Dirt and debris accumulate on synthetic surfaces
in a variety of ways, a major one being the trafficking
of dirt onto the surface by players' footwear. You will
notice how the area around the gateway will quickly become
contaminated (sand infill will darken). This in itself represents
a health and safety risk as the area will become slippery,
compromising player safety. Eventually, over a period of
time this contamination will continue to spread into
the playing area of the pitch. At this stage
it is likely that the sand infill will need to be removed
and replaced with fresh
sand.
 As
one of the UK’s leading authorities on maintaining synthetic
pitches, Technical
Surfaces understand this problem and have designed
entrance matting to reduce this risk. The
matting incorporates a dense polypropylene
carpet which acts to brush the
footwear while trapping the dirt within the pile. It
is backed with a heavy-duty PVC coating with is punctured
with holes at 125mm centres to aid drainage and can therefore
be placed directly onto the pitch surface, paved area,
tarmac etc. The weight of this backing keeps the mat in
place and stabilises the carpet. The matting can be easily
cleaned with a brush or periodically power washed to remove
the collected debris.
