Is your synthetic grass heating up and feeling a bit too stiff? Rubber infill can make the ground feel scorching, turning your pitch into a sauna. In contrast, cork granulate for artificial grass can bring surface temperatures down by as much as 30%. With the EU now restricting microplastics, cork granules give you a greener, safer, and more comfortable solution.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING CORK GRANULATE FOR ARTIFICIAL GRASS?
Cork infill provides a softer, more secure, and comfortable surface. It anchors the turf more effectively, stopping it from shifting out of place. It also guards the field from UV light and damp conditions, making it last longer. Since it softens impact and helps prevent slipping, it's perfect for active use.
IS GRANULATED CORK INFILL COMPATIBLE WITH ALL TYPES OF SYNTHETIC GRASS?
Yes – it can be used on sports fields, terrace setups, home gardens, or decorative lawns. cork improves how the turf feels and performs over time.
DOES NATURAL CORK INFILL HELP LOWER ARTIFICIAL TURF TEMPERATURES?
Yes – cork doesn’t get hot as fast as other materials like rubber. Since it has low thermal conductivity, it heats slowly and remains cool longer. That’s a huge plus for users during hot days on the pitch.
HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH CORK INFILL TO USE?
1 kg of cork granulate will cover 2 m² of synthetic turf. So, for a 20 m² lawn, you’ll need 10 kg. That makes estimating the right amount super straightforward.
WHAT GRANULATED CORK PACKAGE SIZES CAN I BUY?
You can get cork infill in eight different weights. There are practical packages of 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, or 20 kg. For bigger areas, you can order it in bulk pallet form: a half pallet holds 180 kg, one full pallet is 360 kg, two pallets contain 720 kg, and three pallets add up to 1080 kg.
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO APPLY NATURAL CORK?
- First, apply a thin and level sand base over the whole pitch – aim for 2–5 mm in thickness. This helps the cork settle nicely and keeps things flat.
- Next, spread the cork evenly over the turf. Don’t pile too much in one go. Use a rake to gently move it around so it spreads smoothly.
- If you notice spots with too much or too little infill, simply redistribute and balance the surface again.
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO STORE EXTRA CORK INFILL?
Keep it stored in a cool, dry space, away from direct sunlight. Use closed bags or containers so it stays clean and doesn’t absorb moisture.
CAN CORK INFILL BE BLENDED WITH OTHER FILL MATERIALS?
It’s best to avoid mixing it. Natural cork works great on its own – adding other fillers can affect how well it works and reduce its overall benefits.
IS CORK INFILL A FIRE RISK?
No – cork is slower to ignite than materials like rubber. Also, it doesn’t release dangerous fumes when it burns, which makes it a safer pick all around.
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I REPLACE GRANULATED CORK?
Cork granulate doesn’t need frequent replacement. Occasional inspection and topping up is usually all that’s required. Typically, it only needs changing after 5 to 10 years of use.
DOES CORK GRANULATE FOR ARTIFICIAL GRASS HAVE ANY SAFETY CERTIFICATION?
Yes, our cork infill is certified by the National Institute of Public Health (PZH) in Poland. It’s completely skin-friendly – no irritation, no allergies. We’re the only supplier in Poland offering cork granules with this certification.
IS NATURAL CORK SUSTAINABLE AND LEGAL IN THE EU?
Yes, cork is 100% natural and free of microplastics. It fully meets the EU rules banning microplastic use in sport-related surfaces.
WILL NATURAL CORK INFILL SHIFT OR MOVE DURING USE?
No – if you’ve laid the base correctly with sand and applied the cork properly, it will hold in place well. Cork naturally clings to the grass fibres, so it doesn’t move around.
Using cork granules is a straightforward and effective way to boost the quality of your pitch – making play safer, more pleasant, and comfortable. It cushions impacts, helps prevent slipping, and stays cooler than rubber. Most importantly – it’s a 100% natural material.
#1 RESISTS MOVEMENT
The density of cork infill used on synthetic pitches (typically between 180–200 kg/m³) means it won’t get blown away or easily shift. It settles neatly between the blades, keeping your pitch solid and tidy-looking.
With particles sized between 1–2 mm, cork granules are ideal for artificial grass – they distribute smoothly between the fibres and don’t clump up.
#2 PLAY SAFELY AND COMFORTABLY
Cork delivers a soft and safe surface for all ages – from kids to adults. Its natural shock-absorbing qualities help soften falls, making injuries less likely. Plus, it improves grip, reducing the chance of slips.
With synthetic turf rules changing in the EU – phasing out plastic and rubber fillers – cork is a standout choice. It’s fully certified, natural, and aligns perfectly with environmental legislation.
#3 CORK OR RUBBER – WHAT'S BETTER?
While rubber infill has been popular for years, it comes with issues. It gets very hot in the sun, which can lead to burns. It also tends to smell and may release harmful chemicals. Though it does absorb shocks, it becomes stiff in the cold – increasing injury risks.
Cork is a safer, eco-conscious solution. It stays cooler, even during heatwaves, for a more pleasant playing experience. Being entirely natural and biodegradable, it’s also a greener choice that helps cut down CO₂ emissions.
#4 A SMARTER, COOLER, QUIETER CHOICE
Cork looks great with synthetic turf, making the surface resemble real soil more closely. It protects the structure of the turf and keeps your pitch looking fresh and natural over time.
It also helps cool the surface – dropping pitch temperature by up to 30%, which really makes a difference in summer. And thanks to its sound-absorbing properties, cork reduces the overall noise during games – especially handy for busy urban pitches.
