Are Your Sports Court Tiles Independently Slip Tested to Australian Standards?

When choosing a sports court surface, it is easy to compare colours, price and appearance. But one of the most important questions is often overlooked. Has the surface been independently slip tested to Australian Standards? Not all sports court surfaces are tested to the same level, and not all suppliers can provide independent evidence of slip resistance. At Sports Courts Victoria, we believe safety should be built into every court from the ground up.

Slam Man Sports Tiles Are NATA Laboratory Tested for Slip Resistance and Performance

Our premium Slam Man sports tile systems have been independently tested by a NATA-accredited laboratory to ensure they deliver the grip, traction and safety expected from a high-quality sports court surface. Both Slam Man Elite and Slam Man Pro Cushion have been tested in accordance with AS 4586:2013, the Australian Standard for slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surfaces.

• Slam Man Elite achieved a P4 slip resistance classification in accordance with AS 4586:2013.
• Slam Man Pro Cushion achieved a P5 slip resistance classification, exceeding the P4 result and providing outstanding slip resistance.

For schools, councils, caravan parks, community facilities, sports clubs and backyard courts, independent slip testing provides confidence that the surface has been assessed against recognised Australian Standards.

Safe Sports Court Surfaces Built for Australian Conditions

Safety is essential, but it is only part of the story. A great sports court surface must also feel good to play on, perform consistently and stand up to Australian conditions. Slam Man sports tiles are engineered to deliver:

• Consistent and true ball bounce
• Excellent player grip
• Superior cushioning and underfoot comfort
• Reduced fatigue for longer play
• Reduced noise
• Fast drainage and low maintenance performance
• A premium playing experience for athletes of all ages

You should not have to choose between performance and safety. With Slam Man sports tiles, you get both. Whether you are building a basketball court, pickleball court, netball court, tennis court, volleyball court, badminton court or multi-sport court, the surface matters. A properly tested surface can help reduce slip risk, improve player confidence and support safer play across a wide range of uses. Our court systems are also made for Australian conditions, with UV-stable materials, strong drainage performance and durable construction designed for long-term outdoor and indoor use. If you are comparing sports court surfaces, do not just ask about price. Ask whether the surface has been independently slip tested to Australian Standards. We are happy to provide our independent test reports on request. At Sports Courts Victoria, we bring together safety, performance and proven product knowledge backed by more than 16 years in sports court construction and over 20 years in civil construction and surface technology. Why dribble, when you can SLAM?
