Types of Artificial Turf
Artificial turf has multiple factors that combine to determine what type of artificial grass is best suited for a specific project. From height and weight to permeability and color, each factor will affect how your artificial grass looks and performs. The most crucial factor is the material. Artificial turf is made using three different material types — nylon, polypropylene, and polyethylene. Each type of material may look, feel, and perform differently, so it is imperative to be aware of the various materials and how each impacts your project’s function and aesthetic.
Nylon
Nylon is extremely durable and perfect for high-traffic areas like athletic activities. The artificial blades of grass hold their original shape and will last for years. Nylon blades are very stiff and are not as flexible as traditional grass and closely resemble turf. Therefore, nylon artificial grass is commonly used for putting greens or athletic fields instead of landscape projects.
Polypropylene
Polypropylene is another standard artificial grass for putting greens. It is more economical and looks more realistic than traditional grass. Its use is restrictive because it is less durable and lacks heat resistance compared to the other materials. However, its lightweight, smooth surface, and flexibility make it ideal for putting greens.
Polyethylene
Polyethylene produces the most natural-looking artificial grass products on the market. It is the commonly used turf material because of its durability, functionality, ad pleasing aesthetic appearance. Polyethylene artificial turf is soft and sturdy. This pairing makes it adaptable to any residential, commercial, or athletic project. Most people prefer this high-quality, realistic-looking material for their projects.
