ARMOR makes your job easier
®
The ARMOR Crack Repair System utilizes a specially knitted fabric that expands as the crack widens. Fabrics that do not expand (such as fiberglass) simply tear or delaminate as the crack widens during the cold winter months. Our fabric, however, stretches similar to t-shirt material. The secret to making our fabric work best is how it is purposely NOT bonded to the court in the vicinity of the crack (sometimes called a “slipsheet”). This allows more movement of the crack without the fabric tearing or delaminating from the surface. Thus, the reason why the ARMOR Crack Repair System works so well is that it effectively spreads the stress of the crack over a six-inch wide area of expandable fabric.
And your clients happier.
ARMOR has successfully kept repaired structural cracks from reappearing on the surface of tennis courts for as long as 20 years. But beware, all crack repair “systems” are not the same. ARMOR, the original fabric crack repair system, is the benchmark to which all other systems compare. Of the most popular crack repair “systems”, the ARMOR Crack Repair System is the only one that utilizes the proven “slipsheet” technology. The completed ARMOR repair is the widest of all repairs at thirty-six inches. Narrow repairs tend to delaminate. And, most importantly, ARMOR employs two layers of expandable fabric over the crack, whereas the other systems use only one layer. Other systems are promoted as being “faster to install” since one layer is faster to install than two. But, two layers are proven to last twice as long.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
SURFACE PREPARATION:
The existing surface must be clean and contaminate free. The repair will not stick to dirt, mildew, pollen, dust, leaves, or loose paint. Scraping the surface of the court and blowing off all the debris is usually adequate; however, pressure washing the court surface is sometimes necessary. In those cases, the cracks should be filled first to prevent water from going into the cracks during pressure washing. Remove all previous crack repair materials that are loose or not bonded well to the court, including any rubberized crack filling material. If you can peel up the old repairs or the existing surface coatings, then they must be removed in order to provide a sound base for the ARMOR Crack Repair System to adhere. This repair will only be as strong as the surface to which it is bonded.
INSTALLATION:
Installation of ARMOR does not leave margin for error; therefore, it is not a do-it-yourself product. ARMOR is sold to and installed by tennis court contractors who have the tools and experience necessary to understand the application. It is absolutely imperative that ARMOR is installed according to our explicit video instructions. Any deviation during installation may cause this system to fail.

Bring your game to a new level
By using ARMOR, you have already elevated your status in the tennis court repair business. Most contractors simply install crack filler or put fiberglass fabric over the cracks. Almost without exception, both of these very common repair techniques will fail within one year, thus wasting both time and money. By using the ARMOR Crack Repair System, your investment will last much longer than one season. In fact, most ARMOR repairs last more than 15 years.
