ArmorDeck1 and ArmorDeck2 Heavy-Duty Natural and Synthetic Turf Protection Flooring

ArmorDeck is Signature's premium natural and synthetic stadium floor covering system, designed to handle heavy traffic and provide the ultimate in stability and ground protection. It is by far the most advanced engineered stadium flooring system available and offers unbeatable protection for all types of synthetic and natural grass surfaces and infill.

Several versions are available: ArmorDeck1 has aeration holes to protect live turf from damage while the floor is deployed, and ArmorDeck2 with a solid surface for use over synthetic turf. ArmorDeck3 adds an additional reinforcing panel to the underside of each section for significantly increased strength.

Each ArmorDeck section has a useable surface area of 42" x 42" and is 2” thick to provide rigidity and surface protection and features an integrated connection system, optional drainage and aeration holes, an optional turf pad system, a durable aluminum cam lock system, and unsurpassed liquid spill protection. A translucent version of ArmorDeck is also available that allows some sunlight to pass through for increased natural grass protection.

No system has been as comprehensively engineered to handle the rigors of concert and stadium use and no system incorporates the functionality, features, and capabilities of ArmorDeck.

armordeck is designed to handle heavy weights

The ArmorDeck stadium flooring cover is designed to handle the weights of pedestrian traffic, light vehicles, forklifts, and other moving loads and is the ideal choice for both front of house and back stage areas. Combine ArmorDeck versions for the ultimate integrated stadium flooring system. For example, it is possible to combine ArmorDeck3 with bottom protection layer and the ArmorDeck1 standard aeration version or ArmorDeck2 to create a uniform, fully connected floor for all stadium areas.

ArmorDeck's aluminum cam lock system is stronger than other cam lock systems and provides superior strength and long term durability. Its integrated hook and loop system provides additional torsional stability and strength, enabling ArmorDeck to handle the heaviest of loads.

easy connection system allows for rapid installation

Unlike other flooring systems, Signature's ArmorDeck features an integrated connection system which is self-aligning and provides ease of installation and tremendous strength.

Sections are simply laid into place and self-align using Signature's proprietary hook and loop fastening system, which actually help guide panels into place. For added strength, sections may be locked together using Signature's aluminum cam lock system, though in many applications the basic hook and loop system will suffice and the cam need not be engaged.

Add optional edge pieces for a smooth transition and finished look. Edging connects via the hook and loop connection system and contains cam locks for added security. These sloped ramps prevent tripping and allow easy access for carts, machinery, and wheelchairs. The ribbed surface prevents slipping.

industry leading grass protection capabilities

Signature's ArmorDeck features an expansive moisture canopy and bi-directional ribbing system, which distributes weight effectively and allows grass to grow and flourish even during installation.

A translucent version of ArmorDeck is available for better natural grass protection. Sunlight penetrates the protective panels to allow photosynthesis to continue for the duration of the installation, enabling you to leave ArmorDeck on your natural grass longer.

Drainage and aeration holes provide circulation and help keep your natural turf healthy and safe, while small rims surrounding each drainage hole prevent unwanted liquids from penetrating the surface and reaching the ground.

ArmorDeck tiles overlap, providing the ultimate in surface protection and each overlap/underlay combination also incorporates a liquid capture channel which prevents unwanted liquids from flowing through the seam and onto the protected surface.

All underside ribbing features a radius edge that eliminates any sharp edges and provides additional peace of mind when traversing heavier payloads over the floor.

Optional circular feet provide additional height and clearance while minimizing impact to the grass below. The smooth, rounded edges will not cut the turf, and grass can grow up through the holes.

Staging, speaker towers, and lighting trusses and ballast may be placed on ArmorDeck and the system will provide heavy duty protection.

When you remove your ArmorDeck floor, your grass may actually look better than it did before you installed the flooring. Simply brush your grass after floor removal and unlike other floors, it will be nearly impossible to see any distinguishable pattern resulting from the floor installation.

General tips on protecting your grass during on-field events

armordeck is manufactured using the highest quality materials

Each ArmorDeck panel is expertly manufactured using the finest High Density Plastic (HDPE) materials, which are reinforced with additives for added strength, flex modulus, and izod impact value. A 5-year UV package is incorporated into the material formulation to prevent degradation and brittleness as a result of prolonged sun exposure.

Our cam locks are manufactured from aluminum instead of the plastic found in other products and provide considerable increased strength, eliminating the need to replace broken cams.

armordeck has no channels or dirt catching surfaces

ArmorDeck is designed to be easy to clean and to require minimal maintenance. Our system avoids surface channels, into which dirt, debris, cigarette butts, or other troublesome garbage can get stuck.

Each panel has an anti-slip sandblast finish that is easy to clean using standard cleaning materials, such as mops, brooms, and water. The surface is uniform and consistent, so there are no unsightly patterns or ridges that can catch and retain dirt.

Industry-Leading Engineered Expansion Module

All plastic flooring materials will expand and contract during fluctuating temperature conditions. This phenomenon of thermal expansion is a result of the nuclear expansion within the plastic and is a natural property of all plastic materials (and many other materials as well). In plastic modular floors, expansion can result in floors warping, buckling, disconnecting or otherwise becoming uneven.

Only Signature Flooring offers an engineered expansion joint module to accommodate the thermal expansion that can occur during varying temperature conditions. Like an expansion joint in a bridge, building, or highway, the EventDeck expansion module is designed to accommodate natural expansion.

Until the development of the EventDeck Expansion Module (ED-XJ), event managers, concert promoters, stadium managers, groundskeepers and others involved in the production of concerts or other on-field events simply had to accept the inconvenient condition of thermal expansion at outdoor events as unavoidable.

With ED-XJ organizers can feel comfortable knowing that the EventDeck system will be able to handle temperature fluctuation throughout the day and night, avoiding potential warping or buckling and giving you the peace of mind that an engineered solution is in place.
