Artificial Surfaces
Artificial Surfaces
The Radford Ezy Net Limited system of synthetic surface, artificial surface or astro turf surfaces for sports provide the opportunity for schools, local authorities, sports clubs and other organisations to benefit from a safe, slip resistant yet responsive playing surface that can be used virtually all the year round and almost immediately after heavy rainfall.
For affordable, bespoke, multi-sport playing surfaces the solution is the Ezy Net Dynamic Playing Surface
The materials we use are highly resistant to weathering and the effects of UV radiation. Each play area is individually designed and constructed according to the site conditions established during a survey and to the client’s budgetary and safety requirements.
Radford Ezy Net surfaces ensure sustainable shock absorption characteristics. The synthetic surface, artificial surface or astro turf will maintain even levels and resist movement in the playing surface. The provide the ideal playing characteristics under a very wide range of temperature and humidity conditions
Synthetic Multi-Play Surface
Impact response and stability tests have been carried out that confirm relevant standards are achieved. The method of construction can be either an engineered tarmac or a dynamic sub base of clean graded stone, this is additionally supported by strong geotextile separators thus preventing the infiltration of fines into the sub-base which can lead to the distortion of the level profile.
A suitable sports carpet is laid on top of our shock pad and drainage layer (a 3-dimensional core bonded between two non-woven geotextives). Site conditions will always determine the appropriate materials to be used in each project. A full range of technical specifications and test results are available for all our products. We offer the complete service from planning through to commissioning using our own approved contractors.
Canvas Covers
Protect the metal storage boxes from the elements and stop vandalism: Radford Ezy Net offers a waterproof canvas bag to cover the boxes. These slip over the boxes and have eyelets at the base to lock off. Please make contact should you be interested in the products.

PliFix Synthetic Grass
What is Plifix?
PliFix is a synthetic grass implant used for marking and locating various items and measurements. Once set into the ground, PliFix helps to indicate buried objects (tanks, irrigation systems and cables), show ground hazards and mark out building sites, camp sites etc.
When used on sports areas they provide an ideal may to mark positions on the playing surface with Plifix clearly visible in the grass. Due to their design, Plifix can either be left in the ground permanently or moved as and when required. PliFix provide an excellent way for groundsman to mark areas and were even used on the pitches at the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France.
How does Plifix Work?
PliFix is available in a number of different colours. This allows you to use different coloured markers in order to mark different types of objects. For example red can be used to mark electricity cables, blue water pipes and sprinklers and white to mark lines for sports pitches.
PliFix markers are placed in the ground to a pre-determined depth so that their coloured synthetic grass tops remain visible. When the grass is next cut these also get trimmed to the correct level. This means that although still clearly visible they remain equal with the length of the grass.
How can PliFix be used?
- On sports fields to mark out areas of play
- To mark underground pipework, irrigation systems and cable routes
- To clearly display borders and boundaries such as on building sites
- Different colour options allow you to clearly differentiate between different types of markers. For example white for field markings, blue for sprinkler heads or red for electricity.
RubaFlex
What is Rubaflex?
Rubaflex is a seamless insitu laid porous wetpour rubber safety surface, ideal for playgrounds and smaller sports areas. The surface constructed of EPDM rubber granules offers considerably higher wear characteristics than reclaimed SBR rubber.
With a wide range of colours available the construction of attractive patterns and logos is possible, giving added play value and interest.
Composition
Use of only quality rubbers and binders, combined with experienced installers using tried and tested methods, ensures a quality, lasting product. Rubaflex can be laid directly onto new or existing bitmac or concrete surfaces or at depths over 40 mm onto compacted MOT Type 1.
Ramped edges can be formed down to existing levels where necessary. With a range of thicknesses from 15 mm various Critical Fall Heights to suit the equipment or use are available.
Benefits
- Safe impact characteristics with optimum ball response
- Reduced physical stress on players and officials
- Excellent grip and playing characteristics
- Surface stability in all weather conditions
- Construction to recognised governing body standards
- Long life with minimum maintenance costs
GrassFlex
What is GrassFlex?
This versatile and attractive surface provides an economic alternative to conventional rubber tiles or wetpour. The soft and springy feel is friendly and inviting and has proved to be of added play value in itself.
It comprises one or more layers of recycled impact absorbing polyethylene foam matting, covered by a sandfilled artificial grass carpet. The matting is made of waste, polyethylene foam, which is chipped and heat bonded (no adhesives) to form a durable, free draining and highly effective impact absorbing material.
The foam’s closed cell construction utilises trapped cells of air to produce a springy, cushioned surface which does not compress, even after prolong.
Sandfilled Artificial Grass Surfaces
Artificial Grass
The sandfilled artificial grass surface is hard wearing, resistant to cutting and burning (classified as low radius of ignition according to BS 4790) non-slip and is both attractive and natural looking.
Alternative colours and patterns are available if required. The flexible nature of the materials enables it to be installed to suit the natural contours of the surrounding areas. The versatility of the system enables the formation of traditional playgrounds, small kickabout, or general play areas (without equipment) with no need for a base. (subject to suitable ground conditions).
Maintenance involves sweeping to keep clear of debris and dirt, (hosing down if preferred) and topping up with silver sand annually. Repairs can be undertaken quickly and easily should they be necessary.
