Hamilton, Bermuda—Ace Insurance Company

Classic Turf Co.'s rooftop installation for the Ace Insurance Company won an award from the American Sports Builders Association for "outstanding work" in the "Outdoor Tennis" category. Classic Turf installed its patented cushioned court surface on top of a parking garage at the Ace Insurance headquarters in Bermuda. Ace Insurance officials chose Classic Turf to replace previous surfaces that had failed on top of the concrete deck.

"Classic Turf's breathable and waterproofing properties allow the Classic Turf System to be installed over the concrete subsurface permanently," says Tumer Eren, the president of Classic Turf. "This permanent installation over the concrete doesn't just give players a soft, comfortable surface with a consistent ball bounce and speed, but also, it protects the concrete slab from the elements, such as the salt air, UV rays, rain and hurricane-force winds."

Eren shipped the prefabricated Classic Turf rubber rolls, along with specialized installation tools, to the Hamilton, Bermuda, site from his factory and warehouse in Woodbury, Conn. After preparation of the concrete slab, the Classic Turf System was installed according to its specifications. The completed court also included the installation of two permanent basketball backboards and hoops.
