QUALItY GUARANtEEDOur artificial grass tennis products are among the best on the market. They have sailed through tests by the independent laboratory Labosport and the Institute for Sports Facilities (ISA), among other institutions.
Domo® tennis products are subjected to a variety of tests as specified by the “International Tennis Federation” (ITF) and the EN15330 standard. The ITF determines the speed of the surface and then classifies it as slow, medium or fast. This classification is important in connection with the further international standardisation of equipment used in tennis. The main EN tests are: slip resistance, traction, shock absorption, water permeability and durability.
• Domo® Smash has acquired the category 2, medium/slow classification from ITF and is in compliance with the EN15330 standard.• Domo® Avantage is in compliance with the EN15330 standard.• Domo® Tiebreak is in compliance with the standards as set forth by the Netherlands Tennis Federation.
Tennis is a popular sport, and nowadays more and more people are
taking it up. It is therefore no surprise that demand for courts that
can be used all year round is on the rise. Traditional surfaces such as
grass, gravel and tarmac therefore sometimes have to make room for
alternatives such as artificial grass.
In the early 1980s, manufacturers began to specialise in surfaces
for individual sports such as tennis. Artificial grass surfaces were
produced with long fibres and a lower density, with the entire
construction being filled with sand. The sand introduced a great
many advantages: the ball bounce properties could be adapted and
it supported the fibres. This ensured a longer life, better drainage and
lower installation costs.

BENEFITS OF A DOMO® TENNIS COURT
Every Domo® artificial grass court possesses a number of fundamental basic properties.
Stable surface
Domo® tennis courts are made from artificial grass fibres. The fibres hold the grains of sand in place, preventing them from
moving. The sand fill also keeps the artificial grass fibres nice and straight, thereby guaranteeing greater stability.
Can be played on at all times, all year round,
even after rain > easy-draining and quick-drying
After a downpour the court dries out in almost no time, allowing games to be continued straight away. The water drains
excellently through the grass mat and the porous base.
Consistent even bounce thanks to perfectly level playing surface
Classic natural or gravel courts very quickly become uneven and pitted. A Domo® artificial grass court is made from fibres,
which creates an even artificial grass mat with a high density. This grass mat is placed on top of a level, stable and draining
base. This guarantees a consistent, high bounce. Perfect for good topspin or slice.
A WIDE RANGE OF ARtIFICIAL GRASS COURtS Domo® Sports Grass produces artificial grass courts for both recreational and professional use, for slow, medium and fast tennis.
1. Courts with a slow to medium game speed • Domo® Smash, PP fibrillated yarn, sand-filled • Domo® Tiebreak, PE fibrillated yarn, sand-filled
Courts with a medium game speed and gravel look • Domo® Avantage, PE fibrillated yarn, sand-filled
2. Courts with a fast game speed • Domo® Topspin, PE monofilament yarn, half sand-filled
3. Standard tennis kits
Excellent traction and strong grip on the court
From left to right, from front to back, short sprints alternating with sharp turns... This requires not only talent and effort, but also
excellent traction. This works perfectly on an artificial grass court.
Various colours available with built-in markings
Domo® tennis courts are grass mats that are available in various colours. Very often a court is finished with a red inner area and
a green border. The markings are incorporated into the carpet in white.
Minimal maintenance
Classic tennis courts require a lot of time: to dry, to repair, to maintain, etc. Domo® Sports grass courts do not need
maintaining with rollers. Nor do they need to be watered, and the lines do not constantly have to be made visible. These courts
dry much more quickly than a classic gravel court, and are much less sensitive to problems of traction. Also, you do not need
to water them in the summer, and they will still remain dust-free. An artificial grass court is best maintained by regular use of a
mat trawl and an annual treatment for algae and moss.

and hotels wanting to offer their customers the best possible tennis
facility whatever the season.

✔ Various colours available (green, red, white)
✔ Built-in markings

✔ PE grass fibre has high UV stability and remains

Additional advantages
✔ Permanent sliding-properties
Domo® Avantage is covered with an extra layer of fine red sand which
gives the court the typical sliding properties of a gravel court. The fine
sand grains are round in shape, creating a perfect sliding surface. The
round grain also ensures water drains away completely, preventing the
top surface from hardening or compacting. The sliding properties are
therefore permanently present.
✔ Gravel court look with built-in markings
Domo® Avantage is a sand-filled tennis product with the look and feel
of a gravel court. This tennis court is unique because it is produced
with red fibres and filled with a layer of red sand on top. The fibrillated
fibres of this grass mat form a closed, dense structure and hold the
sand grains firmly in place. This prevents the bottom layer of white
sand from mixing with the top layer of red sand.

Courts with a medium game speed are fully sand-filled, ideal for all round recreative activities. As regards game speed they are in keeping with the classic gravel courts. No surprise therefore that hotels, sports and tennis clubs, where courts are often used intensively and for various purposes, choose sand-filled artificial grass courts.

DOMO® TOPSPIN
PE texturised monofilament yarn, half sand-filled,
fully closed structure
✔ Flat stable playing surface
✔ Can be played on at all times, all year round, even after rain >
easy-draining and quick-drying
✔ Excellent traction and strong grip on the court
✔ Various colours available (green, white)
✔ Built-in markings
✔ Consistent even bounce thanks to the closed
structure of the grass mat
✔ Highly technical game (cpr): medium/fast,
dynamic bounce
Additional advantages
✔ Hard-wearing and UV stable
A monofilament yarn is naturally strong and thus hard-wearing. This
was established in the LISPORT test in which this product scored very
highly. The solid PE monofilament means that the yarn is protected
from the sun and consequently more UV stable.
✔ Perfectly controlled bounce
The use of multidirectional texturised yarn means that Topspin is an
extremely closed, dense grass mat. This closed playing surface gives
an extremely controlled bounce.
✔ Attractive appearance
Topspin has the natural look of an unfilled court. The filled sand is
hidden by the texturised yarn. The mat is constructed in two shades
of green.
✔ Minimal maintenance
Topspin is a grass mat with texturised fibres which hold the grains of
sand firmly in place meaning that the sand moves around less and
resulting in minimal maintenance.

THE STRUCTURE OF A TENNIS COURT
Domo® Sports Grass believes strongly in the importance of having
a high-quality foundation on which to lay the artificial grass. A good
foundation and, depending on the quality, an appropriate sand fill
for the artificial grass result in a high-quality pitch that requires little
maintenance, is safe for the players and can be played on at all times.
The essential requirements for a good foundation are stability for good
compressive strength, porosity for good frost resistance and levelness
for perfect playability.
The structure of a pitch must always be tailored to the specific soil
conditions of the region.
