Visitors to this
year’s BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition (BTME) will have the opportunity to get
their feet on the Mixto hybrid turf system.
idverde, the UK’s
exclusive supplier and installer of Mixto and a BALI Registered Contractor
member, is excited to bring the innovative sports surface to Europe’s leading
exhibition for turf professionals and buyers, with a stand featuring a mini
Mixto football pitch so that visitors can try it out for themselves.
Mixto is a
reinforced natural hybrid surface, consisting of a synthetic and a natural
grass component.
The added strength
from the artificial turf improves the durability of the pitch, with playing
time increased to around three times that of natural turf, and with no
noticeable change in surface performance to players.
The Mixto hybrid
turf system has recently been installed at Peterborough United FC (“The Posh”),
where it has received excellent feedback from the grounds team for its quality
and durability. The hybrid sports surface has also been chosen by some of the biggest
and best international clubs, including Real Madrid and A.C. Milan, as well as
2018 World Cup semi-final venue, Zenit Arena in St Petersburg.
But Mixto is not
just for sports fields. The system can be deployed wherever a hard-wearing
grass surface is paramount. It has applications in golf, parks and public
amenity areas. This year idverde has teamed up with Rigby Taylor, who will be
offering the Mixto system for small areas in the form of a self-install kit.
The self-install system is ideal for all areas where there is heavy footfall,
giving unprecedented levels of wearability.
Rigby Taylor will
also be offering exclusively a Mixto kit using our longer pile carpet,
specifically for areas of golf courses that are likely to wear in play. Rigby
Taylor “IN PLAY” once installed, behaves just like natural grass, allowing
golfers to take a divot with their shot whilst still providing all the
advantages of a hybrid gras surface.
