Extra care is required.

A lawn installed on a gentle landscape slope is different from artificial turf installed on:

• stairs,
• steep ramps,
• retaining-wall edges,
• pedestrian access routes.

As the slope increases, the consequences of wet traction become more significant.

For areas where people regularly walk on steep or wet surfaces, a dedicated slip-resistant surface may be more appropriate than relying on artificial turf alone.

VivaTurf Non-Infill Artificial Turf

When evaluating VivaTurf non-infill artificial turf, slip resistance should be considered together with the yarn construction, tuft density, backing drainage and complete installation system.

For a specific project, the most useful documentation is the product-specific test report and installation specification. Buyers can request the relevant dry/wet slip-resistance data, drainage information and system documentation for the exact model being supplied.

VivaTurf’s non-infill product range covers sports and landscaping applications, so the appropriate specification should be selected according to the actual use rather than applying one slip-resistance specification to every product.

Final Takeaway

Non-infill artificial turf can provide good traction in wet weather, but it is not inherently “slip-proof.”

The most important factors are:

Yarn structure + tuft density + drainage + slope + surface cleanliness + complete installation system

For ordinary residential landscaping, proper drainage and routine cleaning are usually more important than simply choosing a particular fiber color or pile height.

For sports fields, schools and other regulated facilities, the decision should be based on the applicable standard and actual third-party test results, rather than a generic claim that the turf is “non-slip.”
