To discover how Sherratt can manage your sports turf requirements:
The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) provides comprehensive guidelines and conducts tests on facilities to ensure they meet the required standards of football turf. Sherratt Group Ltd, over many years, has developed an intimate understanding of the requirements and works with clients to meet and maintain the required standards.
Background:
Artificial turf has been around since the 1960s, used with varying degrees of success and intensity. The suitability of unfilled or sand-filled artificial systems has always been a matter of debate. It was only with the introduction of third–generation (3G) turf systems, including sand and rubber infill, that the surface became a true alternative
It was in this context that FIFA recognised the potential of artificial turf for the further development of football. Due to its resistance to weather and more intense use, it is the best alternative to natural grass. However, there are huge differences in terms of quality between the various systems of third-generation surfaces that are available on the market.
Only artificial playing surfaces, which have been tested in the laboratory and on the field according to the stringent testing criteria of the FIFA Quality Programme, can be called football turf. This name means that these systems fulfil the quality requirements necessary for football in terms of playing performance, safety, durability and quality assurance.
To identify football turf pitches, FIFA awards the FIFA QUALITY mark to pitches that meet the standard for community and amateur pitches, and the FIFA QUALITY PRO mark to pitches that ensure the highest playing performance for professional-level football.
