Sports Field Sand
Sports field sand is a washed, dust-free natural sand used as infill material on artificial-turf pitches and on beach volleyball courts. In these applications the grain shape, cleanliness and drainage of the sand determine both pitch performance and player comfort. Washed, de-dusted and rounded silica sand supports the artificial-turf fibres while providing good drainage.
How to Choose Sports Field Sand
Several properties define a good sports field sand. Grain shape matters; rounded grains support the artificial-turf fibres without wearing them and create a more comfortable surface for players. Being washed and having a low dust content keeps the pitch drainage open and prevents dust from rising during play. A controlled grain distribution ensures the infill spreads evenly and produces a homogeneous surface. Natural silica sand is used washed and screened in these applications.
Recommended Sand for Sports Fields
For artificial-turf infill and beach volleyball applications, a medium-fine, washed and rounded sand is preferred. We can determine the suitable fraction together, depending on the pitch type and turf system.
