1. Multi-purpose surface

First and foremost, the Matchplay 2 synthetic surface is extremely versatile, making several sports accessible to users.

2. Extended play period

A major advantage of the Matchplay 2 surface is its porous, highly draining composition. In fact, its high porosity means it can be played on, whatever the weather. In fact, it took only 30 minutes after a rain shower for the pitch to return to its original appearance! What’s more, the unique structure of the Matchplay 2 mat means that it can be used as a skating rink during the winter, making the most of your investment. 4-season use of your system, to the delight of your users!

3. Easy maintenance and durability

This synthetic surface is vandal-resistant and easy to maintain. The sand that fills the fibers is the key; if you try to cut the surface with a knife, for example, it feels like you’re cutting through sand. It is also the element that protects it from fire damage. This makes it very difficult to cause damage. What’s more, in the event of extreme vandalism, the damaged section can be easily and cost-effectively replaced.

For maintenance, a simple general inspection and mechanical sweeping are required to optimize playing performance and maximize service life. What’s more, our team of experts offers an annual maintenance service! Discover our programs

4. User comfort

MatchPlay 2 was originally designed as a sandblasted tennis surface. Made for medium-slow play, it softens the impact on players’ leg joints . What’s more, the composition of the surface reduces heat islands, compared with asphalt or rubber, for example. So users can maximize their performance with maximum comfort and minimum risk of injury!
