In the first system, the carpet is filled with a granular material up to approximately 3mm of the total height of the filaments, usually silica particular, which may represent approximately 90% of the total weight of the lawn. The game takes place in this composition of fiber and sand.

In the second system, much more common in modern fields, the carpet has a difference in height of the fibers: 50 to 60 mm. Here also there is a small layer of silica special, but only to serve as a backing for the carpet does not move during the game, in climates too hot or too cold or torrential rains. On this silica layer is then placed a rubber layer which meets certain standards for size and shape consistency (standards EN 933-1 and 933-2). 

This layer not filling the filaments lawn in height, on the contrary, must remain at least 3mm below the full height of the filament. Very high Filaments - no larger than 60mm keeps the rubber in the lawn, with a dispersion of the filling outwards and sideways. This dispersion or displacement filling rubber causes irregular height of the field at different points, which is not acceptable behavior lawn within the rules and limits of a good field. The rubber also moved the ball influences the interaction with the field, causing an unpredictable movement and harming the gameplay.
