Why Use a Shock Pad?

Shock pads are considered as one of the most important components of a complete artificial turf system. Shock pads, when combined with high-quality turf and non-compacting infills will add comfort to the user, prolong the life of the synthetic turf and add a layer of cushion during those backyard football games. In this post, we will highlight the main benefits that shock pads provide for landscape and playground turf systems.

Our Shock Pads improve playability and keep the Fall Height consistent.

Shock pads installed on a solid base make an artificial turf surface uniformly stable throughout the lawn or playground, regardless of temperature and weather conditions. Pads also provide a fall height consistency throughout the surface, allowing children to play with confidence. For more information on safe playground fall height standards. A well-designed system with pad, infill and turf make it possible for kids to enjoy the artificial turf right after a heavy rainstorm. This means children will have less reasons to stay indoors and more reasons to get off the couch and go have some fun!

Our Shock Pads Prevent Injury

Shock pads are made with safety in mind; they are made to absorb the shock of an impact, creating a safer surface for all types of play. When shock pads are a part of a turf system, impacts are reduced and the likelihood of concussion or a brain related injury is reduced. Turf and pad systems can reach critical fall heights up to fourteen feet.
