Game Changer: How CSS Revolutionized Resurfacing
You’ve likely applied (or benefited from) CSS acrylic resurfacer (AR) dozens of times—but acrylic resurfacer is not just “another coat.” It’s the critical foundation that defines how your top layers will look, perform, and endure.
Since CSS first introduced an acrylic-based resurfacer in 1978, we have pushed the boundaries of what AR can do—improving durability, workability, and flexibility along the way.
Here are some highlights:
1. Cracks don’t have to mean the end of your court.
Using a quality Acrylic Resurfacer can help to hide crack repairs, fill worn spots, and set the stage for a resilient, eye-catching finish. Whether you’re repairing or starting fresh, our varieties of AR give you the fresh start you need for enduring performance.
2. Pre-Mixed Resurfacer for Consistent Results.Mixing and measuring sand onsite can be a hassle, so we offer Factory‑Fortified Acrylic Resurfacer w/ Sand to simplify things. Just add water! It comes pre‑mixed with the right texture so installers get a consistent finish without having to handle loose silica bags. That means cleaner jobs, faster work, and a solid base ready for color coats.
3. The Resilient Base for Shifting Courts.Flexible Acrylic Resurfacer is designed for substrates that experience movement, whether from temperature swings, settling, or moisture. Whether going over an existing cushion system or where there is some instability in the base, Flexible AR gives your courts a resilient base.
4. For Seamless Repairs: A Neutral Base That Blends Right In.Thinking of redoing patches or worn areas on your court but want a clean, less visible underlayer? Our Neutral Acrylic Resurfacer gives you just that. It’s perfect for covering crack repairs or blending patched spots, because the neutral tone helps the undercoat stay subtle while giving you a uniform base for your top color system.
Why CSS AR Stands Out
Decades of refinement. We’ve evolved from the first-generation AR to specialized neutral, sand-filled, and flexible versions.
Quality control. Our formulations are factory-validated to ensure batch consistency.
Support & guidance. We don’t just sell AR—we back it with technical resources, training, and field support to help your crews hit it right the first time.
