Infill: silica sand and SBR.

Rounded silica sand in 50 kg bags and SBR rubber granules in 35 kg bags, the two layers under every infill pitch. Quantities computed from your area and system, shipped with the turf or on their own.

Two layers, two jobs. Silica sand goes in first: it ballasts the carpet, holds the fibres upright and forms the base of the infill. SBR rubber goes on top: it gives the cushioning, the ball behaviour and the shock absorption the FIFA test measures. Get the depths wrong and the pitch plays wrong, whatever the turf cost.

How much you need.

Depth depends on the system: a 50 mm football turf typically takes 15 to 18 kg of sand and 8 to 10 kg of rubber per sq m; a 35 mm hybrid takes sand only, dressed. We compute the tonnage from your area and system with every quotation, and we supply infill on its own for top-ups and for grounds we did not build. Infill sits at ₹10 to ₹30 per sq ft installed.

Questions, asked often.

Can I buy infill without turf?

Yes. Top-ups are the most common infill order. Tell us the area and the system and we ship the tonnage.

Is SBR safe?

SBR is the standard infill on FIFA-tested systems worldwide. Where a client prefers a non-rubber system we specify sand-dressed hybrid or non-infill turf instead.

Why rounded sand?

Angular sand locks up and abrades the fibre. Rounded grain stays free-draining and brushes evenly.

Where are you based and where do you deliver?
