Why Artificial Grass Gets Hot
Artificial grass gets hot because it absorbs and retains heat from the sun. Unlike natural grass, which has moisture that helps keep it cool, synthetic grass lacks this cooling mechanism. The materials used in artificial grass, such as plastic and rubber, absorb sunlight and can get very warm on sunny days. Darker colors usually absorb more heat, making the turf even hotter. Without a way to dissipate this heat efficiently, the surface temperature of artificial grass can soar, especially during the summer months.
