Characteristics: Nylon artificial grasses are the strongest and most durable among the various synthetic turf types. They are highly resistant to wear and tear and can withstand extreme temperatures without losing their shape. This type of grass stays upright and is less likely to flatten under heavy use, making it a top choice for areas with constant activity.
Usage: Nylon is perfect for high traffic areas such as sports fields, playgrounds, and spaces with heavy outdoor furniture. It is also an excellent option for creating a putting green due to its toughness and consistent surface, which is ideal for golfing.
Pros and Cons:
- Pros: Extremely durable, strong, highly resistant to damage, maintains appearance over time.
- Cons: Feels stiff and less like natural grass, higher cost, and less comfortable underfoot for children and pets.
Polyethylene Artificial Grass
Characteristics: Polyethylene grass is known for its soft feel and realistic appearance, closely resembling natural grass. It is UV resistant, so it stays green and vibrant even after prolonged exposure to sunlight. This type is gentle on the skin, making it a favorite for homes, parks, and pet areas.
Usage: Ideal for residential lawns, gardens, and spaces where children and pets play. It’s also suitable for creating an inviting indoor artificial grass area, such as in playrooms or offices, thanks to its natural look and comfort.
Pros and Cons:
- Pros: Soft texture, realistic look, pet-friendly, easy to clean, and great for sunny locations.
- Cons: Less durable in high-traffic areas compared to nylon, slightly more expensive than polypropylene.
