A hattrick for matchbase.pro With the professional matchbase.pro shock pad, NEVOEN sets new standards in the sports industry. matchbase.pro is a tough, elastic and impact absorbent layer, which for the protection of the athletes and an increase in playing comfort, is laid between the subgrade and artificial turf, or under indoor sports facility flooring. From hockey to rugby and football: excellent ball bounce and the absorption of irritating floor vibrations enhance both the performance and the enjoyment of the athletes.

matchbase.pro can be relied upon even under extreme weather conditions matchbase.pro can withstand extreme weather conditions and intensive use and scores with top product performance and durability. The open cell structure and the flexible cell walls form the nucleus of the foam and in combination with uniform product characteristics enable the fulfillment of the various standards in the sports industry.

Irrespective of whether the moisture retention capability of a hockey pitch is involved, or the cooling effect of football or rugby pitches is to be enhanced, matchbase.pro is the correct choice. At the same time, matchbase.pro shock pads are genuine team players and can be utilized in combination with heating systems for all-year playing possibilities. Installation is extremely simple, as owing to the high density of the material, it rolls out flat and firmly onto the subgrade. A smooth, even surface is thus created on which the flooring can be laid directly. Moreover, maintenance is minimized because matchbase.pro retains its characteristics throughout the entire product life cycle. matchbase.play: protection and comfort for young athletes Children are by nature inquisitive and in their eagerness to learn discover the world. Each passing day beckons with new and exciting adventures, but this thirst for action and exploratory spirit can sometimes result in falls. Therefore, in order to guarantee sufficient safety for our little ones on children’s playgrounds, in schoolyards or other open spaces, NEVEON offers a two-layer surface system. The base layer is formed by matchbase. play, a highly elastic material made from open-cell polyurethane foam. This layer is topped by an artificial turf playing surface filled with quartz sand. matchbase.play meets the requirements of the DIN EN 1177:2009 standard for fall-protective surfaces and is available in two versions:
