Using ESSER funding to redesign learning spaces.

Since March 2020, federal lawmakers have passed three COVID-19 stimulus bills that together provide more than $190 billion in emergency relief funding for K-12 schools. The U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) has created the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund to distribute this money to schools.

Spending on learning environments is allowable under at least four specific use cases for ESSER funding, as outlined by federal officials: (1) IMPROVING SCHOOL FACILITIES TO REDUCE THE RISK OF VIRUS TRANSMISSION. Construction, renovation, and remodeling projects are allowable uses of ESSER funding, as long as these costs are “reasonable and necessary” to meet the program’s purpose, which is to “prevent, prepare for, and respond to” COVID-19.

“This might include renovations that would permit [a school system] to clean effectively (e.g., replacing old carpet with tile that could be cleaned more easily) or create a learning environment that could better sustain social distancing,” USDOE says. (See “Frequently Asked Questions: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Programs [and] Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Programs,” May 2021, p. 26.)

It also includes construction and renovation projects to improve indoor air quality.

For instance, a school system might use ESSER funds to: • Build outdoor learning spaces

Outdoor Commons

• Equip hallways, common areas, and cafeterias to support learning, so that students can spread out throughout the building

Cafeteria outfitted with Classroom Select ® Furnishings

• Add water bottle filling stations, handwashing and hand sanitizing stations, etc.

• Upgrade ventilation and HVAC systems

(2) SUPPORTING STUDENTS’ SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. Providing support for students’ mental and physical health, as well as meeting their social and emotional learning (SEL) needs, is a key area of focus for emergency relief aid.

School systems can use ESSER funding “to support students’ social, emotional, mental health, and academic needs … by implementing school-wide strategies … as well as targeted assistance for students who need such supports,” USDOE says. School systems “should also work to ensure that schools are implementing Early Childhood Sensory Room instructional practices that are culturally responsive and that incorporate trauma-informed pedagogy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.” (See “Frequently Asked Questions: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Programs [and] Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Programs,” May 2021, pp. 29-30.)

A learning environment that is warm, collaborative, and flexible in design, with plenty of seating choices, can support inclusiveness for all learners and help everyone feel safe and welcome.

• Stools that rock back and forth • Help students manage their responses to stress or anxiety • Sensorimotor space

(3) ADDRESSING STUDENTS’ LOSS OF INSTRUCTIONAL TIME DURING THE PANDEMIC. At least 20% of ESSER III funding must be used to address the academic impact of lost instructional time on students through the use of “evidence-based interventions.” Toward this end, school systems could use ESSER funding to create new learning spaces (or redesign their existing classrooms) to support evidencebased approaches to improving student achievement more effectively.

• Makerspaces • STEAM labs • Other hands-on learning environments can accelerate learning growth as well

(4) MEETING THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS. Addressing the needs of student populations who have been hit especially hard by the pandemic is another important use of emergency funding. These include students from low-income families, racial and ethnic minority groups, English learners, and students with disabilities.

• An inclusive learning environment can help all students learn more effectively, including those with disabilities.

Chill Corner

The $190 billion in federal emergency relief aid provides a unique opportunity for schools to redesign their learning spaces to support more effective teaching and learning—and School Specialty learning consultants are available to help.

7 Fatal Mistakes OF ROOF RESTORATION 1

SKIPPING THE DIAGNOSTICS STEP. Lack of proper diagnostics often leads to wrong decisions.

Accurate information is obtained through a moisture survey. Seek expert advice when it comes to evaluating if a roof is a good candidate for restoration.

2

COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES. An incomplete evaluation often leads to a wrong decision. A detailed specification written to meet both your budget and your building needs will set the standards for the quality of the system and the application. Find an advocate who will provide you with options and help you write the specification that is in your best interest. The contractors that want your business will have to comply with the technical requirements of the specification and application procedures.

Remember, a roof “coating” is not necessarily a roof “restoration” system.

3

BEING MISLED BY WARRANTY TERMS. Warranty does not equal performance. Building owners get a false sense of security when they receive a restoration warranty. Understand your obligations. Double-check the limitations. Verify the track record of the proposed system. Read the fine print of your restoration warranty to make sure it is realistic and meets your expectations.

ROOFING & BUILDING MAINTENANCE

Cooperative Contracts TRUST IN EXPERIENCE. STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.

7 Fatal Mistakes OF ROOF RESTORATION

4

IGNORING THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

LOWEST PRICE

5

SUPERIOR ROI

Building owners are often misled by a low price with a long warranty.

When it comes determining the value of your warranty, make sure you have a clear understanding of system compatibility and durability, quality assurance during application, and preventive maintenance practices for the restoration system.

