Cruyff Foundation and TenCate extend partnership

 During the opening of Cruyff Court Class ’92 in Salford (UK), the Johan Cruyff Foundation and TenCate announced the extension of their partnership by three years. The synergy between the missions of the two organizations makes them perfect partners. The Cruyff Foundation supports and develops sports activities for children worldwide, which matches perfectly with our ambition to create as many playing fields as possible for children to meet one another, be active and stay healthy.

The Cruyff Foundation and TenCate have been jointly realizing such playing fields for more than twenty years. The artificial grass used is safe, durable and will last for years. And can be accessed in any kind of weather, come rain or shine. Allowing children to play at all times and in any weather conditions, such as extreme dryness or after heavy rainfall.

The past years, TenCate and the Cruyff Foundation have jointly realized 227 Cruyff Courts in more than 20 countries. And with the partnership being extended, 70 more fields will be built in the coming three years.  Allowing even more children to play sports and live a healthier and happier life.

Watch what Niels Meijer, Director of the Cruyff Foundation, and Vincent Homrighausen, Managing Director Downstream EMEA at TenCate, say about the partnership.

Why good drainage is essential for synthetic grass:

 Prevents water buildup: Efficient drainage prevents water from accumulating on the surface, which can cause problems like waterlogged areas, puddling, and flooding. Reduces maintenance: Proper drainage reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance of the synthetic turf. Standing water can create an environment for mold, algae, and bacteria growth, which would require more extensive cleaning. Increases longevity: Synthetic grass that has excellent drainage can last longer because it’s less susceptible to damage caused by water exposure. Waterlogged turf can deteriorate over time, reducing its overall lifespan. Enhances usability: A well-drained synthetic grass surface remains usable even after heavy rain, making it suitable for various activities and sports in different weather conditions. Eco-friendly: Proper drainage ensures that rainwater is effectively absorbed into the soil or directed towards appropriate drainage systems rather than becoming runoff, which could carry...

Types Of Artificial Grass Infill

 What is artificial grass infill? Synthetic turf infill is a material used to provide stability, support, and certain playing characteristics to artificial grass installations. It is typically spread over the turf’s backing and in between the grass fibers to create a stable surface. Different types of infill materials are available, each with its specific uses and benefits.

Here are the key advantages of using artificial turf in such areas

 1. Water Conservation: Artificial turf doesn’t require watering, unlike natural grass. This is the most significant advantage in drought-prone regions, as it directly helps conserve significant amounts of water that would otherwise be used for irrigation. 2. Reduced Maintenance Water Needs: Artificial turf needs minimal maintenance water compared to natural grass. While occasional rinsing might be required to clean the turf, it’s far less water-intensive than regular watering of a grass lawn. 3. Year-Round Green Appearance: Artificial turf maintains a lush green appearance regardless of the season or weather conditions. Natural grass often turns brown during droughts or water restrictions, leading to an unsightly appearance. 4. No Need for Fertilizers and Pesticides: Natural grass requires fertilizers and pesticides to stay healthy. Artificial turf eliminates the need for these chemicals, which can potentially contaminate water sources during runoff. 5. Consistent Water Bill Savin...
