How to choose high-quality artificial turf?

Artificial turf, as a material for sports venues with both durability and durability, is very popular with athletes all over the world. So, how to choose high-quality artificial turf? SURPASS will help you, these five points are very important.

Artificial turf was born in the 1960s. In the 1980s, improved second-generation products appeared. In the 1990s, an artificial turf with an infill system was developed, which imitated the appearance, foot feel and sports performance of natural grass, laying the foundation for the development of the artificial turf system.

Modern artificial turf systems have improved sports performance, safety and overall appearance, making them popular choices for sports such as football, rugby and hockey.

At present, there are many different brands and different types of artificial grass products on the market. The quality is uneven. As a purchaser, how do schools make the right choice?

Let's take a look at the consequences first-if you buy the wrong lawn, it won't be long before there will be only sand and rubber particles left on the ground. On the contrary, if you choose wisely, you will get a beautiful and durable lawn, which can provide you with a stable and safe sports field.

Therefore, whether you want to build a football field or a multifunctional field, it is necessary to ask the artificial turf manufacturer the following questions, which will help you make the right decision.

1/  What kind of artificial grass fiber?

You definitely want to use the lawn for several years, so thicker and wider grass fibers are the best choice. Many artificial lawns are made of only fine monofilament. They are popular because the leaves look more like real grass.

However, monofilament artificial grass is easier to split and pull out, requiring more maintenance time (including time to remove the grass). With the loss of a large amount of grass filaments, there is soon only filler left on the site (the filler fills the site with elasticity, keeps the artificial grass blades upright, and helps drainage).

Remember that thicker and wider grass fibers are always good (the thinner the fibers, the weaker they are).

2/  How to spin artificial grass fibers?

You need to ask the artificial grass manufacturer whether the grass fiber is glued to the base cloth or is formed into a whole through weaving technology.

If the grass fiber is stuck, it is easier to pull out. The weaving technology allows the grass fiber to have a higher density and combination.

3/  What is the shelf life of the lawn?

The length of the shelf life is related to the durability of the product. The 7-year warranty is the industry standard, and the 9-year warranty is the "golden" standard.

Please note that many manufacturers implement a proportional guarantee scheme. Over time, the value of this guarantee is very limited.

4/  How to improve the safety of the lawn?

A complete artificial turf system (turf, cushions and infill) will ensure that you have the safest possible ground.

Damping pads and padding protect players from shocks. In the case of tufted grass, the grass fibers stick together in rows to form a "valley", and the filling is easily displaced, leaving some areas with almost no filling and reducing the protection of the players. In the case of weaving grass, the tightly connected grass fibers will keep the filler in place, so that the field can always maintain good performance.

In order to improve the safety of the lawn, shock-absorbing mats are the best insurance. In this way, when children are impacted, there will always be something to protect them.

5/  How is the athletic performance of the lawn?

When it comes to the sports performance of artificial turf, whether the venue can maintain the consistency of performance is the key. Exercise on artificial grass, the foot feels like natural grass, but also improve the flexibility of the player's running. If the padding on the lawn is constantly moving, it is not conducive to the player's performance on the court, and it will also affect the natural rolling and rebound of the ball.

When you choose an artificial turf, you should take the time to ask the right questions. Buy the right product and you will have an artificial turf field with great performance and appearance, even after years of use. If you choose a poor-quality artificial turf, your site will soon become uneven and not so safe.
