[GUIDE] Tips for buying artificial grass

The only way to know if you are buying quality synthetic material is to understand its features and components so you can compare them. Make sure to buy high-quality artificial grass with strong, durable fibers.

Factors to consider:

  • Fiber height: depending on preferences and the intended use for the grass.
  • Yarn or fiber: the visible part of artificial grass, which can be made of different materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon.
  • Distance between the yarn stitching rows.
  • Linear number of stitches per meter in each stitch line.
  • Final number of fibers (or yarns) in each stitch.
  • Drainage layer: this is a layer of permeable material placed beneath the artificial grass to drain water.
  • Primary backing layer. The support base onto which the fibers are anchored and secured.
  • Secondary backing layer. This is the finishing layer. It is important for durability.
  • Decitex (DTEX). Yarn measurement unit comprising the weight in grams per 10,000 meters of yarn. The lower the Dtex, the thinner or narrower the yarn fibers are.
  • Weather compatibility: Make sure the grass you choose is resistant to the specific weather conditions in your area.
  • Warranty: Make sure to buy artificial grass with a warranty that protects you against defects and quality issues.

Steps for choosing artificial grass

  1. Location where we want to carry out the installation.
  2. Square meters of artificial grass needed (mark any water drains on the sketch).
  3. Surface area where it will be placed: whether on a concrete slab or soil.
  4. Usage or foot traffic: Low usage and traffic: between 40 mm to around 60 mm in height. Medium usage and traffic: between 25 mm to around 40 mm in height. High usage and traffic in outdoor areas: from 9 mm to around 40 mm in height.
  1. Choose color, texture, shades, and softness.
  2. Always check warranties.

 

In addition to these factors, it is also important to consider the cost, maintaining a balance between price and quality to get the best value in the long term.
