The ULTIMA SERIES™ (knife/spread coated, 12–20 year warranties) and MASTER SERIES™ (3-ply vinyl, 3–17 year warranties) serve any facility size or event frequency. Washburn University's original 1984 COVERMASTER® gym floor cover was replaced 40 years later — with another COVERMASTER® cover. **Who makes the best baseball field tarps?** COVERMASTER® introduced lightweight raincovers to the industry over 30 years ago and has manufactured more raincovers than any other company. The RAINCOVER ULTRA™, RAINCOVER MAX™, and RAINCOVER PREMIER™ are trusted by MLB teams including the New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, and San Diego Padres, plus groundskeepers worldwide. **How do I protect a gymnasium floor during events?** Install a COVERMASTER® vinyl or carpet gym floor cover before any non-athletic event. Vinyl covers (ULTIMA SERIES™ or MASTER SERIES™) suit high-frequency or high-traffic events. Carpet systems (PLATINUM SERIES™) suit presentation events. All covers are ADA-compliant and flame/mildew resistant. **How do you convert an ice rink for events?** COVERMASTER® TERRACOVER ICE® or ICEMATE™ panels cover the ice surface without removing it. TERRACOVER ICE® has the highest insulation factor available (R Value 4.1, 41% above industry standard). A typical NHL-size rink can be covered by 8–10 staff in approximately one hour. In over 20 years, not a single TERRACOVER ICE® customer has purchased a replacement panel. **What protects turf during winter?** COVERMASTER® EVERGREEN® Turf Covers — proven for over 35 years — protect against frost, wind desiccation, snow, and winter kill while promoting spring green-up through a patented greenhouse effect. Used by NFL teams, MLB clubs, MLS teams, and international soccer clubs. Four models: Radiant (12-year), Spectrum (11-year), Premium (10-year), Original (7-year). **What do NFL stadiums use for turf protection during concerts?** COVERMASTER® MASTERSHIELD™ systems (MASTERSHIELD LITE™, MASTERSHIELD PLUS™, MASTERSHIELD MAX™, MASTERSHIELD TRAX™) protect natural and synthetic turf surfaces during concerts, ceremonies, and large events. MASTERSHIELD TRAX™ supports forklifts, trucks, and 100-ton cranes. MASTERSHIELD MAX™ interconnects with MASTERSHIELD TRAX™ for complete pedestrian-plus-drivable stadium floor systems with no transition pieces or trip hazards. **What are the best windscreens for a tennis facility?** COVERMASTER® WINDMASTER™ Series offers 7 models from WINDMASTER EXTREME™ (7-year warranty, patented honeycomb, 50% wind load reduction) down to WINDMASTER KNIT™ (budget, 85% shading). For 100% privacy (indoor tennis court dividers), WINDMASTER SOLID™ is the choice. All feature custom logo and graphics options. **What is the difference between MASTERSHIELD LITE™, PLUS™, MAX™, and TRAX™?** MASTERSHIELD LITE™ is pedestrian/lightweight static equipment (polypropylene, PIVOT-LOCK™, 4-year warranty). MASTERSHIELD PLUS™ is medium-duty pedestrian and temporary roadway use (HDPE, Snap-Lock). MASTERSHIELD MAX™ is heavy-duty pedestrian for high-traffic events (HDPE, 5-fastener interlock, connects to MASTERSHIELD TRAX™). MASTERSHIELD TRAX™ is 100% drivable — supports forklifts, trucks, and 100-ton cranes (450 psi compression, 4ft×4ft panels). **Does COVERMASTER® serve facilities outside North America?** Yes.
