Safety and Performance Features for Athletes
Athletic facilities demand surfaces that balance performance with injury prevention. ATS turf systems are engineered to protect athletes while maintaining consistent playability.
- Shock Absorption: ProPLAY and SportPRO specifications reduce impact-related injuries, with studies showing up to 40% fewer injuries compared to natural grass when paired with crumb rubber infill.
- Slip Resistance: Turf blades and infill provide stable traction, reducing slips during high-intensity training and competition.
- Cushioned Surface: Soft, forgiving polyethylene fibers help absorb stress on joints, making turf suitable for fitness training, cross-training, and rehab activities.
- Consistent Playability: Unlike natural grass, which can become uneven or muddy, ATS turf delivers uniform footing year-round.
- Safe Materials: All products are PFAS-safe, lead-free, and non-toxic, ensuring a healthier training environment.
Built to Withstand Heavy Use with Minimal Upkeep
Gyms, training centers, and sports complexes experience some of the most intense wear of any environment. ATS turf is engineered to handle continuous use while keeping maintenance simple.
- Extreme Durability: High face weights (up to 80–90 oz) and UV-stabilized polyethylene fibers resist matting, fading, and heavy traffic from athletes and equipment.
- All-Weather Performance: Turf remains reliable indoors and outdoors, unaffected by heat, rain, or snow.
- Minimal Maintenance: No watering, mowing, or re-sodding. Surfaces require only light cleaning such as brushing fibers upright and rinsing debris to stay in top condition.
- Long Lifespan: With proper care, ATS athletic turf lasts 15–20 years, far outpacing natural grass or low-grade flooring in athletic settings.
- Cost Efficiency: Facilities save significantly on labor, irrigation, and field maintenance, achieving ROI in as little as 3–5 years.
Superior Drainage and Hygiene for Athletic Environments
Whether indoors or outdoors, athletic facilities require surfaces that stay dry, clean, and ready for use. ATS turf integrates TURBOFLO™ drainage technology, allowing up to 30 inches of water per hour to flow through the backing. This prevents puddling and downtime after rain.
- Rapid Drainage: Keeps outdoor fields playable quickly after storms and prevents water buildup around training areas.
- Antimicrobial Infill: Pairing turf with Envirofill infill adds antimicrobial protection and odor control, making it ideal for gyms, indoor training facilities, and high-use sports complexes.
- Odor Resistance: Non-absorbing polyethylene fibers prevent sweat, spills, and pet odors from lingering.
- Easy Cleaning: Dust, chalk, and debris can be rinsed or brushed away. Indoor installations remain fresh and hygienic with minimal upkeep.
Warranty Protection and Long-Term Value
Investing in athletic turf is a long-term decision, and ATS ensures facilities see reliable returns with warranties and proven cost savings.
- 15-Year Standard Warranty on core models, including 50T, 69TS, 80TS, and ProPLAY Plus 90s
- Optional 10-Year Extended Warranty for additional coverage
- Manufacturer-Backed Guarantees ensure turf retains durability, fiber integrity, and consistent appearance
Proven ROI for Athletic Facilities
While natural grass and traditional flooring wear out quickly, ATS turf is built to last 15–20 years. Most facilities see the investment pay for itself in 3–5 years, thanks to reduced maintenance costs, lower water bills for outdoor fields, and decreased replacement frequency.
