How to Choose Fiber Structure for Different Applications

Professional Football Fields

Consider:

• Reinforced S-shaped or hollow-profile fibers
• Straight + curly fiber construction
• Approximately 35–50 mm pile height
• Sports-grade Dtex
• Appropriate stitch density
• Strong tuft bind and backing
• Verified ball interaction and player-surface performance

For professional installations, FIFA certification or an equivalent project-specific performance evaluation can provide stronger evidence than fiber specifications alone.

School Sports Fields

A balanced configuration is usually more practical.

Consider:

• S-shaped or C-shaped fibers
• Balanced straight/curly configuration
• Approximately 25–35 mm pile height
• Around 9,000–13,000 Dtex as a potential design range
• Approximately 18,000–22,000 stitches/m² as a possible starting range

Safety, shock absorption, slip resistance, drainage, emissions, and durability should all be evaluated as part of the complete system.

Residential Landscaping

A simpler fiber construction may be sufficient.

Consider:

• 20–35 mm pile height
• Moderate Dtex
• Good UV resistance
• Good drainage
• Soft hand feel
• Easy cleaning

For gardens, balconies, terraces, and decorative areas, maximizing sports-grade parameters may add unnecessary cost.

High-Traffic Recreational Facilities

A stronger fiber construction may be appropriate.

Consider:

• Reinforced asymmetric fiber profiles
• Straight + curly fiber combinations
• Higher abrasion resistance
• Strong tuft bind
• UV/weathering resistance
• Appropriate stitch density
