Football and Soccer Artificial Grass Products

ArtTurf's soft, non-abrasive fibres, designed to replicate artificial grass in colour, feel and performance, allow the football to "sit" in the surface, controlling ball roll, allowing sliding tackles and freedom of movement for the player to perform a full selection of skills. Lower down in the fibres sits a layer of recycled rubber, which adds resilience to control ball bounce and absorbs impact.
