One of the biggest factors in making the switch to synthetic turf is the reduction in time associated with maintenance. With little upkeep, the field is available for more hours of use. Because of this, it is important for the turf to have high permeability backing. Permeability can be related to a drainage system within the turf.
However permeable the turf is, is how much excess water it will allow to pass through it. This is an important part of the turf because it allows teams to get back on the field quicker after rainstorms. With natural grass, the water builds up and sits in the grass for a long time. Most players can’t play with large puddles of water scattered all over a field, so they must wait until they can fix back up the field after every major rainstorm. With permeable synthetic turf, the water drains right through and allows the field to be a safe environment after each rain storm without taking time away for maintenance.
All of Act Global’s turf has permeable backing at the base of it in order to accommodate local weather and rainfall conditions. A permeable back for the turf is not only useful for sports fields but also for homeowner lawns as well. Standing water usually turns into mud after heavy rainstorms if you have natural grass. Having a wet and muddy backyard is not ideal for appearance reasons and limits the use of a backyard for everyday activities. With synthetic turf, the need for immediate maintenance to avoid mud in one’s backyard is not necessary. Permeability is important for every type of synthetic turf.

This weekend was a busy one on our turf. With both wins and losses, it was an eventful two days for some of our favorite teams.
Saturday, November 10th
Unfortunately, the Houston Cougars took an L from the Temple Owls Saturday with an ending score of 49 to 59. It was a tough loss for the Cougars with a score that close. Their offense fought hard but Temple scored their final field goal in the fourth that sealed their win against the Cougars. Click the link below for more highlights! We are excited to see them play another one of our favorite teams, the Tulane Green Wave this Thursday on our turf!
This Saturday was a win for the Tulane Green Wave against the East Carolina Pirates with an ending score of 24 to 18. This was the third straight victory for Tulane, making it the first time they have had three consecutive wins in the American conference since 2013. The Pirates still put up a good fight against the Green Wave, making it an exciting game. We are so proud of Tulane and can’t wait to see their battle against the Cougars this Thursday. Our team will definitely be watching that one!
Sunday, November 11th
This Sunday was a sad loss for one of our favorite NFL teams. The New York Jets took a hard fall to the Buffalo Bills 10 to 41. The Jets have a bye week this week and are back to play the Patriots on Sunday the 25th. We hope to see the Jets turn their game around and come back ready to dominate the Patriots. We wish them the best!
This was an interesting weekend on our turf, to say the least. We hope all of our favorite teams get the rest they need and are ready to kill it these next few weeks of Football. Check out next weekend’s recap to see results for some of the biggest games on our turf!

Walt Whitman High School is a public high school located in Bethesda, Maryland. Last month the Whitman Vikings installed Act Global’s Xtreme Turf for a new sports field for their athletes. The students of Walt Whitman High School are now able to have a safe and durable field for their sporting events.
When making the switch to synthetic turf, there are various benefits that come along with it. Not only is it cost-effective, but it also requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass, and it’s environmentally friendly due to water conservation. Act Global’s Xtreme Turf goes through verified UV and UVA testing for intense climate conditions as well as safety and durability for all players. Maryland usually has low temperatures in the fall and winter seasons, so making the switch to synthetic turf was a way for this school to utilize the field as much possible without having to take time off for maintenance. This increases the availability of the field. Because of this testing, all athletes are able to enhance player performance on our turf safely.
We are excited to see how well the Whitman Vikings continue to play on our turf in the coming seasons!

Act Global’s Xtreme Turf SX was installed in Hayu Village, China for a new field that will be used as a local recreational facility for the people in the community and tourists who visit. This field is designed to enhance player experience as well as keep the appearance of the field as close to natural grass as possible.
Having a recreational field is a way to encourage community activity. Recreational fields provide access for the community to join together and encourage one another to get outdoors and be active, whether it’s competitively or for fun. Because these fields are suitable for a number of different sports, they serve as a huge advantage for the citizens.
Act Global’s Xtreme Turf SX was chosen for its bicolor grass that closely resembles natural turf as well as for the straight and durable yarns it has. All of Act Global’s Turf goes through verified testing to ensure safety and durability for all players. With synthetic turf, intense upkeep is not needed. The Hayu Village community will be able to utilize this field constantly without having to take time off to maintain the field, making it a convenient place for games or practices for the entire city.
“We are honored to have been chosen for Hayu Village’s recreational field. One of Act Global’s goals is to impact the communities we live in and the earth we inhabit. Being a part of this new recreational field for this city falls in line with that goal and we are thankful for the opportunity,” says Daniel Clapham, Act Global’s Regional Manager.

Oregon Ducks women’s soccer team beat the Oregon State Beavers last Friday 2-0 on their home turf in Eugene, Oregon. This is the first time in two years that the Ducks have won against the Beavers. Marissa Everett scored both of the goals for the Ducks during this game. It was a huge overall win for the Ducks, they broke a nine-year losing streak and lifted Oregon women’s soccer to its best record in a decade with 9-9-1 overall. We are proud of the Ducks for this big win!

The University of Hawaii, unfortunately, lost to Utah State 56 to 17 Saturday, November 3rd at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. UH quarterback Cole McDonald became the sixth quarterback in program history to reach the mark of 331 yards passing, two touchdowns, and eclipsed 3,000 yards on the season. McDonald threw both of his touchdowns in the third quarter. USU’s rushers Darwin Thompson and Gerold Bright each got three touchdowns defeating the University of Hawaii. We hope to see Hawaii come back with a win November 17th after a bye week.
Sunday, November 4th
Sunday was an exciting day on our turf. Two of our favorite NFL teams won their home games and we couldn’t be more proud. The Vikings beat the Lions 24 to 9 with the power of their defense. The Lions got three field goals, a fumble recovery, and an interception during the game but that was about it for them. The Vikings take on the Bears on November 18th, we are excited to see what the game entails.
The Saints took the W against the Rams 45 to 35. The Rams have been undefeated until their loss this Sunday, making it a huge win for the Saints. Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw four touchdown passes and 346 yards, running back Alvin Kamara had three touchdowns and wide receiver Michael Thomas caught a 72-yard touchdown that locked in their win. This was an exciting game to watch and we can’t wait to see the Saints play the Cincinnati Bengels next weekend. Will the Saints keep up this winning streak?
