If your field is located in a region of regular snow fall, the possibility to have a heated sportsfield could be the solution. Schmitz Foam Products developed a special shock pad in which ribbons for electrical heating or pipes for liquid heating can be perfectly incorporated.
In regions where cold winters and heavy snowfall are the norm, keeping your field playable can be a real challenge. That’s why we developed ProPlay-HP40li and ProPlay-HP23el – advanced shock pads designed to integrate seamlessly with heating systems.
With field heating in place, snow can melt away efficiently, revealing the field’s game lines and keeping the surface clear. More importantly, when temperatures drop below freezing, these shock pads help maintain the field’s elasticity and impact performance, which can otherwise be compromised by the cold.
And if that is not enough due to these pads’ excellent insulation capabilities, heat and energy will benefit the surface instead of getting lost into the base. If desired, even horizontal drainage is possible with these shock pads.
The ProPlay-HP40li (where ‘li’ stands for liquid)and ProPlay-HP23el (where ‘el’ stands for electrical) are developed to incorporate heating elements, whether it is a pipe for a liquid heating system for which our ProPlay-HP40li is developed, or a ribbon for an electrical heating system for which our ProPlay-HP23el is developed. Both types of shock pads are delivered as rolls that are customized to the specific width of the field.
