If you’re a home or business owner and you’re considering investing in artificial turf, you likely want to make the most of your investment. One of the primary reasons why people make the switch to synthetic turf is that, unlike natural grass, artificial grass doesn’t fade or lose its color so easily. However, this isn’t to say that artificial turf is completely impervious to discoloration from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. To protect your synthetic turf and maximize the effectiveness of your new artificial grass landscaping, your best option is to choose UV-protected artificial turf, such as the products installed by the experts at Grizzly Turf.
UV-PROTECTED SYNTHETIC GRASS PREVENTS DISCOLORATION
The sun is the natural enemy of all things plastic; this includes patio furniture, toys, and of course, artificial turf. Most untreated synthetic turf surfaces are made from nylon, polyurethane, or polypropylene, which are all different types of plastic. With UV-treated artificial grass, each blade is protected from the sun, leaving your lawn to stay green for longer.
UV-TREATED ARTIFICIAL TURF HELPS PREVENT BLADES FROM SPLITTING
When exposed to high levels of sunlight, the threads of your artificial grass blades can start to come apart. The weakened blades are further compromised with foot traffic and heavy use of the synthetic turf, which results in the artificial turf grass being ruined and exposing the artificial nature of your synthetic grass lawn. The technologies behind UV-treated artificial turf strengthen the blades and allow them to withstand the elements!
