Artificial grass has become a popular surface choice for sports fields, playgrounds, and modern landscaping. During installation, infill materials play a crucial role in maintaining performance, durability, and player safety. Choosing the right infill ensures the turf stays upright, stable, and comfortable underfoot.
Why Is Infill Important?
Infill helps to:
Support artificial grass fibers and keep them standing
Enhance shock absorption and reduce injuries
Improve ball bounce and sports performance
Provide weight to keep turf securely in place
Increase drainage and weather resistance
Whether for sports turf or landscape turf, infill is a key component of long-lasting installation.
Common Types of Artificial Grass Infil
1. Silica Sand
Silica sand is the most widely used infill material. It provides stability and cost-effective performance for landscaping and light-use areas.
2. Rubber Granules
SBR or EPDM rubber granules are popular for sports fields such as football, soccer, and playgrounds. Rubber infill improves elasticity, cushioning, and energy return.
3. TPE Granules
Thermoplastic elastomer infill is more eco-friendly with excellent resilience and reduced heat absorption—suitable for premium sports systems.
4. Organic Infill
Cork and coconut fibers are natural and sustainable materials that reduce surface temperature and provide improved comfort outdoors.
Choosing the Best Infill
Selection depends on project type, budget, and performance requirements. Sports stadiums often prefer rubber or TPE, while residential gardens commonly use silica sand. A combination of materials can also optimize results.
