Artificial grass has become more and more popular as business owners and architects start to realize that they can save time, money, and water by buying and installing grass turf. At AMARCO Products, we are no stranger to the benefits of artificial grass, and with over 40 years of experience in the commercial flooring industry, we wanted to share what to consider before buying grass turf for your business.
Our flooring specialists are well aware that a budget is not the only thing to consider. We believe that incorporating artificial turf is an investment that can save you a lot more money and maintenance costs in the long run. Here are some tips on considerations when selecting artificial grass turf flooring.
How to Select Artificial Grass
Making the right choice when selecting artificial grass is vital to ensure you find a durable and long-lasting turf solution for your commercial business or facility. You’ll want to ensure you are considering traffic, density, durability, pile height, and color before buying.
Traffic
Before purchasing grass turf, consider the amount of foot traffic that a particular area sees on a daily basis. If the area sees heavy foot traffic, you will want to ensure you purchase a thicker, more durable turf solution.
Installing a thin turf in a high traffic area can cause the turf to wear out quicker and require replacement. A good quality grass turf flooring option is soft, durable, and has a non-abrasive texture.
Turf Pile Height
Grass turf pile height refers to the length of the blades of grass from the backing of the turf to the tip of it. Something important to consider when buying grass turf is that the taller the pile height, the heavier the blades of grass will be. As a result, this can make your grass turf area appear flat as the blades of grass turf will eventually bend over themselves.
Our flooring specialist believes that for a natural-looking landscape turf solution, consider a pile height of around 30-35 mm.
Artificial Grass Color
As anyone who has installed turf in their home or commercial space knows, there are various shades of green grass to choose from, and they are not all the same. Cheap grass turf solutions often come in a single shade of green that can be easily spotted as different from natural living grass. When buying grass turf, consider going for a more natural shade by choosing artificial grass that incorporates layered shades of green and brown.
Grass Turf Maintenance
A great consideration when buying grass turf is the decrease in maintenance costs when compared to natural grass. Maintaining your artificial grass every so often is the secret to having long-lasting artificial grass for years to come.
At AMARCO, a wholesale mat and rubber company, we believe that it is important to choose a turf that is easily maintained and can handle the weather conditions of your specific area. Sport turf is a great solution for outdoor sports and agility training.
Which Turf Should I Buy
While there are many considerations when deciding which turf to buy, it is important to keep in mind that you should always sample turf selections outside in the sun! Be sure to consider your budget, the type of grass you are looking for, and the density of the turf. Grass turf will make a great application in:
- Outdoor playgrounds
- Recreational Spaces
- Specialty sports areas
- Baseball fields
- Indoor/outdoor sports facilities
- Sports fields
- Pet areas
- Crossfit gyms
- Collegiate workout rooms
- Weighted sled lanes
- Cross-train facilities
