Products & Services

• GrassMaster – stitched hybrid grass technology - GrassMaster is a 100 % natural grass pitch which is reinforced by 20 million polypropylene (PP) fibres. The fibres are injected 18 cm deep and 2 cm above the surface, approximately every 2 cm across the pitch. The ingenuity of the system lies both beneath and above the surface: the natural grass roots grow around the PP fibres, thus anchoring the field. The PP fibres above the surface ensure an always even and stable surface. The GrassMaster system offers a uniform and visually attractive surface with a proven lifespan of more than 15 years.
• PlayMaster – Lay & Play hybrid grass technology - With PlayMaster, launched in 2016, Tarkett Sports guarantees the ideal balance between natural and artificial grass. The carpet-based hybrid grass technology has been developed to meet the need for a quick installation and an instant operational availability by selecting the most qualitative components in reinforced turf sods. PlayMaster offers a high return on investment as it can be used for multipurpose stadiums like the Amsterdam ArenA.
