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.

Domo® Avantage is a sand-filled tennis product with the look and feel

of a gravel court. This court is the perfect choice for prestige clubs

and hotels wanting to offer their customers the best possible tennis

facility whatever the season.



after rain > easy draining and quick-drying

✔ Game speed (cpr): medium






✔ PE grass fibre has high UV stability and remains

soft even in freezing temperatures


✔ 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.

• Domo® Tiebreak, PE fibrillated yarn, sand-filled

• Domo® Avantage, PE fibrillated yarn, sand-filled and gravel court look

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


✔ Can be played on at all times, all year round, even after rain >

easy-draining and quick-drying


✔ Various colours available (green, white)




✔ Highly technical game (cpr): medium/fast,

dynamic bounce


✔ 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.


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.
