Type of surfaces

ARTIFICIAL GRASS

Sport surfaces made of artificial grass are well- known all over the world more than 30 years and during this time they have been continually improved. This process has made their characteristic almost the same like natural grass. Manufacturing technology of artificial turfs is based on many years of experience. Even new generation with rubber infill has its beginnings around 20 years ago. Basic parameters of turf according requested characteristic are mainly: MICRONS- fiber thickness, DTex- weight of fiber, height of fiber and material design.

Currently very popular type of sport surface, recommended by international sport organizations, for example FIFA, ITF or FIH. The surface is suitable for different kinds of sport like handball, volleyball, basketball, tennis or football. Artificial turf of 3rd generation provide high surface resistance connected with comfort and safety of players as well as technically, financially low maintenance cost and long durability. Present technology of 3rd generation uses fibers even softer than natural grass reducing the risk of injury and together with rubber or sand infill provides nearly perfect ball movement on the surface. In cooperation with prestigious manufacturers of artificial surfaces from Netherlands, we are proud to offer you wide variety of turfs according your choice and requirements.

The use of natural turf is limited maximally to 300 hours a year with proper maintenance. If the pitch is used every day, this will certainly result in quality of surface. One of the best solutions how to extend hours of play and improve quality of surface is artificial turf. Using the latest manufacturing technologies and materials, we are able to provide game play during whole year.

Benefits of artificial turf:

  • All- year playability- unlike natural turf, resistance of artificial turf to weather condition and mechanical force is significantly higher. This enables game play through all year, even winter. Weather will not restrict your training or relaxation activities.
  • Durability- artificial surfaces allow many hours of game play with really higher frequency. Even when you respect the appropriate maintenance rules, the game play time reaches 24 hours a day, 7 day a week. This is in contrast with natural surface where you are limited roughly to 300 hours a year.
  • Versatility- artificial turf provides solutions for multi- purpose use. The same surface can be used for public leisure activities (sport or cultural), for training of local sport clubs and even for professional sport events. One of advantages of multi- purpose pitch is its more effective use which helps to improve your budget.
  • Low maintenance cost- maintenance of natural grass require intensive care, lots of work force and considerable investment for example ( irrigation, mowing, fertilizers, etc.). You can reduce or even eliminate those problems with use of artificial turfs and it makes running of pitch affordable investment for clubs, organizations and so on.
  • Cost effective solution- despite of higher initial cost for installation of artificial surfaces versus natural surfaces, the economic advantage consist of massive reduction of annual overhead costs ( lower investment in maintenance technology, less human labor for maintenance, lower energy consumption etc.). At the same time you can use extended playability to variety purposes with possibility of additional revenues.

HARD COURT

Events such as grand slam tournament US OPEN has been played on this surface more than 30 years. In Slovakia, we are exclusive representative of well – known producer of this surface, DECOTURF, for years. Surfaces from DecoTurf are used in the most prestigious sport events and competitions, including Olympic Games.

The DecoTurf® System

Filler Course In order to provide a uniform and dense underlayment for the DecoTurf® system you have choosen, the first step in constructing the course is application of Acrylic Resurfacer blended with approved silica sand to the hot mix asphalt surface.

Heavy Rubber Course Apply DecoTurf II, an acrylic latex coating containing specially graded, large rubber particles, designed to provide maximum resiliency in the minimum number of coats. A unique proprietary product, DecoTurf II provides the thick cushion build- up which gives the particular system you are constructing the foundation for its distinct playing characteristic.

Fine Rubber Course DecoBase II, an acrylic latex coating containing fine rubber aggregates is designed to create a smooth cushion finish, in preparation for the texture and finish courses

Texture Course DecoColor MP Classic, a multipurpose acrylic color concentrate mixed with approved silica sands provides a uniform surface texture and determines the speed of play and traction on the court. DecoColor Pluus, a ready to use sand filled coating, or DecoBase I blender with DecoColor MP Classic may also be used as texturing materials.

Finish Course DecoColor MP Classic, without sand will create a vibrant, durable finish highly resistant to weather and ultra- violent degradation. DecoColor MP Classic is aviable in Forest Green, Winter Green, Spring Green, Summer Red, Adobe Tan, America€™s Red Clay, Stone Gray, Tour Purple and Royal Blue.

Lines DecoColor White Striping Paint, a high hiding, heavy bodied acrylic latex, comes both textured and untextured, and covers in one application.

 

DecoTurf® Mp System

Filler Course In order to provide a uniform and dense underlaymant for asphalt and concrete surfaces, apply 1 or 2 coats of Acrylic Resurfacer blended with approved silica sand to fill surface voids or correct minor imperfections.

Texture Course Apply 2 coats of DecoColor Mp with approved silica sands. This provides a uniform surface texture and determines the speed of play and traction on the court,

Finish Course Apply 1 or 2 coats of DecoColor Mp with or without sand to create a vibrant, durable finish highly resistant to weather and ultra- violent degradation.

Lines DecoColor White Striping Paint, a high hiding, heavy bodied acrylic latex, comes both textured and untextured, and covers in one application.

 

TARTAN

Tartan is destined for universal sport surfaces in exterior areas. It is applied by finisher €“ machine by rolling of surface and can be made out in 2 alternatives: double- layered with lower part of SBR granules (multi- purpose playgrounds) or monolithic from EPDM granules (tennis). It is available in various colors.

ANTUKA

Clay court certainly belongs to the most used surfaces for tennis. This surface is categorized among slow ones and because of that it is suitable for professional and leisure players as well. Besides few drawbacks in comparison with artificial surfaces, clay court is still very popular among tennis players. However, regular watering and laborious maintenance is required for persistent quality of surface and it is reflected on higher cost of labour force and technical equipment. On the other hand, higher operating expenses are compensated for low cost installation of clay court surface. We offer clay court characterized by unique 10 years guarantee i.e. the surface keeps its original attributes acquired by fabrication and does not loose these attributes with passing time. Our clay courts have also health certification and tests.

You have 3 options according required characteristic: soft, middle, rough.

Quality is influenced by: absorbability of clay court material, proportions dusty and rough parts of clay court material, storage of clay court and maintenance of it.
