NZ Debut for WETT surfaces
22/08/2008
The new WETT is a surface designed to require less water to reach its maximum potential. Savings in water was an initiative outlined by FIH and through much testing the new WETT product was born. This surface is a polyethylene surface with non directional yarn meaning the surface has no grain like many other surfaces.
WETT is a tight dense carpet which has been found to have an excellent memory meaning it does not fall over, but instead holds its upright qualities for far longer. This makes the surface feel very smooth for the stick and with minimal resistance during a push or sweep. Feedback from players is excellent.
Kristin School will become NZ's first secondary school to lay a WETT surface. Since it does not require constant watering and can be used under both wet and dry conditions, it's the perfect surface for schools.
