Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill is a 1–4mm rubber infill made from 100% recycled tyres in Western Australia. It enhances synthetic turf by supporting fibres, providing shock absorption, improving drainage, and extending surface life. Ideal for sports fields, schools, pet areas, and commercial landscaping.

Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill is easy to install. After laying your synthetic turf, simply spread the infill evenly using a drop spreader or by hand, then brush it into the fibres with a stiff broom. For larger projects, a power broom helps speed things up, but it’s not essential. The process is simple enough for DIYers and beginners, yet effective for professional-grade results.

Application rates range from 0.5 to 4 kg/m², depending on turf height and usage. Residential lawns typically need 0.5–2 kg/m², while sports fields and high-impact zones may require 2–4 kg/m². For best results, the infill should fill around 50–70% of the turf fibre height. Use our Turf Infill Calculator to get a quick and accurate estimate for your project.

Yes. Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill is non-toxic, metal-free, and cleaned for safety. It’s widely used in schools and playgrounds. Rubber infill doesn’t stick to paws or clothes and allows fast drainage, making it a hygienic, child-safe, and pet-safe turf infill solution.

Absolutely. Rubber granules create air channels that enhance vertical drainage, prevent waterlogging, and help surfaces dry faster. It maintains its structure over time, unlike sand, which can compact and clog drainage.

Rubber does retain some heat, but Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill is cooler than sand-only infill or no infill at all. It creates insulating air pockets, helping reduce surface temperatures. For extra cooling, irrigation or light watering can lower turf heat quickly.

Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill lasts 8–10 years, often outliving the turf itself. It’s weather-resistant, and doesn’t decompose. Minor top-ups may be needed in high-traffic zones after several years, but no full replacement like with cork or organic infill.

Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill diverts tyres from landfill and reduces environmental impact. It’s Australian-made, reducing freight emissions, and helps minimise water, chemical, and maintenance use compared to natural grass. It’s a practical circular economy solution.

Yes. Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill works with most turf types, including landscape, sport, playground, pet, and rooftop turf. It’s best suited for pile heights above 30mm. For short-pile turf, a finer rubber grade may be more appropriate.

Minimal. Occasional brushing keeps fibres upright and the surface level. Top-ups may be needed after years in high-use zones. Unlike organic infills, Throughcycle Synthetic Turf Infill doesn’t decompose, and its low-maintenance nature saves time and ongoing costs.
