Synthetic grass, a surface that is ideal for countless uses

Synthetic grass on sports fields

Synthetic grass, also known as synthetic turf or artificial grass, is an extremely versatile product that can be used in a wide range of contexts due to its durability, easy maintenance and low installation costs.

In this article, Bellon Mit will explain how it can be used for various sports fields, including football fields, golf courses, hockey fields, tennis courts or rugby fields. Synthetic grass provides an ideal surface for sports as this material is resistant to bad weather conditions and constant wear and tear. It doesn’t require frequent maintenance, such as mowing or watering, and it can be used for countless types of sports.

Synthetic grass on football fields

In recent years, football, the most popular sport in Italy, has been turning to synthetic grass football fields instead of, or in combination with, natural grass. Synthetic grass affects performance by reducing skid marks and providing a consistent playing surface. It has a natural appearance, excellent resistance to wear and tear, for example, due to skidding, bouncing and knocks, and to extreme weather conditions. Maintenance is easy as special equipment can be used such as the TSPF5 Front Sweeper with roller brushes.

Synthetic grass on golf courses

Synthetic grass on golf courses is becoming increasingly popular among golfers and golf course owners. This type of artificial turf delivers better performance on the golf course, as well as substantial savings due to low installation costs and durability.

Synthetic grass on hockey fields

Using synthetic grass on hockey fields is a winning choice, since it requires low maintenance. This material also offers excellent traction and an even surface that facilitates fast and controlled play on even ground due to its elliptical fibre composition.

Synthetic grass on tennis courts

Tennis courts can be made of natural grass, clay, concrete or synthetic grass. Different tournaments are categorised precisely according to the type of playing surface, just as each tennis player specialises depending on the court surface.

A synthetic grass tennis court is similar to a concrete court with regard to the speed of play, but it ensures a surface as bouncy as clay courts in terms of constant ball bounce.

Synthetic grass on rugby fields

Artificial turf is essential for this type of sports activity. The sport of rugby involves frequent skidding and high levels of stress on the ground. Natural grass surfaces often result in muddy areas or areas with no grass at all. By using synthetic grass, the surface remains even despite heavy wear and tear. This type of sport requires elastic mats to be inserted below the synthetic grass surface in order to provide cushioning when players fall.
