Sharkstooth
Indoor
An indoor slit-film system built around the only Sharktooth fiber-slitting technology in the Western Hemisphere. 120-micron fiber thickness for indoor cleat traffic on a subfloor. Routinely passes 100,000 cycles on Lisport. No UV concerns because the carpet lives under a roof. The grass-like aesthetic of an outdoor field on the floor of a field house.
Sharkstooth is the 120-micron slit-film canopy our indoor systems are built around. The yarn comes off the same Dadeville extrusion line that runs Predator. Indoor field houses run heavy hours, and the canopy holds its read under field-house lighting.

Indoor turf fails differently. Build for the failure modes that actually happen.
Outdoor synthetic turf is engineered around UV. Indoor turf does not need to be. The Sharkstooth slit-film fiber is engineered around the failure modes that actually happen inside a building: cleat traffic on a subfloor, infill displacement around high-traffic gates, and seam wear under daily use. The 120-micron fiber thickness is the answer to all three.
Sharktooth 120µ
Sharktooth is a proprietary slit-film fiber-slitting process. Sprinturf is the sole manufacturer of Sharktooth technology in the Western Hemisphere. The 120-micron fiber thickness is what makes the indoor canopy survive eight years of cleat traffic on a subfloor and still read like grass under the lights.

What sports is Sharkstooth Indoor built for?
Field houses, multi-sport indoor venues, training facilities, sport-performance gyms, and football, soccer, and lacrosse practice indoors.
Sharkstooth Indoor is engineered for cleat traffic on a subfloor inside a building, which is a different load case than outdoor turf and a different load case than a basketball-style hardwood court.
What is Sharktooth fiber-slitting technology?
Sharktooth is a proprietary fiber-slitting process that produces a longer-lasting, more grass-like slit-film yarn. Sprinturf is the sole manufacturer of Sharktooth technology in the Western Hemisphere.
The 120-micron fiber thickness gives the carpet the cleat-traffic resilience and the natural-grass aesthetic that indoor venues need without the maintenance load of real grass.
Why is there no UV concern indoors?
Indoor turf is not exposed to direct sunlight. UV degradation, the main long-term failure mode for outdoor synthetic turf fibers, does not apply.
Sharkstooth Indoor is engineered around the failure modes that actually exist indoors: cleat traffic on a subfloor, infill displacement, and seam wear at high-traffic gates.
How durable is Sharkstooth Indoor?
Sharkstooth Indoor routinely passes 100,000 cycles on Lisport accelerated testing. The 120-micron fiber thickness is what carries the indoor cleat-traffic load through year eight without the canopy laying flat.
Where is Sharkstooth manufactured?
All Sharktooth fibers are extruded at the Sprinturf plant in Dadeville, Alabama. Tufting and coating happen at the Sprinturf plant in Chatsworth, Georgia.
Sprinturf is the sole Western Hemisphere manufacturer of Sharktooth fiber-slitting technology and the only North American synthetic turf company that owns extrusion through tufting through coating in-house.
What is the warranty?
Sharkstooth Indoor carries an 8-year limited warranty against fiber failure, seam separation, and excessive color fade. As of 2026, Sprinturf has not had a fiber failure on a warranted field since 2010.
Buying through Sourcewell, OMNIA, BuyBoard, or TIPS-USA?
Sharkstooth Indoor is on every contract. Most school districts and university facilities can piggyback an existing co-op contract and skip a full RFP.
