Silicone PU court construction offers thickness options of 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm. Whether thicker is better can be a misconception for those unfamiliar with the process. It's understandable that non-experts might think "a little thicker won't matter, so why not go with the thicker option?"
Silicone PU court surface is a highly stain-resistant layer, which is durable and dense, not easily scratched by soles or other hard objects. If it's too thin, it may not meet the national standards and can be easily scratched, rendering the sport ineffective. Does that mean the thicker the silicone PU, the better? Not exactly. Silicone PU sports court is an elastic material; increased thickness can lead to a decrease in ball rebound rate. Excessively thick silicone PU surfaces can result in a poor sports experience. Therefore, to ensure a good sports experience and protect athletes, the thickness of the silicone PU surface should be moderate.
Additionally, the silicon PU court material features a top hard and bottom soft structure. The force and time of ball contact with the ground are limited, which determines that the ball bounces off the hard upper layer of silicon PU before the elastic lower structure has time to react, ensuring the ball's rebound rate. When athletes fall due to collisions, the strong impact force also involves the bottom elastic layer, which then acts as a shock absorber. This is the marvel and the praise-worthy aspect of the silicon PU structure – it ensures the ball's rebound rate while also protecting athletes from injury.
