The SMAI Astro Turf is a top-quality gym flooring option specifically designed for commercial applications. It has been manufactured to the highest standards using our unique weaving pattern that ensures the turf stays in a fully upright position without the assistance of sand or rubber granules required of traditional artificial grasses. The SMAI Astro Turf is UV treated and stabilised making it both suited for indoor and outdoor use as the colour will remain vibrant. This ensures it is a durable feature for functional training including all sled work.
Due to the high standard of our products there will be no visible gaps or steps between the two combined surfaces creating a professional and safe finish.
Nov 2017 Updated Model: This improved model will have more durable pile content meaning it won't flatten as much as the old model but still provide the same softness during use. If you lay the old model with the new model there will be slight variation between the rolls.

Can I install the turf myself?
We recommend installation by a professional carpet layer for a professional finish. However if you are planning on doing it yourself please follow our Installation Guide. If you are unsure please consult an expert.
Can I join 2 or more rolls together?
Rolls can be installed end-to-end or side-by-side depending on the area to be covered. You will need to purchase Turf Tape to get a seamless finish.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes our turf has UV protection coating and can withstand sun heat and wind. The backing on the turf is perforated allowing water to drain below.
Can I lay it on top of gym tiles?
No you will need to lay it on a hard flat surface such as concrete.
How do I clean the turf?
You can simply vacuum (if indoor) or hose down (if ourdoor) to clean away any loose fibres or dirt.

There are two reasons why I chose SMAI particularly the price and quality. Normally one would expect less quality with a cheaper product but this turf is perfect. Easy to lay easy to join easy to wash lasts a long time and makes training on it fun!
Our gym would use sleds and prowlers more than 99% of gyms so these get used multiple times a day we also do bear crawls agility drills sprints change of direction and most warm ups all upon the turf! Apart from being practical the turf also gives the gym a fantastic look. So many people comment on it asking questions like; where I got it from how much it was etc. It really is a talking point and sales point if nothing else but really it is all about being able to service the members with the best equipment. It keeps the noise down makes sleds and prowlers last longer through less wear and tear. What more can I say it is amazing!
CrossFit Norwest has had the success of 5 regional teams and 1 team to the games in America.