CUTTING CORNERS ON THE PREP WORK. The performance of any restoration coating is compromised when a surface is not properly cleaned and ready for the system application. Not taking care of existing leaks, not replacing wet insulation, using the wrong cleaning system or the wrong cleaning agents, and not allowing time for drying are all contributing factors to a restoration project that will fall short in performance.

6

7

LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL DURING THE APPLICATION. Restoring an existing roofing system is less complicated than replacing a roof, but that doesn’t mean that a quality assurance process shouldn’t take place. Either a technical representative from the manufacturer or a registered roof observer should be present during the preparation and application of a restoration system to make sure the surface is acceptable, the details are properly addressed and the materials applied at the proper coverage rates.

NOT FOLLOWING GOOD ROOFING PRACTICES. Before, during and after a roof restoration, good roofing practices will impact the long term performance of the roofing system. The proper diagnostics, a detailed specification, quality assurance during application, a comprehensive warranty and a preventive maintenance program are all contributing factors to a successful roof restoration.

SCHOOLGATE GUARDIAN INTRODUCING THE SCHOOLGATE GUARDIAN VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

PARENTS DEMAND SECURITY. WE PROVIDE IT. Features of SchoolGate Guardian Include: Fast and Easy Visitor Logging and Tracking The SchoolGate Guardian software quickly scans and processes your visitors state issued ID. Our software date and time stamps every visit. The system archives all the details of the visit, including date and time, photograph of the visitor, who they are there to see, and what their destination is in the school. If the image that is retrieved from the state issued photo ID does not clearly represent the current appearance of your visitor, a Webcam can be used to quickly capture a current image. Easily logs out the visitor when they leave.

Unlimited Sex Offender Checks SchoolGate Guardian instantly compares the identity of your visitor with a national database of over 800,000 registered sex offenders.

In the event a positive match occurs, the SchoolGate Guardian software displays detailed information about the actual sex offender. This information includes mug shot, height, weight, eye color, crimes committed, aliases, and bodily markings such as scars or tattoos. This detailed information helps prevent the chance for a false positive.

protection from abuse orders, or known threats in the community such as expelled students or drug dealers. A discreet pop-up warning occurs when one of these unwanted visitors attempts to enter your facility.

Tardy Student Tracking SchoolGate Guardian makes it quick and easy for your staff to track tardy students. The system automatically calculates the amount of minutes the student has been tardy. Our convenient tardy reports show all students who have been tardy and the cumulative amount of minutes they have accrued. This feature can also be used for early dismissals.

Approved Pick-Up Lists The SchoolGate Guardian system electronically identifies individuals who have parental approval to pick-up children from your facilities. In the event of an emergency situation, the primary care giver’s information is displayed so your staff can attempt to contact them to allow a temporary authorization.

Student Information System (SIS) Integration The SchoolGate Guardian software can be easily integrated to share data seamlessly with your Student Information System. This eliminates the need for manual downloads of student data and approved guardian lists.

Time-Expiring Visitor ID Badge Technology The SchoolGate Guardian system incorporates time-expiring visitor badge technology that contains the visitor’s photo, name and visit information. Approximately 10 to 12 hours after a visitor badge is issued, a bright red stop sign will appear on the visitor badge showing your staff the badge has expired. This prevents visitors from using the badge at another time or another place in your district.

Customizable Unwanted Visitor Registries The SchoolGate Guardian software allows you to create customizable lists of visitors that are not allowed in your facilities such as parents with restraining orders, limited visitation rights,

Tracks Volunteer Hours By flagging a visit as a volunteer, the SchoolGate Guardian’s reporting feature can easily tell your district how many hours a particular volunteer has volunteered their time in your schools.

WITH GROWING PUBLIC DEMAND FOR SCHOOL SECURITY, ISN’T IT TIME YOU INVESTED IN A ‘STATE-OF-THE-ART’ VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM? Your schools have the latest in educational technology, but in this increasingly dangerous world are you still using outdated methods of signing in and tracking visitors? Schools that recognize this problem are turning to SchoolGate Guardian for their visitor management solutions. When you install SchoolGate Guardian, you keep unwanted visitors out.

Mass Alert Features in the Event of an Emergency In the event of an emergency such as a sex offender or an angry parent with a restraining order attempting to enter one of your buildings, your front office staff can send an instant and discreet alert by simply clicking the ‘send alert’ button. This launches an instantaneous text message and e-mail to key district personnel.

This message contains the location of the problem and the reason code. In the event of a sex offender alert, the person’s name, physical description and photo are sent in the email.

Emergency Response Reporting The SchoolGate Guardian software can instantly create a report of who is in your building in the event of an emergency lock down.

School officials can instantly view and print a facilities log record from any SchoolGate Guardian terminal in the district to see who is in the building and what the purpose of their visit is. This report includes photographs of the visitor so this report can be quickly printed and presented to law enforcement when they arrive on the scene.

