ShockPad

An optional ShockPad gives A-Turf systems the best safety rating, replicating perfectly-conditioned natural grass with the industry’s ideal G-Max rating for the life of the field.

ECORE’s prefabricated ShockPad provides superior consistency of density, thickness, and resilience. When used with a plush A-Turf system, it provides the most natural and playable shock absorption in the industry – over the life of the surface. It’s been in use in the United States and Europe for so many years that it is proving to have a 25+ year expected life so it can be reused when a new synthetic turf system is installed. It extends the turf life by reducing friction and wear, and gives the athletes the best protection and greatest ability to perform.

What Our Clients Say

You cannot believe the jaw-dropping looks we still get when people see our field. Our field doesn’t look like any other field. We’ve got the Titan with alternating panels. It really pops out at you. The Titan fits every need we could ever have. We love to show it off.

David Spiehler, Athletic Director
McQuaid Jesuit High School, Rochester, NY

When you’re standing on our field, you see way more fibers than infill — and that’s a big factor. The infill does not spray like it does in other fields — that’s important to consistent playability.

Terry Dow, Football Coach
SUNY Morrisville State College, Morrisville, NY

A-Turf has been a great company to work with from the design stage through installation, and now that the field has been in service for over six years I don’t believe that there is a better product on the market.

Tom Kessel, Director of Grounds
Flint Hill School, Oakton, VA

The more we compared A-Turf to other turf companies, the more we were convinced they are the best. Besides having the best turf system, they only take on about 50 fields a year so they can focus on customer satisfaction and not mass production. A-Turf’s 12-year warranty is 50% longer than everyone else’s.

Carlos Barquin, Athletic Director
Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, Miami, FL

We walked a number of different types of fields, and found A-Turf to be the best. My site visits were invaluable in helping me select a synthetic turf system and company. I recruit for a living and I would never want a kid to come and play for us without first coming to visit our college. The same can be said for selecting a field.

Lee Driggers, Former Coach
Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL

A-Turf was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with through the bidding, award and construction phases. As in any project, we had hurdles to overcome and can say that the team concept administered by all parties within A-Turf during field design and construction was second to none.
