Clublasts

Clublasts are a type of artificial turf specifically designed for use in sports clubs and athletic facilities. These synthetic surfaces are engineered to mimic the feel and performance of natural grass while offering increased durability and reduced maintenance requirements. The construction of clublasts typically involves a dense, short-pile carpet made from polyethylene or nylon fibers, often with a sand or rubber infill to provide cushioning and support. This infill helps the blades of synthetic grass to stand upright and prevents the surface from becoming too hard or compacted.

The primary advantage of clublasts is their ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and frequent use, making them ideal for high-demand areas like football pitches, hockey fields, and multi-purpose sports courts. They offer consistent playing conditions regardless of weather, eliminating issues like mud, waterlogging, and bare patches that can affect natural grass. This consistency can contribute to improved athletic performance and a reduced risk of injuries.

Maintenance for clublasts is significantly lower than for natural grass. While still requiring some upkeep such as brushing to keep the infill distributed and occasional cleaning, they do not need mowing, watering, fertilizing, or aeration. This cost-effectiveness and reduction in labor make them an attractive option for sports organizations. However, the initial installation cost can be substantial. Over time, the fibers can wear down and the infill may need replenishment.
