Infill materials play a crucial role in keeping your artificial grass cool. Different types of infill can impact how hot your turf will get.
Types of Infill
1. Silica Sand: Silica sand is a popular choice for infill because it’s heavy and helps keep the turf in place. While it doesn’t retain much heat, it is not the best for cooling.
2. Rubber: Ground rubber infill is known for its cushioning properties but can absorb a lot of heat, making the turf hot on sunny days.
3. Organic Options: Some new infill materials are made from organic materials like cork or coconut fibers. These materials help keep the turf cooler and are more environmentally friendly.
