A question frequently asked for the old sports floors is, how and when a renovation is necessary, since use and weather can affect the elasticity and the flatness of the surfaces.
By assessing the functional properties related to sports and safety, we can determine whether the behaviour of the surface or the covering still conforms to the standard and hence only needs to be partially repaired, or whether a partial or complete renovation is necessary.
In sports halls, tests of old floors include technical testing of the elasticity of the construction and the elastic structures, as well as assessment of the upper surface, the lips and the frame and the lid.
In case of worn out synthetic turfs a statement about possible improvements can be made, based on the results of tests of the remaining force reduction, the ball rolling path and the flatness, which allow conclusions to be drawn about the condition of the elastic layer.
