Power Brushing

An artificial sports surface power brushing service uses specialised equipment to groom and maintain synthetic turf by employing power brushes or similar attachments. This process helps to restore the turf fibres to an upright position, redistribute infill material, and maintain optimal performance.

Here’s an overview of what a typical power brushing service for artificial sports surfaces might involve:

Assessment:

Professionals assess the condition of the artificial sports surface to determine if it’s due for a power brushing service.

Equipment Selection:

Specialised power brushing equipment is selected based on the type of artificial turf, the infill material used, and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Power Brushing Process:

  • The power brushing equipment, equipped with rotating brushes, is systematically moved across the surface to lift and restore the turf fibres.
  • The brushes help redistribute the infill material, preventing compaction and enhancing the playability of the surface.

Frequency:

The frequency of power brushing depends on factors such as the intensity of use, the type of sports played, and the manufacturer’s guidelines. It’s often included in routine maintenance schedules.

Quality Check:

After the power brushing, the surface is inspected to ensure that the turf fibres are upright and the infill material is evenly distributed.
