Which UWIN Surface System Is Used for Cricket Pitches?

UWIN Floortech utilizes Sand-Based Artificial Grass for all cricket practice pitch and net lane applications. This system is chosen for its rapid drainage, extreme durability under repetitive wear, and all-weather usability.

Unlike rubber-crumb infill systems that are primarily engineered for professional contact football, our sand-based artificial grass uses precision-graded silica sand. This distinction is critical for the Indian climate. Silica sand does not build up intense radiant heat during summer practice sessions, making it highly suitable for cricket academies and schools.

The combination of high-density, UV-treated synthetic fibres and a packed sand infill creates a stable, low-maintenance surface. It requires no watering, mowing, or fertilising - only periodic manual brushing to redistribute the sand over high-wear batting and bowling creases.

Sand-Based Artificial Grass Construction

Our cricket pitch system is built on a four-layer foundation: a highly compacted sub-base, an optional shock pad for impact reduction, a dense synthetic fibre layer, and precision-graded silica sand infill.

Four-Layer Turf System

The structural foundation of our cricket pitch is a concrete or compacted sub-base engineered with a 1% minimum drainage slope. An optional EPDM or foam shock pad can be installed for additional player comfort and impact reduction.

The surface features a synthetic grass layer made of high-density PE or PP fibres manufactured for UV resistance and extreme tear strength. Finally, precision-graded silica sand is brushed deep into the pile to maintain upright fibres and controlled traction.

Technical Specifications

UWIN Floortech specifies exact material densities and structural gradients to ensure longevity under intense repetitive practice loads.

Material CompositionPolyethylene (PE) or Polypropylene (PP) synthetic fibres + Silica Sand
Standard Pitch Dimensions22 Yards (20.12m) Length × 10ft (3.05m) Width
UV StabilityUV-treated fibres - colour retention in Indian outdoor conditions
DrainageRapid vertical drainage through backing perforations - playable shortly after heavy rain
Player ComfortSoft fibres + sand infill reduce muscle fatigue and joint impact
All-Weather UsabilityPlayable year-round - no rain delays

Sub-Base Requirements

The longevity of an artificial cricket pitch depends entirely on the structural integrity of its sub-base. Soft earth or uneven grass is strictly unsuitable.

Concrete SlabMinimum M20 grade, heavily reinforced, minimum 100mm thickness. Ideal for permanent practice nets.
Compacted AggregateMulti-layer compacted stone dust and aggregate for semi-permanent or large-area installations.
Slope RequirementStrict 1% uniform slope to facilitate rapid surface drainage.
Surface ToleranceMust be perfectly flat and leveled prior to turf unrolling to prevent seam separation.

Pricing & Installation Process

By manufacturing and sourcing materials directly, UWIN Floortech bypasses trading middlemen. This ensures strict quality control and delivers manufacturer-direct pricing to our institutional clients.

Step 1: Site Assessment

Our engineers evaluate your proposed location, checking sub-base compaction, drainage slopes, and overall site readiness for pitch installation.

Step 2: Specification & Proposal

We provide a detailed bill of materials outlining the exact turf density, pile height, and silica sand requirements for your practice lanes.

Step 3: Installation & Handover

Our trained crews unroll the turf, secure the seams, and mechanically brush in the silica sand infill for immediate all-weather playability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What surface does UWIN use for artificial cricket pitches?

We use our Sand-Based Artificial Grass (Product Line 6) system. It features a concrete or compacted sub-base, an optional shock pad, high-density synthetic grass fibres, and precision-graded silica sand infill for controlled traction and durability.

Is sand-based artificial grass suitable for cricket practice nets as well as pitches?

Yes, our sand-based artificial grass can be applied to both dedicated pitch strips and enclosed practice net lanes, subject to site assessment.

What sub-base does an artificial cricket pitch need?

An artificial cricket pitch requires a highly compacted, flat sub-base, typically concrete or compacted stone aggregate. The base must have a minimum 1% slope to ensure rapid water drainage, and may include an optional shock pad for impact reduction.

Does UWIN's cricket surface carry BCCI or association certification?

UWIN Floortech does not currently hold or claim any BCCI, ICC, or state cricket association certification for this surface. It is engineered for durable, low-maintenance recreational and practice play.
