Curb planks

On artificial turf pitches, spreading material may end up outside the field—for example via players, maintenance machines, rainwater or wind. Curb planks help to limit this spread and contribute to keeping infill within the pitch construction.

In this way, curb planks help sports parks take preventive measures around infill retention and counter the spread of microplastics. This makes them an important part of a future-proof artificial turf facility.

The GreenMatter curb planks are made from recycled artificial turf fibres from old artificial turf pitches. This means that materials that were previously on the sports pitch are given a new application around the same sports pitch. This aligns well with the circular ambitions of municipalities, sports companies and clubs.

With recycled curb planks, you choose a solution that is not only functional, but also contributes to the responsible processing and reuse of materials from worn artificial turf pitches. This extends the service life of these raw materials.

Curb planks can be applied to different types of sports pitches. At football and hockey pitches, they are often used to keep spreading material inside the field. They can also play a role in finishing and delimiting the court at tennis courts.

The correct implementation depends on the sport, the pitch build-up, the desired height and the situation on site. That’s why it’s important to look at the application of curb planks at an early stage for new construction, renovation or maintenance of sports pitches.

Curb planks are available in different sizes and heights. Depending on the pitch and the desired function, the right height, thickness and implementation can be considered. Curb planks can also be combined with additional provisions, such as a rubber strip to further limit spread under the plank.

W&H is happy to think along with you about the right implementation, so that the curb planks align with the technical situation and the use of the sports pitch.

Proper installation is important for the performance and service life of curb planks. The planks must be placed firmly and connect well to each other. The way curb planks are connected and installed depends on the implementation, subbase and pitch situation.

We can play a role in the installation or provide advice on it. In doing so, we look at the existing pitch build-up, the edge finishing and the practical feasibility on site.

The GreenMatter products have been developed from the mission to responsibly recycle materials from old artificial turf pitches into new products for the sports environment. The products meet relevant quality, environmental and safety certifications, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

For clients who consciously choose circular sports products, this provides additional certainty about the quality, origin and application of the material.

For new construction, renovation or replacement of curb planks, a site visit can be valuable. This way, the situation along the pitch can be assessed properly and targeted advice can be provided on the right solution.

W&H is happy to think along with municipalities, clubs, contractors and sports companies. By looking into it early in the process, curb planks can be taken into account well in the design, scheduling and execution.

Kerb boards help keep infill, fibres and microplastics within the artificial turf pitch as much as possible. This contributes to retaining infill, a neat edge to the field and limiting spread beyond the pitch.

The GreenMatter kerb boards are made from recycled artificial turf fibres from old artificial turf pitches. This way, you combine a functional solution for retaining infill with a circular material choice.

Yes, kerb boards are available in different sizes and heights. The right version depends on the type of pitch, the desired performance and the situation on location.

The way kerb boards are connected to each other depends on the chosen version and the situation on location. W&H can advise and think along with you about a neat and solid connection.

The GreenMatter kerb boards are produced through the GreenMatter initiative, in which artificial turf fibres from old artificial turf pitches are recycled into new products for on and around sports fields. In addition, the products meet relevant quality, environmental and safety certifications.

Kerb boards are suitable for, among other things, football pitches, hockey pitches, tennis courts and other artificial turf pitches where retaining infill and a neat pitch finish are important.

Yes, kerb boards can be used in both new builds and the renovation of sports fields. For existing pitches, the current pitch edge, subbase and placement options are assessed.
