Shock pads improve the playing characteristics of artificial turf by increasing surface elasticity and shock absorption, reducing stress on players’ musculoskeletal system, and stabilizing playing performance. They are mainly used for football pitches and playgrounds.
Types of shock pads by installation method:
- shock pads installed directly on-site (in-situ pads) using a paver
- prefabricated shock pads delivered to site and then installed (in panels or rolls)
