Surface 01 · Performance turf
OSMS supplies five published 50 mm constructions from 12,000 to 16,000 Dtex. Dual-colour yarns, mill-tested backings, and bases built for Indian sun, monsoon and weekday academy traffic.
Overview
A football pitch lasts as long as the yarn, the infill routine and the base under it. We quote the fibre first, then the drainage raft, then the install kit - so the field you sign is the field that is still playable in year eight.
01
Yarn, backing, infill, seaming tape and silica are specified together - not sold as a roll and a shrug.
02
Playability after rain is a base and falls problem first. We survey that before we talk colour.
03
Pile, stitch, density and backing are published for every construction - not a generic PE label.
04
White turf for markings stays readable. No annual repaint cycle on the playing lines.
Fibre
Dtex is the mass in grams of 10,000 metres of yarn. A higher number means a heavier, thicker blade - more material in each fibre, more recovery after a slide, and a longer life under studs. It is not a quality badge on its own. Recreational five-a-side is happy at 12K. A school that trains six days a week wants 12K–14K as a floor. Full-contact club and tournament play belongs in 16K.
12K · Foundation
Diamond and Prime CM. Light-to-medium weekly hours. Cost-led builds that still need a true football feel.
14K · Performance
Diamond also lists PE 14,000. Academy and school grounds with daily training and weekend fixtures.
16K · Club / tournament
Pioneer, Libra and Strength Pro. The band most commercial pitches should live in.

Install kit
The same adhesive, tape, sand and netting our crews use on handover.
01
12 kg glue + 1.2 kg hardener · 90:10 mix · about 60 minutes pot life.
02
0.3 m × 100 m rolls for factory-edge seams that stay flat under infill.
03
Engineered grain for non-infill systems, typically around 1.4 kg per sqft.
04
Garware braided or knotless nets, commonly 10 m × 30 m, quoted with the pitch.
Care
An infill football pitch wants a routine, not a rescue budget. Monthly brushing adds years; skipping it spends them.
Weekly
Clear leaves and litter. Debris trapped in infill holds water and shortens fibre life.
Monthly
Drag-brush the full field to lift the pile and put infill back where sliding has moved it.
Seasonally
Check infill depth at goalmouths and the centre circle - they empty first - then top up.
Annually
Deep clean, decompaction, and a seam plus line inspection before the heavy season.
