Brick dust is used as a top layer on clay tennis courts. It ensures a smooth, non-slip playing surface, good drainage, and a pleasant ball bounce height.
Brick dust is sand ground from fired clay without any binding agents. High-quality brick dust is essential for the construction and renovation of tennis courts and contributes significantly to the quality, safety, and longevity of a clay court.
Advantages of brick dust on tennis courts:
Water drainage - rain seeps away quickly, so the pitch is playable again sooner after rainfall.
Good playing characteristics - The ball bounce is predictable and the pitch offers good grip.
Reduced stress on joints - clay courts are softer than hard courts, which reduces the risk of injury.
Self-renewing surface - Through regular wiping, the material is distributed evenly and constantly renews itself.
Maintenance of a brick dust tennis court:
Daily removal with a drag net after playing.
Water to prevent dust formation and keep the surface compact.
Sprinkle brick dust to compensate for wear.
Spring maintenance, in which the top layer is filled and leveled.
