As climate change increasingly impacts outdoor sports, how are modern facilities adapting? The traditional approach to building sports infrastructure is rapidly becoming obsolete.
One of the major challenges with traditional synthetic turf is the use of black SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) infill. While excellent for shock absorption and ball roll, black rubber absorbs significant solar radiation, raising surface temperatures dramatically on sunny days.
The VBR Solution: We have transitioned our premium installations to utilize organic or light-colored TPE and EPDM infills. These materials do not retain heat to the same degree, keeping the playing surface up to 20°C cooler than traditional systems.
Natural grass football fields require millions of liters of water annually to maintain professional standards. In water-scarce regions across India, this is both economically and environmentally unsustainable.
Our 3rd Generation synthetic turf systems completely eliminate the need for irrigation while providing a surface that mirrors the biomechanical properties of natural grass.
