Every type of synthetic sports surface has a lifespan and will have to be resurfaced when it reaches the end of this period. This is because it will begin to lose its performance properties and play characteristics like ball bounce, ball roll, consistency, slide resistance and its drainage properties will begin to degrade as its passes the end of its life.
Over the lifespan of a pitch the surfaces performance will soon be affected once it reaches the end of its lifespan. Line markings can break or split after years of use and even drainage.
With an STM resurface project these problems are resolved as a new, high performance pitch can replace your old, worn one. A resurfaced pitch will perform much better and they look great too.
