Covia

Covia provides BESTSAND™ sports turf sand solutions for both natural and artificial turf field applications. The company supplies high-quality silica sand designed to optimize field performance, improve athlete safety, and reduce maintenance requirements.

For natural turf installations, Covia offers sand products that support sand-based systems and sand-amended native systems. These solutions contain sand ratios ranging from 80 to 100 percent pure sand, often blended with amendments to promote grass development. The sand-based approach reduces soil compaction risks and provides excellent drainage capabilities compared to traditional native soil systems.

In artificial turf applications, Covia's sports turf sand serves as infill material, blended with rubber crumb to support synthetic grass fibers made from polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon. The sand functions as ballast to stabilize the turf surface while keeping fibers upright and facilitating proper field drainage to prevent water ponding.

Covia's BESTSAND products serve multiple sports field applications, including football, soccer, golf, and tennis facilities. The company's mineral solutions aim to ease installation processes for field construction teams while creating surfaces that meet the performance demands of athletes at various competitive levels. The sand products address critical factors in sports field planning, from playability and safety to long-term maintenance efficiency.
