Steps In Resurfacing Artificial Pitches

Everyone knows that natural football fields require maintenance, but many do not know that artificial pitch resurfacing is also necessary. Artificial fields are also, worn out during training and during games, and therefore they must be maintained regularly.

The following steps should be taken to maintain artificial pitches.

First, thorough cleaning is necessary. This means removing debris, dust and other impurities. Then comes the fiber brushing process. It serves to lift and clean the fibers of the artificial grass. After that, rubber or sand is added to restore the support and to give the artificial turf additional elasticity.

If the artificial grass has been damaged in some places, the procedure of adding new fibers must be applied so that the pitch has the same density everywhere, and thus its resistance increases. Adding additives such as UV protection substances is also often used. These additives are especially useful during the summer months when UV radiation is high and affects the damage of artificial grass. With their help, the resistance of fibers to other negative factors that affect the deterioration of artificial grass is increased.

At the end, the terrain is rolled in order to achieve an even distribution of all accessories and to obtain an ideally flat terrain.

This procedure must be carried out several times a year, in order to preserve the quality and durability of the artificial field.

In order for the field to always look beautiful even though it is made of artificial grass, it is necessary to carry out artificial pitch resurfacing, in order to enable the players to play safely.
