Best fit:
Projects prioritizing long-term performance, recyclability, and controlled material composition.
How to Choose the Right Infill for Your Football Pitch
When selecting between SBR, EPDM, and TPE, consider the following factors:
Budget constraints
Usage intensity (hours per week)
Player comfort and injury risk profile
Environmental requirements or public perception
Local climate and heat considerations
Project lifespan and maintenance strategy
There is no universal “best” infill—only the most appropriate option for a specific project context.
