Monofilament Yarns – The preferred choice for long-pile pitches
Monofilament yarns are the best fibres for meeting both FIFA and World Rugby quality standards, including ball roll and durability. This makes it essential for top-level pitches in stadiums or academies.
Also, as a result of the various green shades available, it’s possible to create a more natural appearance – making monofilament yarns a popular choice.
Strengths
- Aesthetics – bi-colour yarns and mixed shapes result in a more natural appearance
- Individual fibres – strength and resilience are at the core of essential performance elements, such as ball roll and body-to-surface interaction
- Durability – tufted monofilament surfaces outperform in terms of durability
Fibrillated Yarns – Enhanced Durability for Heavy Duty Surfaces
Fibrillated yarns will deliver a good standard of play and a longer useful life for a number of intensively used surfaces e.g. five-a-side pitches, high foot traffic training pitches and full-size fields with heavy use.
This makes fibrillated fibres suitable for both community and commercial facilities, such as those owned by councils, schools or private enterprises.
Strengths
- Durability – increased durability which extends the surface life
- Coverage – the fibrillated yarn spreads to provide fibre both at the top and the base of the surface, helping to hold infill in place
- Tuft lock – as the pitch ages, the fibres remain upright and do not come loose
- High Performance – fibrillated yarns are versatile, enhanced durability with softness as an added benefit.
Texturised Monofilament Yarns – Advanced Fibres for Non-Contact Sports
Texturised yarns are ideal for hockey to the highest level, but also for use as a dual-purpose hockey/tennis surface. This makes it suitable for sports clubs, schools, universities and community sports centres. For golf greens, it offers the truest surface, whether for practicing or competitions, thus making it ideal for golf courses and private clubs alike.
Strengths
- High Performance – Texturised yarns enhance performance and achieve much better play when compared with nylon surfaces
- Durability – the surface has the ability to perform to its optimum level for longer, with an increased life expectancy overall
- Infill Encapsulation – the curly fibre effectively encapsulates sand infill, reducing ongoing brushing requirements
- Versatility – provides perfect non-directional ball roll for hockey, with golf and tennis balanced with excellent foot and ball grip
