Pro Play is a proprietary engineered base system developed and produced by Schmitz Foam Products. Schmitz Foam Products is a Dutch firm in business since 1935 that specializes in the use of high quality cross-linked closed-cell polyethylene foam (PEX for short) for a variety of uses such as:

• Playgrounds - Optimal fall protection and impact absorption systems

• Sports Facilities - High performance engineered bases that enhance shock absorbency and drainage and eliminate the need for stone

• Tunnel Construction

• Roof Garden Drainage Solutions

• Construction Protection Solutions

• Land-Fill Drainage and Protection Systems

Pro Play engineered base systems for sports facilities have been in use for over a decade. Pro Play has been installed underneath a variety of synthetic turf systems for uses including playgrounds and playing fields.

Pro Play consists of a unique blend of high quality closed-cell polyethylene foam particles that are heat fused to form extremely strong but flexible materials.

Pro Play is manufactured with a geotextile fabric on one side to inhibit spoils migration throughout the system.

Pro Play is easy to install as it is produced with interconnecting dovetail joints which enables the panels to be snapped together in the field.

Pro Play eliminates the need for a full-depth stone base matrix, thereby eliminating a costly variable from field project design, while providing enhanced shock-absorbency and drainage capabilities lacking in the traditional stone base design.

Pro Play system benefits include:

• Optimal shock-absorption and energy return for superior playability

• High permeability both horizontally and vertically through the system

• Superior quality due to controlled factory production

• Ease of installation

• Elimination of stone base

• Environmentally friendly, consistent performance in all weather conditions

• Life cycle cost benefits from re-use of Pro Play system when turf is replaced

• Proven performance world-wide for over a decade as an engineered base for sports fields