Convenient Frequent Visitor Key Tags Frequent visitors, such as the guy who fills the vending machines or parents who pick up their children on a regular basis, can be issued a ‘frequent visitor key tag’. This is a bar-coded key tag that can be conveniently placed on a key chain so when your frequent visitor enters one of your facilities, they can simply hand the receptionist the key tag to be scanned by the SchoolGate Guardian system. The frequent visitor’s photograph and information will be displayed so the

receptionist can confirm their identity, and a visitor’s badge can be printed. This feature greatly streamlines the school check-in process.

RSVP Events The RSVP Event feature allows you to easily manage large numbers of event attendees. To create an event, simply add an event name, date, time and location. Now you can begin adding attendees. As you add visitors, the software compiles your guests into an alphabetical queue in preparation for badging. The SchoolGate Guardian software automatically performs all the required background checks and provides you with an exception report in the event any of your guests have unwanted visitor records attached to their identity. At this point, you can analyze the unwanted reason code and either approve or disapprove their entry into the event. To print visitor passes, you can either ‘select all’ and print everyone a security badge or you can print on demand when a particular visitor arrives.

RSVP Meetings The RSVP Meeting feature allows you to create smaller events such as meetings. To create a meeting, simply add a meeting name, date, time, location and event organizer. Now you can add visitors and select internal faculty or staff members that are attending.

You can also add meeting comments (such as instructions) to a comment field. When your visitor arrives, the meeting organizer is alerted via e-mail and instantaneous text message.

SCHOOLGATE GUARDIAN CAN PROTECT CHILDREN FROM MANY THREATS BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE CARRIES A SIGN. Child Abductions More than 350,000 abductions occur each year; that is nearly 1,000 per day. A child’s vulnerability for abduction exists for 4 to 5 years after a separation or divorce, so with approximately 1 million children experiencing divorce each year there are anywhere from 5 to 10 million children at risk at any given moment.

Custody Issues It is estimated that at least one million children are involved in child custody issues as the result of divorce cases every year in the United States.

Sex Offenders There are currently over 800,000 registered sex offenders in the US. 67% of all victims of sexual assault reported to law enforcement agencies were juveniles (under 18), 34% of all victims were under the age of 12.

The Eraser mat is great for dragging in top dressing on greens without damage to the greens. Also perfect for breaking up core plugs on fairways! When finished grooming with an Eraser, very little material is left in the mat. The flexible mat material is easy to roll and unroll and can be driven over without damage.

The CMCE, in contrast, unloads Mother Nature's 'gun' and stops the lightning from ever striking your property.“

How to Buy in 3 Easy Steps

A Note on Federal Funding

1

Contact your local Carrier rep for equipment, service or parts needs.

2

Communicate your intention to use a state-specific contract.

3

Your local representative will work with Carrier to fulfill your requirements in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Congress has set nearly $200 billion for COVIDrelated stimulus efforts, including HVAC updates.

This includes “Inspection, testing, maintenance, repair, replacement, and upgrade projects to improve the indoor air quality in school facilities…”

Connect with your local Carrier representative for specific state and local school district information related to uses of Federal ESSER funding.

Returning to School, Shaping the Future

In K-12 schools, there’s nothing more important than the health and safety of your students and staff – and there’s no company better equipped to help.

Much of the immediate focus of healthy building efforts and the new funding is around infection control and overcoming the challenges of safely resuming in-person learning.

But the new funding also presents schools with a significant opportunity to address the longer term benefits of enhanced learning environments, including improved well-being and cognitive function of students and staff.

To learn more, visit https://www.carrier.com/k-12

By high school graduation, the average American student will have spent more than 15,000 hours in school, which means their well-being is directly tied to the health of their learning environments.1

1

According to the Government Accountability Office, half of all schools in the U.S. have unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) and nearly 36,000 need HVAC updates.2

For every hour increase in the air exchange rate in schools, there was a 12% decrease in sick days.3

Poorly ventilated classrooms showed a 5% decrease in “power of attention,” roughly equivalent to the impact that a student might feel if skipping breakfast.4

Alerts have been initiated for reasons ranging from everyday events such as medical emergencies and behavior situations to more extreme situations such as campus-wide events. Using the CrisisAlert badge for everyday solutions is important so that staff are comfortable using it in any emergency, including staff and campus-wide alerts. While the initial driver for Alyssa’s Law was a campus-wide threat, platform data indicates 98% ofby CrisisAlert usage is in Average Average Alerts Alerts by School School Type Type helping staff respond to everyday emergencies.

