Heated pitch - FIFA and UEFA guidelines
Football is an example of a discipline subject to extremely restrictive and rigorous regulations. However, the infrastructure intended for the aforementioned sport is also subject to established standards. What kind?
The games held during the autumn season generate extremely difficult challenges. Rainfall and even frost require the use of specialist solutions that will protect footballers from dangerous incidents.
That is why the International Football Association Federation and the Union of European Football Associations have developed a series of guidelines. The designed instructions present the technical requirements for turf heating systems, especially in the context of even heat distribution, required thermal insulation thickness, and thermal parameter control settings.
But that's not all! The aforementioned directives also cover aspects of reliable testing and certification of implemented turf heating systems, as well as safety and effective maintenance. This means that efficient control of the condition of the turf requires great experience and expert knowledge.
What is the heated turf system?
So, how does the mechanism of heated turf work? The entire structure is installed under the surface of the turf and consists of a network of special pipes and a heating device.
Properly spreading the net allows 
even distribution of hot water and, consequently, effective heating of the surface. Additionally, the structure prepared in this way is covered with thermal insulation, which prevents heat loss.
An extremely important part of the comprehensive solution is the control system itself. A special program allows for continuous monitoring of current conditions and adjustment of the temperature to individual game requirements or weather conditions.
The overall system ensures that the grass maintains its natural condition, regardless of the prevailing circumstances. To guarantee the highest quality of play, heated turf systems must be implemented based on a professional project. So, is this type of investment expensive?
How much does a turf heating investment cost?
The answer to this question is not clear-cut. The final cost depends on many factors, including the size of the turf itself, but also the type of system, the geographical characteristics of the location and personalized requirements.
However, there are several basic categories of expenses related to the installation of a turf heating system. The first type includes the aforementioned outline of the entire investment, but this is only the beginning of the fees.
The next classes of financial outlays also include the remuneration of an experienced assembly team and the price of systematic maintenance. Only such a thorough investment will ensure the efficient functioning of the technology for many seasons. As a result, the final cost estimate can reach a value from several hundred thousand to even several million zlotys.
KAN-therm Football System
It is the selection of the appropriate model of turf heating that largely influences the scale of the investment. The KAN-therm system represents a comprehensive set of products dedicated to the installation of heating, but also cooling of surfaces.
Importantly, the installation of the described model is preceded by an appropriate technical analysis of the future implementation. This means that the KAN-therm system consists only of the necessary elements of the highest quality and is fully adapted to the investment being made. The effects?
There are really many benefits of such an individual strategy of action. The proprietary research and development laboratory guarantees the durability and reliability of the structure, and at the same time great flexibility of use. The double perspective of operation, heating and cooling, allows for increasing the practicality of the used surface!
How does the KAN-therm Football system affect the implementation of the investment?
It is worth emphasizing that the use of a modern turf heating system is beneficial for athletes, but also for all entities involved in the investment. Why?
First of all, KAN-therm is a comprehensive solution. Our own laboratory base, combined with design and implementation documentation, means that the involvement of additional service companies is not necessary.
The next point is the experience of specialists. The presence of experts makes the installation of the entire system extremely efficient and trouble-free, without the risk of delays.
Additionally, the decision to implement the KAN-therm system means full support at every stage of the project. This means that a team of experts supervises the work process - from presenting the concept to supervising the final work of the assembly teams.
What does the KAN-therm system include?
This exceptionally multi-faceted system consists of several key links that guarantee reliability. The first component is large-area collectors, and their technical parameters are adapted to the needs of a given investment.
The additional elements are, however, plastic pipe strips and mounting pins. The double design variant allows for the installation of pipes of different diameters, ensuring personalized adaptation of the system.
Projects using the KAN-therm Football system
A well-thought-out mode of operation makes 
that the KAN-therm system is used in many modern football stadiums. A perfect example is the facility of the Stomil Olsztyn and Pogoń Szczecin teams!
However, we should not forget about other users of such a progressive system as KAN-therm. Apart from the sports sector, the technology is also used for effective and fast heating of communication routes in factories and production plants, guaranteeing full functionality of logistics routes.
What's more, KAN-therm is a reliable support for animal breeders, as well as all public utility facilities. As a result, the expanded technical potential is appreciated by representatives of other industries.
