Every sports facility has a distinct role to fulfill, whether it is fostering grassroots sport or offering recreational play for local communities. This is why it is crucial to understand which surfacing solution best suits your needs.
At Poly UP, we operate in a variety of environments, assisting clients in specifying and installing the safest, most durable sports surfaces available. From football pitches to playground areas, we ensure each surface is tailored to meet the unique needs of each facility.
Facility Types & Ideal Surfacing Options
1. Football Pitches
For consistent play in all conditions, 4G artificial turf provides unparalleled performance. Designed for optimal ball roll, shock absorption, and weather resistance, it’s ideal for football pitches and ensures top-quality gameplay year-round.
2. Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs)
MUGAs accommodate a range of sports, including netball, tennis, and basketball. EPDM rubber surfacing facilitates custom line marking and colour coding while providing excellent traction and safety. This versatile surface ensures the durability needed for multi-sport environments.
3. Playground and Recreational Areas
Rubber mulch and bonded rubber crumb provide soft, durable, and naturally appealing surfaces, ideal for areas used by young children. These materials meet critical fall height standards and prioritise safety and impact absorption in playground settings.
4. Pathways & Surrounds
For access routes, commercial courtyards, or transition zones, resin-bound surfacing provides a professional finish with excellent low-slip performance. Whether it’s for a sports facility or a public park, these pathways offer safety and visual appeal.
5. Gym & Indoor Zones
We also provide guidance on indoor rubber floor tiles and hybrid systems suitable for weight rooms, rehabilitation spaces, and high-impact areas. These surfaces are designed to withstand the demands of busy, heavy-use environments.
Why does this matter?
Inappropriate sports surfaces can increase the risk of injury or result in regulatory complications. With Poly UP’s expertise and product offerings, we ensure that every square meter of your space fulfills its purpose, combining safety, performance, and compliance.
