The Slit Shock Pad is a closed-cell foam underlay built for artificial turf fields. It uses a slit-cutting process combined with a PET non-woven fabric backing, giving it a structure suited for drainage and stability under turf systems.
The closed-cell bubble structure limits water absorption, which helps the pad hold its performance across different weather conditions. The slit-cut channels are designed to move water horizontally through the pad rather than letting it pool, which supports faster field drainage after rain.
This pad is intended as a drainage-oriented alternative for turf projects where water management at the underlay level is a priority.

The slit-cut channels allow water to move horizontally through the pad. This supports field drainage and helps prevent water from sitting under the turf surface.
The closed-cell bubble structure resists water absorption into the foam itself. This keeps the pad's weight and performance stable even after repeated exposure to rain.
The PET backing layer adds structure to the pad and works alongside the drainage channels to support consistent water flow and pad stability.
The pad's lightweight construction makes rolls easier to handle and position on site, which helps keep installation timelines shorter on larger field projects.
The pad is designed to compensate for expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations, helping it hold its shape and position across seasonal changes.
The closed-cell structure and slit-cut design support structural integrity under load, contributing to long-term durability in outdoor field conditions.
The Slit Shock Pad is designed for use under artificial turf systems, including:
The slit-cut channels are designed specifically for horizontal drainage, which is not a standard feature of plain foam shock pads. Combined with the closed-cell structure and PET backing, it targets water management at the underlay level.
The closed-cell bubble structure is designed to limit water absorption. Water is intended to pass through the slit-cut drainage channels rather than being absorbed into the foam.
The pad is designed to compensate for expansion and contraction from temperature fluctuations, supporting dimensional stability across seasonal conditions.
Yes. The product complies with EN15330, which covers requirements for compressive strength, bowing and curling resistance, and impact resistance.
The lightweight construction makes handling and positioning easier on site, which supports a more efficient installation process compared to heavier underlay materials.
