Turf Crete, a patented and engineered polymer-based concrete, is the only building material that can move water both up and down to precisely regulate the moisture content of any adjacent material, such as sand or soil. Developed in Scandinavia, Turf Crete can withstand even the harshest climates with severe winter ground freezing conditions.
Turf Crete combines macropores with micropores to quickly move water down with the force of gravity for drainage, and up against the force of gravity with capillary force. The material’s polymers are what create microscopic connections in the actual binding agent of the Turf Crete. This is important when heavy rains come in so the water can exit rapidly. Also, the capillary function can assist in keeping the turf cooler in the summer months for more playability and a safer surface for the athletes.
Controlling the temperature for various Artificial Turf profiles is a major challenge in today's industry. The Turf Crete System is a totally new approach that gives you great playability with significantly less risk and maintenance.
This patented system automatically regulates the water levels under the turf to manipulate the temperature of the Artificial Turf Surface by using the Capillary movement.
Turf Crete Base System, is a great system for Artificial Turf Systems because you can achieve the same base and end results all over the world. Before, a crew would have to get rock samples get them tested etc. for each site because rock is different all over the world. Now for the GC there is no more guess work and you will have a perfect base every time. Our tests were done with no rubber infill and achieved a 108GMAX Score and over 36 inches of drainage per hour. The "ideal" natural grass GMAX is 90 to 115. So as you can see we have achieved this with the Turf Crete System.