THE GREATEST TURF ON EARTH. How The Legend Was Born FieldTurf comes from humble beginnings. Its debut in the sport surfacing industry was in 1988 with the introduction of a synthetic grass system for tennis courts and a synthetic grass surface used to minimize wear and tear around golf practice tees. The company then began developing synthetic turf surfaces for other sports installations including soccer, lacrosse, football and baseball. FieldTurf focused on perfecting a sports field system with a sand and rubber infill, which provided superior athlete safety, high performance and extreme durability. The infilled artificial turf industry was born when, in 1994, FieldTurf installed its first full size soccer field.

The Installation That Changed The Industry As the story goes, Tom Osborne, Nebraska Cornhuskers coaching legend, travelled to a high school installation in Pennsylvania with a recently installed FieldTurf field and walked across the field to meet FieldTurf representatives.

“So, where is this stuff everyone’s talking about,” he asked. The truth was he had just walked across it. Osborne thought he was walking on natural grass. Upon recommendation from Osborne, Nebraska’s athletic department installed FieldTurf at one of their practice facilities in 1999. Husker players were so enthusiastic that the school decided to install FieldTurf in its stadium a year early. The Huskers finished with an incredible 12-1 record and a virtually injury-free season their first year on FieldTurf. It was the Nebraska installation that propelled FieldTurf forward, as top teams from around the world began to play on FieldTurf.

The most innovative turf offering.

The FieldTurf Elite System Difference.

When it comes to safety, performance and durability, nothing compares to the FieldTurf Elite system.

Patented Infill Layering System:

Often imitated, but never equaled, FieldTurf’s patented infill mixture delivers unmatched player safety with published peer-reviewed studies to prove it!

Highest Quality Materials:

Not all materials are created equal. FieldTurf uses the best ingredients – round, clean and durable silica sand coupled with the cleanest and roundest cryogenically processed rubber.

Heavyweight System:

Don’t be fooled by pile weight – focus on the total system weight. With FieldTurf’s heavyweight infill system the total carpet weights of most Elite systems eclipse 1300 oz/sq yd.

Most Durable Fibers:

When it comes to durable fibers, FieldTurf’s Elite systems feature some of the most durable fiber systems available in the market today. Just ask us for the testing!

Unmatched Drainage:

FieldTurf’s patented finger coating system provides 40% more porosity than competing perforated turf systems.

[6]

THE FIBERS The Most Durable Fibers – for Longest-Lasting Performance The ideal turf fibers should provide grass-like aesthetics and unmatched durability.

FieldTurf’s systems have done just that. FieldTurf has the most innovative fiber options to choose from. Here are the fiber options for the Elite system: FieldTurf Revolution - Manufactured in FieldTurf’s own fiber plant, FieldTurf Revolution features a proprietary polymer formulation that reduces splitting and degradation and includes a leading ultraviolet inhibitor technology. A state-of-theart extrusion process provides intricate concave and ridged construction to eliminate breaking points.

Classic HD - The gold standard in slit-film durability and technology, Classic HD is the ideal combination of softness and stiffness, designed to be the most player-friendly and resilient slit-film fiber in the marketplace. Its unique extrusion and inline precision cutter eliminates excess splitting, for longer-lasting performance.

THE INFILL A Patented Infill System - for Superior Playability FieldTurf’s infill is installed in 3 layers – a base layer of sand for ballast, a middle layer of silica sand / cryogenic rubber, and a top layer of larger sized cryogenically processed rubber particles. This patented system is the secret behind the safety and playability of FieldTurf. While fiber provides aesthetic value, it is the infill that delivers what the athlete needs to perform. FieldTurf infill is made of the highest quality materials. Unlike ambient rubber, FieldTurf uses only cryogenic rubber, the cleanest and highest grade of rubber granule. Similarly sized particles of washed silica sand and rounded cryogenic rubber hold each other in suspension - compress and expand to provide stability, long life resiliency and proper energy restitution. A top layer of rubber particles provides athletes with a non-abrasive cushion. FieldTurf’s Elite systems offer the heaviest infill systems in the industry – with up to 9.2 lbs of infill per sq. ft.

Cryogenic Rubber

THE BACKING SureLock Coating - for the Most Durable Product When designing the ideal turf backing three aspects must be considered – tuft bind strength, stability, and drainage. FieldTurf’s SureLock Coating delivers the ultimate in all 3 categories. Tuft bind is the strength of the attachment of the yarn to the backing material. FieldTurf’s industry-leading tuft bind is achieved by using strong fibers secured with the SureLock Coating System. The fibers are tufted into a backing of permeable woven and non-woven polypropylene fabrics at a patented row width of 3/4” for optimal cleat interaction. Our patented finger unit seals only the row of fibers, leaving the backing 40% porous, for unmatched drainage. Our competitors coat the entire backing, then burn holes into the turf to allow drainage.

The safest turf system.

The Ultimate In Safety, Performance And Durability The most important attributes of a turf system are Safety, Performance, and Durability.

