Artificial Turf Surfaces                                                       The development of Astroturf

Kestrel construct, supply and install synthetic turf surfaces from 3rd Generation artificial turf, infilled with recycled rubber and sand to sand dressed hockey and tennis carpets through to sand surfaces suitable for pretty much any sport to a recreational level.          

There have been major advancements in artificial sports turf technology, which have led to football & rugby authorities endorsing the use of artifcial 3rd Generation surfaces.

3rd Generation synthetic sports turf surfaces, commonly known as artificial turf or astro turf, have gained a reputation as a poor substitute to natural sports turf, receiving criticism for their inconsistent ball bounce and increased risk of player injuries and abrasions.

The latest third Generation rubber crumb & sand filled artificial sports turf surfaces have eliminated such limitations & provide a true replicant of the best quality natural turf. Meaning.. No more harsh artificial turf burns!
