1. Pile Height: Pile height refers to the length of the artificial grass, measured from the backing to the tip of the grass blades. It's a crucial factor to consider when choosing the right artificial grass for your backyard. Your decision should align with the intended use of the area, taking into account factors like foot traffic, aesthetics, and application.
For a beautiful and realistic lawn that offers greater cushioning and a softer touch underfoot, opt for a longer pile height. This choice creates the perfect environment for relaxation and recreation.
If your outdoor space experiences high foot traffic or is frequently used by an active family, a shorter pile height is recommended for enhanced durability.
2. Thatching Fiber: GP Sports' artificial grass features thatching fiber tufted into the base. This unique feature mimics the springy and supportive characteristics of natural grass, ensuring your artificial grass maintains its shape and withstands heavy traffic while remaining soft and lush underfoot.
3. Substrate (Sand Infill): The substrate, also known as sand infill, serves as the base for your artificial grass. It's fibrillated throughout the sub-surface area during installation. GP Sports uses crushed rock for the substrate, offering excellent drainage properties and a firm, durable base that can be easily spread over any area.
4. Kiln Dried Sand: Kiln dried sand, with a maximum granular diameter of 1mm, is an excellent choice for artificial grass. Unlike other sands, it lacks small rocks, providing a more comfortable feel underfoot. Additionally, it helps weigh down the grass blades, keeping them upright.
