TigerTurf receive AFL Synthetic Turf Product Approval
01/12/2010Jo Prothero
TigerTurf Total Turf has successfully passed all laboratory tests and meets the AFL/CA Community Level standards for synthetic turf playing surface for the games of Australian Football and Cricket.
TigerTurf is one of three AFL approved synthetic turf manufacturers.
Total Turf is a 65mm pile height surface combining an ‘S’ and ‘C’ shaped yarn, infilled with sand and rubber. The ‘S’ shaped yarn gives the surface structure due to the inbuilt memory so even after heavy use the blades spring back preventing the turf from lying flat. The ‘C’ shaped yarn sits slightly below the ‘S’ shaped yarn to encapsulate the rubber infill, reducing the infill splash for improved player comfort.
To ensure the finished surface meets the required critical fall height, the surface is installed over a 24mm prefabricated Brook shockpad. It has a unique capacity to absorb high impact loads for safer playing environment and comes with a 20 year warranty. Insitu shockpads do not offer the same fall height as this system.
The total system creates a surface that feels and plays like natural grass giving players and coaches peace of mind.
TigerTurf has already installed several recreational ovals at throughout Victoria with TigerTurf products:
- Mill Park Secondary College
- Mazenod College
- Kunyung Primary School
- St Thomas the Apostle Primary School
Watch this space for the first AFL synthetic turf installation.
