Indoor Artificial Turf

Artificial turf for indoor athletic fields

Sports arenas, stadiums, gyms, and schools across the nation are switching from real grass to artificial turf for their indoor athletic fields. Engineered with the highest-quality materials, our products can withstand the wear and tear of high-impact sports and training sessions.

An artificial sports turf system is a safer flooring option than natural grass, making it ideal for athletic use. Our synthetic turf will improve the overall quality of practice and is great for competitive athletes because of its soft landing surface.

Our main goals are player safety and product durability so you can train hard, all day long.

Artificial grass is easier to maintain than natural grass, saving you time, water, and money in the long run. Natural grass can cause allergies, skin irritations, and rashes, whereas synthetic grass is certified lead-free and won’t cause inflammation from allergies. Improve the safety, longevity, and aesthetics of your indoor field with the SportPRO Series.

Why switch to indoor turf

Synthetic grass is the perfect flooring material for indoor athletic areas – People are installing artificial athletic turf in their training areas because of its extreme durability and ability to withstand heavy impact. Not to mention, it is the safest solution on the market!

Rubber flooring damages quickly, pads can slip, and natural sod can trigger allergies. Artificial grass is soft-to-the-touch, padded to reduce impact and injuries, and won’t aggravate allergens. It is also a mud-free, slip-resistant zone.

Because synthetic athletic turf is built specifically for safety and durability, it can endure hours of training without any wear and tear. Your field will remain beautiful throughout impact and high foot traffic.

Synthetic indoor turf products

Our fleet of indoor sports turf ranges in pile height and color. With so many options at your disposal, you can select the one product or combination of products that best fits your unique project.

Our artificial grass blade heights range between 0.5” to 2”. Each of these heights will maintain a natural look, but you’ll be able to select the height that fits your preferences best. Shorter blades may be used for putting greens or indoor gyms while the taller blades are an excellent option for indoor soccer or football fields.

The SportPRO series comes in a variety of shades of green including a vibrant spring green with yellow undertones to a beautiful and rich olive tone. There are several colors of green along with tan thatching woven into the multi-colored yarn giving the highest quality appearance. We also have black turf that creates a super sleek look, perfect for an indoor gym.

Artificial grass vs. real grass

There are many pros and cons to both artificial turf and natural grass. Artificial grass products are made to look and feel like real grass without requiring all the maintenance, but some people say that synthetic turf looks and feels a bit stiff.

Installing turf is a monetary investment upfront. But, when you look at the long-term cost savings from installing artificial turf, it’s well worth it in the end!

Because synthetic grass is an extremely low-maintenance alternative to natural grass, it requires minimal water to maintain and no pesticides, mowing, or weeding. Plus, it will stay green throughout the whole year, no matter the seasonal or climate conditions, unlike natural grass.

Made with high-quality materials, our artificial turf products are durable and can withstand high impact from different activities such as football, soccer, lacrosse, agility training, CrossFit, and more.

Advantages and disadvantages of artificial turf

Pros to Artificial Turf for Indoor Athletic Fields:

• Safety – A safer option for athletes, our sports turf line offers a soft and forgiving feel that is easy on your joints to prevent injuries. With no holes, mud puddles, or dry patchy areas, turf fields offer an even playing surface to enhance your performance.
• Install it once and you’re done – No need to replant, reseed, or resod, just lightly maintain it over the next 20+ years.
• Easy to clean – A simple light hosing of messy areas and removal of debris is all that’s needed to keep your athletic turf looking fresh. Our products are antimicrobial which prevents odor and bacteria build up from sweat.
• Sustainable & eco-friendly – Because artificial turf doesn’t need watering or harsh chemicals in pesticides and fertilizers to stay green, it is an excellent alternative to natural grass, especially in drought-prone areas.
• Low maintenance – With no regular upkeep required, spend less time mowing, weeding, and watering your synthetic field, and more time training.
• Savings – Business and homeowners across the nation are saving money, time, and water that would be spent to upkeep their natural lawns with Artificial Turf Supply products.

Cons to Artificial Turf for Indoor Athletic Fields:

• Initial Cost of artificial turf installations – The artificial grass installation process is typically a larger upfront investment over real grass. But, this investment will save you money in the long run.
• Heat – Synthetic grass products can become warm to the touch if placed in direct sunlight, especially during the hotter months. To avoid this, we recommend shading or hosing down the area when experiencing warm weather. Our Envirofill infill is another easy way to keep the overall temperature of the turf as cool as possible.
• Odors – Just like a natural lawn, artificial grass can hold odors if it is not cleaned properly, particularly if you have pet turf or heavy duty athletic use. This can be easily prevented by quickly hosing off the turf area after your pet does its business, or there have been many athletes sweating on the field. For best practice, we recommend lightly cleaning your yard weekly.

Potential water savings with artificial grass

Installing an artificial turf field can save business owners and homeowners significant amounts of water, especially when compared to traditional landscaping. Natural grass lawns typically require copious amounts of water to grow and thrive.

An average sprinkler system in a typical field will use about 30+ gallons of water per minute for 30-35 minutes at least 3 days per week. The gallons of water add up quickly! When you switch to artificial grass, save over 50,000 gallons of water per year.

Artificial turf is a great grass alternative for any indoor sports field, especially in drought-prone and dry climates where it is important to conserve water. Some counties are choosing to limit residential sprinkler use to save precious natural resources.

Because fake grass products are made of high-quality synthetic materials that don’t lose color or texture from foot traffic and underwatering like natural grass can, fake grass will stay green even with these government regulated restrictions.

1. Sweep, rake, or brush the surface of the indoor field’s artificial grass to remove any unwanted dirt, debris, or fallen leaves.

3. With a hose, lightly water any dirty or high foot traffic areas. Make sure to hose off any areas that are especially high in foot traffic.
