4 Tips About Artificial Grass
1. Grass fiber wearing
During long time usage, artificial turfs will be worn out with fibers forking and splitting and even falling off, especially in places with heavy traffic like school playgrounds. Highly intense gaming and long time usage will significantly shorten the lifespan of artificial grass turfs. Therefore, products with good fiber quality and excellent anti-wearing ability should be chosen when people purchase artificial grass so as to reduce fiber wearing, avoid fiber falling off and turf replacements and finally lower economic losses.
2. Grass fiber color fading
There are several causes of color fading of grass fibers: (1). Low quality anti-aging agent or bad manufacturing process. (2). Environmental factors like regional UV radiation, acid rain erosion, industrial pollution, etc. (3). Low quality infilling materials that contaminate and fade the color of grass fibers.
3. Turf backing decays
The backing of fake grass is made of PP materials. When placed outdoors, it is exposed to wind, sunshine and rainfalls and is prone to cracking. Additionally, some venues lack a good sewage system. When the backing is soaked in water for a long time, it will decay and accelerate the aging process of the artificial grass turfs.
4. Loose seams
It is well known that an synthetic grass site is paved with several turfs and then applied with dedicated glues. So in installation, you must hire a highly professional installation team and purchase high quality glue dedicated to the adhesion of artificial grass. Otherwise, it is very likely for the white lines to become loose and the seams to crack. If properly done, the seams are supposed to have the same lifespan as the artificial grass field.