FieldTurf is proud to be at the top of the class in all 3 categories. Independent testing proves its safety; player preference confirms its performance; and its durability is proven day in and day out at thousands of installations around the world.

What makes FieldTurf the safest system?

The answer is simple. FieldTurf works just like natural grass.

On a natural grass field the athletes cut, plant and release in the earth – not in the blades of grass. On an artificial turf field, the infill is the earth. FieldTurf’s infill provides the same biomechanical properties as natural grass, as athletes cut, plant and release. Like in natural grass, athletes play in the infill, not on the turf fibers.

FieldTurf’s infill system contains up to 9.2 lbs. per square foot. It’s the “heavyweight” in the turf industry. All other turf systems contain a lightweight infill system, typically no more than 6 lbs. per sq. ft.

Stitch “gauge” refers to the distance between the rows of fibers in a turf carpet. FieldTurf is a “wide gauge” turf system. The rows of fiber are 3/4” apart for ideal cleat interaction. This spacing allows for proper cleat penetration of the infill. Proper penetration enables the athlete to plant, twist and release just like they do on natural grass - without undue torque transmitted to the knees and ankles. As a result, chances of injuries are greatly reduced.

All other turf systems use a very “narrow gauge” usually 3/8” or 1/2”. This narrow gauge results in turf that is overly dense, preventing the same penetration and positive biomechanical functions found on FieldTurf and natural grass.

The result is that the athlete plays on or in the fibers - not in the infill. This causes the fibers to wear faster and makes it more difficult for the athlete to get solid footing, causing slippage. We call this “The Skate Effect.”

FieldTurf was built by athletes for athletes. Our team has taken the time to design and produce a patented turf system that is engineered and quite unlike any other. The combination of our heavyweight infill system and our wide gauge turf spacing are two unique inventions that set FieldTurf apart from the rest. The result is proven player safety and performance that is simply unmatched.

FieldTurf’s performance enhancing artificial turf provides a surface that allows athletes to focus on skill and execution.

[10]

Did You Know?

FieldTurf’s heavyweight infill system is constructed using up to 9.2 lbs of infill material per square foot, which is quite similar in weight to the root zone of a high quality natural grass field.

Playing In The Safety Zone Long term study of FieldTurf fields provides evidence of the proven safety of the heavyweight infill system.

Data collected from 11 FieldTurf fields located in California confirmed the long term safety of FieldTurf fields as it relates to field hardness (Gmax).

FieldTurf fields with heavyweight infill systems maintain safe Gmax ratings over time, dispelling any myth of field compaction. In accordance with MSP (Maximum Safety and Performance) fields must be within a Gmax range of 120-180 to be considered safe. All the FieldTurf fields analyzed were in this range. Published reports have indicated that lightweight turf systems can achieve Gmax levels above 200.

Heavyweight infill systems have a minimum of 8 pounds of infill per sq. ft. while lightweight systems typically have a high face weight (high fiber density) a term commonly described as “Fiber Loading” and only 3 to 6 pounds of infill per square foot.

Detroit Country Day School Selects FieldTurf Again, After First Field Lasts Thirteen Years!

Detroit Country Day School also chose to install FieldTurf in their impressive new indoor athletic complex that will serve the football, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls lacrosse and field hockey teams.

“We looked at many different products in the industry and the same holds true today as it did more than a decade ago – nothing in the marketplace compares to what the FieldTurf product offers in terms of safety and playability. When we originally decided to install FieldTurf on our Stadium Field, we expected an excellent level of service and product and that is exactly what we experienced over the last 13 years. We are excited to continue our longstanding relationship with the world leader in artificial turf.”

Keys To A Long-Lasting Turf System There are 4 keys to a long-lasting turf system – a durable fiber system, high quality infill materials, proper infill depth and strong seam technology.

1

Durable Turf Fibers

2

High Quality Infill Materials

3

Proper Infill Depth

While an artificial turf system’s infill performs well for up to twenty years, it is the fiber system that wears first. Finding a durable fiber system is key when selecting your turf system. Independent testing on the durability of various fiber types is available at Penn State University. For more information on the study, contact your FieldTurf representative.

Low grade rubber materials can cause premature wear of a turf field. There are two types of rubber material – high grade cryogenic rubber and low grade ambient rubber. Cryogenic rubber works to promote effective and consistent drainage by eliminating the potential for migration caused by water. The cryogenic rubber’s smooth and rounded shape facilitates a consistent flow of water through the infill without raising and displacing any rubber. The loose and jagged rubber strands found in ambient rubber make it vulnerable to migration and floatation caused by the air bubbles in water.

Infill depth will ensure proper playability and longevity of the fiber, while also maintaining a grass-like appearance. The infill is the athlete’s source for cutting, planting, shock absorption and energy restitution. The critical mistake regardless of the type of infill used, is the under filling or over filling of the turf system.

