Polypave Court Shield at Raleigh Pickleball Court Event

Polypave Court Shield recently had the opportunity to showcase its patented crack prevention technology during a new pickleball court installation in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held on May 22–23, 2025, the live demonstration allowed contractors, facility managers, and industry professionals to see the system in action.

This hands-on presentation highlighted how Polypave Court Shield helps extend the life of new asphalt courts while simplifying installation and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Showcasing Athletic Court Innovation in Raleigh

During the two-day installation event in Raleigh, the Polypave team was on-site to present and demonstrate its innovative Court Shield system as part of a new pickleball court construction project. 

Our participation at the event served as a real-world example of how the system integrates directly into the court-building process. Attendees had the chance to observe the application process and learn how the Polypave system reinforces asphalt courts proactively to prevent surface cracks. By using an active job site as the backdrop, our demonstration highlighted both the simplicity and effectiveness of the Polypave Court Shield approach for new athletic courts.

Cracking is one of the most common and costly problems in outdoor court construction. Traditional repair methods often address damage after it appears—but Polypave Court Shield takes a different approach. Developed to solve this challenge proactively, our crack prevention product was selected for the Raleigh project because of its forward-thinking design and proven benefits. 

Developed Through Years of Research and Testing

Polypave Court Shield was created after more than a decade of research, field trials, and expert refinement. The team behind the system brings over 40 years of court construction experience, ensuring the product is grounded in practical insight and real-world performance.

Surface Reinforcement Technology

Unlike reactive crack repair products, this system is installed during the initial construction phase—forming a flexible, reinforced layer over the asphalt. This method helps reduce the likelihood of surface cracking and preserves court integrity over time.

Ideal for New Asphalt Court Construction

The Raleigh project involved building new pickleball courts on asphalt surfaces, making it an ideal application for Polypave Court Shield. The system bonds directly with fresh asphalt, simplifying integration and allowing contractors to protect the surface from day one.

Designed to Reduce Long-Term Maintenance Costs

By preventing cracks before they form, Polypave Court Shield helps reduce the need for future repairs and resurfacing. This long-term value was a key reason it was featured in the Raleigh installation, as municipalities and court owners increasingly look for cost-effective, sustainable athletic court protection solutions.

Versatile Across Multiple Court Types

Although featured on a pickleball installation, the system is equally suited for tennis courts, basketball courts, multi-use courts, and other recreational surfaces. Its flexibility and adaptability make it a valuable tool for a wide range of athletic projects.

Key Advantages of the Polypave Court Shield System

Polypave Court Shield is more than a construction upgrade—it’s a long-term investment in court quality, durability, and user experience. Whether you're managing public facilities, building private courts, or maintaining athletic complexes, the system offers tangible benefits across every level of use.

Here’s what makes it a smart solution for contractors, facility managers, and players alike:

The system reinforces new asphalt at the time of installation, reducing the risk of cracking before it begins. This leads to better long-term court performance and visual appeal.

Polypave Court Shield is designed to fit within standard construction timelines, requiring no specialty equipment and offering on-site training to help crews implement it with confidence.

Cracks can disrupt bounce, footing, and overall safety. By maintaining a smooth, even surface, Polypave helps ensure reliable play conditions that athletes of all levels can enjoy.

For schools, municipalities, and parks, having well-maintained courts improves community satisfaction and promotes continued use—enhancing the reputation of the facility.

Designed to withstand extreme heat, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles, the Polypave system performs reliably in a wide range of geographic conditions—ideal for both local and nationwide adoption.

A Step Toward National Expansion

The Raleigh demonstration marked a significant milestone in Polypave Court Shield’s journey toward broader market adoption. By showcasing our innovative system in a real-world installation, the event helped build awareness among industry professionals, court contractors, and municipal decision-makers—all of whom play a key role in shaping the future of recreational infrastructure.

As interest grows, Polypave is actively forming strategic partnerships with distributors and installation teams across the country. The goal is to make this proactive crack prevention system more widely accessible to parks departments, schools, athletic facilities, and private developers looking for a smarter way to build outdoor athletic courts.

This event wasn’t just about demonstrating a product—it was about setting the foundation for long-term growth and bringing a durable, cost-effective court solution to a national audience.
