Re-Cover

REINVENTING FIELD REPLACEMENT

Instead of removing and disposing your aged field, FieldTurf Re-Cover, a patent pending process, installs your new field on top of the existing surface. The system doesn’t compromise on safety, performance or drainage. In fact, the field being covered becomes a built-in shock pad, helping to reduce the field GMAX and acting like a high-performance e-layer.

RECOVER YOUR INVESTMENT

You invested a significant amount in your initial field, so why throw away the investment? The fibers might appear worn, but the infill still has tremendous shock absorption properties. Our application helps repurpose your field and reduce costs for your program. Don’t work harder, work smarter.

WITHOUT SACRIFICING PERFORMANCE

The existing field in Re-Cover acts similarly to an elastic layer, a leading underlayment solution. Both are composed in large part of SBR Rubber and range in similar system thickness. A standard high-performance elastic layer is usually between 20 – 25mm in thickness, while a standard aged high performance turf system will have between 35 – 40mm of infill. Re-Cover allows you to repurpose your existing field to help your new surface perform.

How does it work?

1. Field Inspection

To start, FieldTurf experts perform a full facility inspection to warrant that your surface meets the Re-Cover qualifications. Ensuring proper drainage, planarity, and curb design is key to preparing your field for Re-Cover. An initial site visit is conducted by a FIeldTurf technician for pre-approval and a second visit is conducted by an independent laboratory to ensure that the field is fit for Re-Cover.

2. Existing Field is Leveled

To allow for consistent footing, ball-to-surface interaction and performance on Re-Cover, the existing field is carefully leveled to ensure planarity. A surfactant is then applied to the existing infill to lower surface tension and aid in reducing long-term compaction.

3. New Field is Laid

Once the existing surface is prepared, the new field is installed following the same procedure as a standard installation.

4. Edging is Adjusted

To ensure your Re-Cover field meets with your curb correctly, the infill of the existing field is tapered to allow for a natural slope. Then the Re-Cover carpet is attached to the nailer board and infilled, completing the edging adjustment.