Proper Infill Level: Infill at approximately 2/3 (two-thirds) depth of the fiber height will provide the necessary fiber support for a longer lasting field along with less maintenance and a very minimal amount of infill displacement.

3/4” 2 1/2”

Proper Infill Level

Over Filled: Too much infill depth in a turf system leads to rooster tails following ball roll and running, along with the potential for severe infill displacement.

Under Filled: An infill level that is too low can cause wrinkling and/or buckling of the turf surface and fails to protect the turf fibers from premature wear and abrasion.

Over Filled

Under Filled

Strong Seam Technology When it comes to the longevity of field seams, there is only one answer – FieldTurf’s heavy duty sewn seams. Simply put, glued seams will not stand the test of time. The number one maintenance problem associated with synthetic fields is that of loose unglued turf seams. Glued seams may be easier to install and less expensive as they require no special equipment or expertise. But sewn seams are the only way to ensure a trouble-free seam and a long lasting, safe field. FieldTurf ’s panel seams are sewn with a double lock stitch. FieldTurf fields do not experience seam problems because FieldTurf settles for nothing less than the best materials and most thorough seam installation.

Durability [13]

The #1 Choice For Football.

Designed For Football FieldTurf is clearly the #1 choice of football. Whether it is at the professional level where 22 of 32 NFL teams have selected FieldTurf, or the NCAA where over 100 universities play their home games on FieldTurf, or even at the high school level where dozens of state champions have played on our surface.

FieldTurf’s safety, performance and durability levels are far superior to any other system. As the world’s largest synthetic turf company, FieldTurf is installed in most major stadiums. But there is no difference between a high profile FieldTurf field and one installed in a small town.

For every pro or college field we build, we install the same quality field at 150 schools and municipal facilities.

NFL Players Prefer FieldTurf When it comes to surface preference, NFL Players have voted FieldTurf as the top artificial surface. Every two years, the NFL Players Association conducts a survey of its players where all of the league’s playing surfaces are rated and ranked on many performance-based factors. In 2010, the NFL Players voted FieldTurf as the best artificial surface in the league - for the 10th year in a row! A total of 1619 active NFL players from all 32 teams completed survey forms.

THE WORLD CLASS SOCCER SURFACE.

Designed For Soccer The FieldTurf product was designed for soccer by focusing on four key soccer-related requirements: Ball Performance, Energy Restitution, Shock Absorption and Playability.

FieldTurf is ideal for soccer because of its fiber technology (ball performance), heavyweight infill system (energy restitution and shock absorption) and wide gauge tufting (playability).

Why Is FieldTurf The Best Surface For Soccer? most Grass-Like Playability The 2012 study conducted by Prozone, an independent consulting firm specializing in soccer performance, confirms that there are “No Major Differences” in playability on FieldTurf or natural grass.

Prozone installed a player tracking system on 2 fields – one at Luzhniki Stadium (FieldTurf) and the other at Khimki Arena (natural grass). Since 2006 Luzhniki has had FieldTurf installed for their pitch and the results in key playability categories indicate FieldTurf is equal to natural grass when it comes to playing soccer. n

Distance run during match was 113.9 km on FieldTurf vs. 112.1 km on grass, indicating teams are confident to play very similar styles on both surfaces.

Ball touches per player were 2.01 on FieldTurf vs. 2.06 on grass, indicating players are just as comfortable with the possession of the ball on FieldTurf as on natural grass.

Passes played forward increased on FieldTurf, indicating more offense and more entertaining games are played on it.

Tackles per player rose by 0.70 on FieldTurf, illustrating that players are just as comfortable defending on FieldTurf and do not feel a greater risk of playing on the surface.

The Soccer Reference With over 3,000 FieldTurf soccer installations, FieldTurf has the most FIFA Recommended fields in the world! Some of the most prestigious clubs worldwide practice or play on FieldTurf, including Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Manchester United. In the U.S., FieldTurf is the choice for 16 MLS teams for practice facilities, with New England Revolution, Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders picking FieldTurf for their stadiums as well.

Soccer-Smart System Design

Over 75% of all teams in the English Premier League, Spain’s ‘La Liga’ and France’s ‘Ligue de Football Professionnel’ train on FieldTurf systems.

FieldTurf has invested in developing the ideal system for soccer with the following soccer specific attributes:

The Most Natural Ball Performance: The knock on synthetic turf has been unrealistic ball roll. On competitors’ fields,

fibers have laid over or become matted within just 1 or 2 years, causing the ball to roll too rapidly - informally referred to as “quickroll”.

FieldTurf has solved this problem with the introduction of our FieldTurf Revolution fiber. With unmatched memory to return each fiber to the upright position, ball roll remains natural, even over time.

