CUSHDRAIN®

A revolutionary advancement in synthetic turf system foundations, CUSHDRAIN delivers optimized performance and playability to any synthetic turf field. Composed of pea gravel and recycled rubber granules, CUSHDRAIN creates an additional layer of safety and stability, consistent throughout multiple turf life cycles. Safety is further enhanced through our patented binding agent, helping to create a predictable playing surface every time your team steps on the field.

TRUER PLANARITYSingle-layer on-site installation binds CUSHDRAIN in place under the turf, retaining its true form and eradicating shifting of position over time.

FLEXIBLE & RESILIENTRemoval of air during the manufacturing process ensures that the layer will not compress or become brittle, maintaining original shock absorbency and flexibility.

MONEY SAVINGA lasting investment that lengthens the life of synthetic turf, by diffusing points of impact, and can remain in place for multiple turf life cycles.

RECYCLED MATERIALS 30-YEARS OF SAFETYManufactured from post-consumer recycled rubber, CUSHDRAIN assists in waste reduction making it an eco-friendly solution for any field.

The G-Max ratings for CUSHDRAIN remain relatively unchanged over the course of 30 years, creating a playing surface backed by lifetime of safety, stability, and predictability.

IMPROVED DRAINAGEA combination of rubber and pea gravel enables even distribution of water flow, perfect for quick and predictable drainage of up to 500” per hour.

SAFE AS NATURAL GRASSOur patented Matrix Turf system combined with a CUSHDRAIN foundation maintains a G-Max rating comparable to that of a pristine natural turf field. Any G-Max rating under 100 reduces the relative risk of concussion by 50%, when compared to the 160 G-Max rating of a generic turf system over a stone base. With an unwavering G-Max comparable to that of natural fields, Matrix Turf with CUSHDRAIN is your team’s best defense against concussions.

LIFETIME OF STABILITYWhile grass and soil wear down, harden, and become uneven over time, CUSHDRAIN remains bound into place providing the same amount of stability over its lifetime, as the day it was installed. CUSHDRAIN’s binder is specially formulated to offer long-lasting, resilient support, preventing shifting or compaction over time by distributing impact points evenly throughout your field.

SUPERIOR FOOTINGShock absorption isn’t the only quality factored into creating a safe and reliable field. Our focus on combining the right consistency of shock absorption and vertical deformation makes every Matrix Turf field with a CUSHDRAIN foundation fully responsive to each unique player’s needs. A vertical deformation range of 4-8mm is set by the Synthetic Turf Council as the ideal benchmark for a safe and superior quality playing surface.
