Choose Fake Grass for Low-Maintenance
When most people think of fake grass, the first image in their mind is that of old Astro-turf at a mini-golf or putt-putt course. However, fake grass has come a long way in the last few years, and now is used in many different applications. A fake grass lawn or field has many advantages over real turf: it is low- or no-maintenance, it takes zero water, and it is very durable and holds up well to extensive use.
Many schools and cities are turning to fake grass for athletic fields for these reasons. They know that real turf doesn?t hold up well to too much use, and they are looking to conserve water and reduce their water use. Synthetic turf fields meet all of these requirements.
Golf courses use fake grass on their courses in areas of high traffic, particularly on the practice range. Many avid golfers also use fake grass when they want to install a practice putting green at their home. Putting Green is a type of fake grass designed specifically for golf courses and is made of polyamide. The pile height is 15 mm and the Putting Green comes in an olive color.
Fake grass does not just have to be green in color. Fake grass can come in a rainbow of colors such as black, dark blue, blue, orange, red, emerald and many more color options. College football fans know that the fake grass turf at Boise State University in Idaho is a bright blue that matches their school color. Some of the synthetic materials used to make fake grass include polyethylene, polyamide and polypropylene. The size and length of the fake grass is varied and you can have fake grass be cut to fit any area.
Fake grasses are tested to be safe and non-flammable. These grasses are safe for your children and pets and should comply with safety standard BS4790. Fake grass is a great option in any situation whether it is for commercial or domestic use.