Ball bounce on an artificial turf field is another concern that only FieldTurf has been able to properly address. Ball bounce is linked to the infill composition of the turf system. FieldTurf’s patented layered infill system provides the right amount of softness to absorb the ball’s impact in a natural way for the life of the field.

Optimal Energy Return: Energy restitution is the amount of energy that goes back into your legs when running on a surface.

FieldTurf’s layered system of sand and rubber provides the optimum level of energy restitution. Other all-rubber or lightweight surfaces are spongier which accelerate fatigue and muscle / joint stress. This effect is magnified on fields that will be used for both training and matches.

Proven Safety: During the Men’s 2007 FIFA U20 World Cup in Canada, where the majority of the matches on artificial turf were played on FieldTurf, medical officer Dr. Rudy Gittens noted… “There were an average of 2.8 injuries per game through the first 48 games - 3.3 per game on natural grass and 2.4 on artificial turf. From these particular figures it would appear that artificial turf might be safer.”

FIFA Preferred Producer: FieldTurf is a select member of the FIFA Preferred Producer Program having met the rigid obligations and reporting requirements. A FIFA Preferred Producer goes beyond the traditional supplier / installer scenario by continually improving the quality of their product and assuming responsibility for the production, installation and maintenance of the turf from inception to completion.

Did You Know?

The 2008 World Series was played on FieldTurf while over 25 NCAA D-I teams continue to play and / or practice on FieldTurf baseball systems.

Designed For Baseball FieldTurf is far and away the industry leader in artificial turf systems designed specifically for baseball – at all levels of competition. What better proof is there than the reduction of error rates? Many Division I baseball programs have reported a reduction of up to 50% in fielding errors after switching to FieldTurf.

Why Is FieldTurf DoublePlay The Best Surface For Baseball?

The launch of FieldTurf’s DoublePlay baseball systems signify the greatest technological advancement in baseball surfacing in decades.

FieldTurf combines the beneficial biomechanical properties of natural grass, with the best attributes of a durable synthetic system - all weather playability, low maintenance, safety and high performance.

Tuning The Speed Of Play FieldTurf offers its clients the ability to ‘tune’ the speed of play of the infield and outfield to slow, medium, or fast - depending on preference. The speed of play is set through a combination of infill materials, infill depth and underlying base materials. Each of these components are tailor-made to meet the pace of play required by each client.

Here are the five (5) pillars of FieldTurf baseball-specific product development:

Penn State Comparative Testing Coefficient of Restitution (COR) is defined as a ratio of two velocities: the velocity of a baseball after impact with the surface divided by the velocity of the ball prior to impact. The COR value is the only way to accurately measure and compare ball speed levels on different types of surfaces. The higher the COR value, the faster the surface.

Penn State University tested over 20 different surfaces, including natural grass and the top competitive artificial turf surfaces. The objective was to find which surfaces delivered slow, medium or fast ball pace. Here is a snapshot of the results.

Natural Grass Playability & Aesthetics

*Data taken from an NCAA Division I game field.

For DoublePlay and DoublePlay Laser systems, a taller fiber blade height is used for the green-colored areas on the baseball field – outfield, foul areas, and green infield area. A slightly shorter fiber blade height is used for all basepath areas. This small fiber height difference allows for a perfect replication of grass and clay area transitions on natural ball fields. FieldTurf also offers its clients the option to use colored infill to match the color of a natural field and the turf installed. In green areas, the infill will be dirt-colored. In rust areas, the infill will be rust-colored. Should the basepaths be a tan color, the infill will be tan-colored.

Removable Bases

FieldTurf warning tracks are installed with a special, durable lavarock infill. This ensures there is a distinct difference in feel and sound, for a player who is tracking a ball near the fence, without having to look down.

During a FieldTurf installation, coaches have a chance to validate the performance of the surface. This is our way of ensuring that the field is tailored to the speed and performance that meets each customers’ needs.

Our ‘ExtraBase’ program ensures that high wear areas on a FieldTurf field are taken care of for the long-term. FieldTurf offers its clients the option of having removable or serviced replacement home plate and base areas. The replacement of these high-traffic areas can be done periodically as a simple ‘do-it-yourself’ option, with easy fastening and removal methods, or by one of FieldTurf’s experienced local installation crews.

“A few of us went on trips to view turf fields in Southern California. We went to college sites, a few parks, and some recreation sites. We knew by our research that FieldTurf was considered to be the premier turf on the market and we wanted the best turf available. As advertised, FieldTurf was the best. The surfaces look great, and from other sites we visited, FieldTurf held up under significant use. The athletes that use our field love it, the city staff loves it, it drains well, it is generally low maintenance, all while being environmentally sound. It’s a consistent surface day in and day out compared to natural turf after heavy usage.”

