Htn Contracting offers recycled porous surfacing solutions for golf course pathways

Htn Contracting entered the golf maintenance industry in 2017 when it launched its innovative H-Flex recycled porous surfacing solution for golf course pathways. Since then Htn has also developed a range of solutions using H-Flex materials to overcome some long standing maintenance issues. These have included H-Flex Safe-Step and H-Flex Bunker-Base.

H-Flex Surfacing uses a blend of aggregate, dense recycled rubber and high tensile binder. These are blended on site by skilled teams to meet the specific on-site conditions. H-Flex offers many benefits to help course managers. The durability and porosity of the H-Flex material is remarkable especially when used with an appropriate stone base. Using H-Flex, course managers can provide all year round dry pathways for buggies and players on foot, in the most difficult of conditions. H-Flex can also be laid over most existing stone pathways.

H-Flex offers a wide range of unique benefits:

Eco-friendly 2.5 recycled tyres per m2
Extremely porous and free draining
Prevents ice formation
Durable and hard wearing
Long life comparable with conventional surfacing
Quick to install.

John McLoughlin, course manager at Warrington Golf Club, said: “I have worked with David at Htn for the last three seasons and have been delighted with the H-Flex Surfacing and the all-round service. Using H-Flex we have successfully addressed several longstanding problematic pathways. We have installed H-Flex on significant inclines, overcoming safety concerns for buggies and foot traffic. The H-Flex Safe-Step solution has transformed many of our old timber steps, providing dry, non-slip surfaces. Our members are extremely pleased with the improvements. I am happy to endorse Htn and their H-Flex processes.”
