Many products that we supply here at FieldTurf Australia must be installed with the correct requirements of sand infill.
Sand infill is installed to protect the longevity of the product and void it from unnecessary wear. It also helps support the product to stand upright.
A key point of sand infill is to help provide improved drainage. It helps to draw the water from the top surface down to the base of the product, which helps to reduce the unnecessary pooling of the water.
If the product is not sanded, it can become very flat and matted-looking which can often result in a very slippery surface when wet.
FieldTurf products has been tested to comply with Australian Standard ISO 9239 by NATA Accredited Laboratory. A certificate can be provided upon request.

Like any synthetic surface, the turf will heat up on extremely hot days. However, it’s not going to heat up where it will burn or cause damage to your bare skin. The sand infill does act as a cooling agent to the grass, which is why it’s important to use the recommended amount of sand infill as per the Manufacturers guidelines. To cool the turf down instantly, spray the area with water. The water will then work its way down into the sand infill & keep the turf cooler for longer.