VERTICAL INTEGRATION = QUALITY ASSURANCE.

The Quality Standard FieldTurf, the worldwide leader in quality, remains focused on three pillars, all of which are supported by our triple ISO certification.

1 - Better Materials 2 - Manufacturing Excellence 3 - World Class Installations

Better Materials Better materials make better fields. It’s that simple. The two main materials in a turf system are fiber and infill and FieldTurf has invested heavily in selecting only the highest grade materials.

Fiber For years, the belief throughout the industry has been that the shape of the fiber dictates its performance and durability. While this is partly true, the real key to fiber performance is a combination of Polymer, Process, and Geometry. This is FieldTurf’s PPG philosophy. FieldTurf has spared no expense in using the best – and now exclusive – polymer and processing technology available on the market today.

Here are the three keys to producing high quality artificial turf fibers: Polymer

Proprietary polymer formulation to resist splitting and degradation, complete with an industry leading ultraviolet inhibitor technology.

Process

State-of-the-art extrusion process for precision manufacturing that ensures the production of an exceptionally strong fiber with a radical reflection feature built into each artificial grass blade.

Geometry Intricate concave and ridged construction eliminates breaking points and provides the most natural looking fiber.

Infill Cryogenic rubber is a rare grade of clean and finely rounded rubber. For improved safety and performance, cryogenic rubber is the only grade of rubber that FieldTurf uses in its Elite system fields. Others use ambient rubber, a cheaper grade of mass produced rubber. Ambient rubber is a jagged grade of particle and has the propensity to migrate resulting in low filled areas which can be more dangerous to athletes and contribute to premature fiber wear.

While most turf companies use low grade sand products, FieldTurf uses a more expensive washed silica sand. This silica sand has the ideal shape and hardness to ensure proper performance and long term durability. Before being installed, our washed silica sand and cryogenic rubber is tested for shape, size, safety, consistency and durability.

[22]

Manufacturing Excellence During the manufacturing process there are three aspects to turf construction – Fiber Production, Tufting, and Coating. What’s important to know is that FieldTurf controls all three aspects of the value chain.

Nothing is left to a third party. Nothing is left to chance. This provides FieldTurf clients with a level of quality assurance that simply cannot be matched.

Fiber Production: FieldTurf’s fibers are produced at our very own facility in Germany. This state-of-theart facility was opened in 2010 and as a result has turned FieldTurf into one of the most vertically integrated companies in the world. The quality control process at the facility includes stringent testing of the yarn properties (tensile strength, uniformity, color verification).

FieldTurf Fiber Production Plant Absteinach, Germany

Tufting and Coating: Once the fiber is produced it is ready for tufting and coating which takes place at FieldTurf’s 500,000 square-foot facility in Calhoun, Georgia. Our triple ISO certification ensures rigorous quality control and inspection under World Class Manufacturing (WCM) principles.

FieldTurf Tufting & Coating Plant Calhoun, GA

World Class Installations In the turf industry, good materials aren’t enough. A world class installation team is needed to assemble the materials properly. FieldTurf ensures the longevity and overall quality of our surfaces by taking the following measures: Experienced Installation Crews - By using only crews who have experience with the FieldTurf product, FieldTurf is able to assure its customers that only those who fully understand the product and its construction requirements handle the installation.

Sewn Seams - With so much riding on the quality of the seam construction job, FieldTurf has chosen to invest in sewn seams rather than the cheaper glued alternative. FieldTurf’s panel seams are sewn with a double lock stitch and FieldTurf has a proven record for fields without seam problems.

When it comes to the quality and safety of your field, you can be certain that FieldTurf settles for nothing less than the best materials and most thorough seam installation around. There is no compromise for quality.

Make sure that your supplier meets the following criteria: n

Strong Commitment to the Environment

The environmental benefits of artificial turf have been well documented for years. Hundreds of studies have been completed to discover the truth about any potential risks of artificial turf. In every case, new generation artificial turf has been found to be completely safe.

FieldTurf was the first artificial turf company in the world to fully recycle a turf field. It happened in 2010 at War Memorial Stadium in Arkansas.

FieldTurf was one of the first companies to introduce “lead free” products and to this day continues to use only lead free fibers.

FieldTurf Recycles FieldTurf is 100% recyclable. When a FieldTurf installation finally comes to the end of its long life – it continues to help our planet. FieldTurf was the first company in the industry to remove entire turf systems and recycle them. After removal, old turf fields can now be turned into new turf infill and backing, as well as other products, such as crude oil, custom bi-products and artificial lumber.

FieldTurf proudly offers a “Take Back” program for both sports fields and landscape applications, whereby FieldTurf will provide customers with the option, in writing, that fields will be recycled at the end of their useful life when replaced with another FieldTurf system.
