Draining support for synthetic surfaces
Stabilise your synthetic surfacing with a high-performance draining base
The Nidagreen and Nidasport cellular panels provide excellent stabilisation and efficient drainage for synthetic surface coverings.
They form a technical, durable support layer for artificial grass, shock-absorbing playground flooring, and resin-bound gravel surfaces.
Their polypropylene cellular structure temporarily stores rainwater within the cells, preventing water stagnation and allowing progressive, controlled drainage.
Lightweight, easy to handle and fast to install, they are suitable for sports fields, courtyards, terraces, and sealed flat roofs.
Our products for draining support layers
Nidagreen
Nidagreen is an extruded polypropylene panel, covered on both sides with a non-woven geotextile (PET 25 g/m²). The honeycomb panel is specifically designed to be installed between the synthetic surface layer and the ground (synthetic turf, shock-absorbing poured layers, resin-bound gravel, etc.).
Nidasport
These polypropylene honeycomb panels are designed to accommodate a synthetic turf system, with or without an intermediate shock-absorbing layer, for sports field applications. They enable the creation of a draining, flat and porous surface suitable for synthetic turf sports flooring.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Nidagreen and Nidasport?
Both systems are based on the same draining panel technology, but with distinct applications.
Nidagreen is designed for landscaping (terraces, courtyards, public spaces), while Nidasport is intended for synthetic sports surfaces.
How does the Nidagreen/Nidasport draining panel work?
The cellular structure temporarily stores rainwater inside the cells and releases it gradually and evenly.
This prevents water accumulation beneath the surface and ensures continuous, homogeneous drainage.
What types of surface coverings can be installed on top?
The panels support artificial grass, shock-absorbing playground flooring, and resin-bound gravel.
They stabilise the surface while maintaining its drainage properties.
Can Nidagreen be installed on a flat roof or concrete slab?
Yes. The panels can be installed directly on a waterproofed roof slab or concrete deck.
To ensure efficient horizontal drainage beneath the panels, a three-dimensional Geoflow drainage grid must first be installed.
This combination allows the creation of terraces, gardens or technical rooftop areas without compromising waterproofing, while guaranteeing optimal water evacuation.
