A 50 mm pile designed for a bouncing, rolling football produces the wrong ball behavior entirely for hockey \u2014 the ball would sink into the fiber, slow down, and bounce unpredictably off the tall pile. Hockey needs a short, dense, firm surface that keeps the ball on top.<\/p> <p>The FIH Quality Programme defines three categories: FIH Global (elite, traditionally water-based), FIH National (club and national level, typically sand-dressed) and FIH Multi-Sport (community dual-use). Sand-dressed turf sits at the heart of the National and Multi-Sport categories, offering fast play without the water costs that irrigated systems require.<\/p> <p>The 25 mm pile height, combined with sand filling to 60\u201370% of the fiber depth, creates a surface where the ball runs fast, stick-work stays clean, and the pitch is playable without irrigation infrastructure. FIH is actively developing dry (non-irrigated) turf standards, and sand-dressed systems align with that trajectory.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"rg-narrative-col\"> <p>Shock pad underlay is standard beneath hockey turf \u2014 the short pile alone does not provide sufficient impact absorption for goalkeeper dives and outfield slides. The pad also contributes to surface evenness and ball-rebound consistency, both of which FIH testing evaluates.<\/p> <div class=\"rg-pullquote\"> Sand-dressed hockey turf is the practical choice for clubs and schools that want fast play without the water infrastructure and ongoing irrigation costs of water-based Global-category systems. <\/div> <p>For projects targeting FIH National or Multi-Sport certification, Relyir supplies the turf product with full specification documentation and works with your testing laboratory through the certification process.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rg-section-cta\"> <a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"\/contact-us\/\">Request Technical Datasheets<\/a> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- ===== FACTORY DIRECT + 8-STEP PROCESS ===== -->\n<section class=\"rg-factory\"> <div class=\"container-xl\"> <div class=\"section-heading\"> <p class=\"eyebrow\">Factory Direct<\/p> <h2>Eight Production Steps Under One Roof<\/h2> <p class=\"lead\">Relyir has manufactured artificial grass since 2006.

Each step up raises both performance and budget.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Can one pitch serve hockey and other sports?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Yes, with compromises. Hockey needs the shortest, densest pile, so shared pitches are usually specified around hockey first; the surface then serves training-level soccer and other field use comfortably.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Why can&#8217;t we use 50 mm football turf for hockey?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Hockey requires a short, dense pile where the ball rolls on top of the surface. A 50 mm pile lets the ball sink into the fibers, slowing it down and creating unpredictable bounce. FIH testing evaluates ball roll speed and surface friction \u2014 values that a 50 mm system cannot achieve. Sand-dressed 25 mm turf is designed specifically for hockey&#8217;s ball behavior requirements.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>What is the difference between water-based and sand-dressed hockey turf?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Water-based turf (FIH Global) uses very dense, short fibers with no sand infill, played wet for the fastest ball speed and lowest friction. Sand-dressed turf (FIH National) uses sand to support fibers for part of the pile depth, offering fast play without irrigation infrastructure. Sand-dressed is the practical choice for clubs and schools with limited water budgets.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Is a shock pad required for hockey turf?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Yes, shock pad underlay is standard beneath hockey turf. The short 25 mm pile alone does not provide sufficient impact absorption for goalkeeper dives and outfield slides. The pad also contributes to ball-rebound consistency and surface evenness, both evaluated in FIH testing.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Can hockey turf be used for other sports?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Sand-dressed hockey turf can serve as a multi-sport surface under the FIH Multi-Sport category \u2014 suitable for training-level hockey, tennis, and general community use. However, it is not suitable for football, rugby or other 50 mm pile sports. The intended use should drive the specification.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>What roll sizes and customizations are available?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Our 15 mm sand-dressed court systems (Youth Curly 1525, Quest KDK 1525) ship in rolls of 4 \u00d7 25 m or 2 \u00d7 50 m with a maximum width of 5 m. White line tufting and custom colorways are available on request. We adjust sand fill levels and provide installation guidance matched to your project&#8217;s FIH category target.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>What maintenance does a sand-dressed hockey pitch need?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Regular brushing to keep sand level and fibers upright, periodic sand redistribution from edges to center, and surface cleaning to prevent algae or moss growth in damp climates. Relyir provides maintenance guidance with every installation package so the pitch maintains consistent ball speed through its service life.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Do you provide free samples before we order?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Yes.
