End of life
100% recyclable: ELITEX®-Fiber remains a valuable material and is returned to the recycling loop after use.
Clean material quality
A defined composition with no foam and no unwanted foreign materials.
Improved shear strength
The tuned textile structures of ELITEX®-Fiber interlock better and give the top layer more stability.
Controlled elasticity
Springy and comfortable, yet never unnecessarily deep or spongy.
ELITEX® PERFORMANCE MATS
Less material.
More stability.
More stability. Less depth. Optimum performance.
ELITEX Performance Mats are the ideal complement to our ELITEX-Fiber. They improve stability and shear strength and allow a reduced top layer depth. For outdoor use they are perforated so that water can drain away; for indoor use they are non-perforated. Easy to lay and made from recyclable materials, the two components together form a well-engineered, resource-saving riding surface system.
BASE AND ADVICEGet advice now
Performancebegins beneath the surface
Even the best top layer can only reach its full potential on a properly prepared, stable base.
Whether it is a new arena, an indoor arena or an existing surface: we advise you on the right construction for your ELITEX®-Fiber. When renovating, it is laid as a separate textile top layer and not mixed into the existing sand.
