Hybrid carpet system: discover how it works

What is meant by a hybrid carpet system?

When it comes to sports surfaces, the choice always seems to come down to natural or synthetic grass. In reality, a more advanced alternative exists: the hybrid carpet system.

Unlike synthetic pitches, this solution retains the characteristics of natural grass, combining them with the strength and durability of synthetic fibres. This innovative approach doesn't just improve playability — it also enhances the pitch's aesthetics and helps extend its lifespan.

How does it work?

The hybrid carpet system is a type of playing surface built using a synthetic carpet base, which is "interwoven" with natural grass. The turf is produced in specialised nurseries, with every stage carefully controlled. Once the synthetic carpet is installed, seeding takes place.

During growth, root development is encouraged, interlacing with the artificial carpet structure beneath. This solution delivers a more stable, compact surface, better able to withstand frequent use. It also makes the surface more uniform, reducing the risk of deformation or damaged areas.

The end result is a pitch that retains the characteristics of natural grass, but with significantly greater wear resistance.

Hybrid carpet system: benefits

Adopting a hybrid carpet system brings several advantages for sports and professional facilities.

Thanks to the support of synthetic fibres, the turf is far more resistant than a traditional natural pitch. This makes it ideal for pitches subject to frequent use.

This greater resistance delivers concrete benefits, including:

• High durability: carpet systems drastically reduce pitch wear, allowing for extended playing hours compared to a natural pitch.                                     
• Better playing quality: the surface of this solution is more uniform and stable, ensuring high playing quality and greater safety for athletes.             
• Maintenance: despite the specific care it requires, turf recovery management is faster compared to a natural pitch.                                      
• Optimal drainage: its underlying carpet structure allows for rapid water evacuation, keeping the pitch performing well even in rain.

Why choose it?

The hybrid carpet system, particularly suited to sports centres or high-intensity-use pitches, is the ideal choice for combining the quality of natural grass with the resistance of synthetic carpet.

This solution offers the perfect balance of comfort, durability and performance quality — a decisive choice for anyone seeking a playing surface that meets the highest standards.

It's important to bear in mind, however, that it requires accurate design and specialised maintenance to guarantee optimal performance over time.
