Every homeowner feels proud to own a lush grass lawn. Rich green grass looks impressive and forms a beautiful landscape. But, maintaining grass lawns is challenging. People need to put in their time and effort to maintain the lawn. They need to water it regularly and add fertilizers to keep it healthy. Weeds and pests are a constant threat to the grass. Synthetic turf or artificial grass is an easy way to own a lawn that doesn’t need much maintenance. It is installed on surfaces using synthetic turf adhesive. Artificial grass is made of synthetic material but looks like natural grass. It is durable and easy to maintain.
Types of artificial grass:
Nylon.
Nylon grass is the strongest type of artificial grass. It can withstand heavy weight and high temperatures without losing its shape. People need not worry about the grass getting crushed accidentally or damaged in the hot sun. It is not used often because of its high cost. It improves the stability of other artificial grasses when installed with them.
Polyethylene.
Most homeowners prefer polyethylene grass because it looks impressive with a bright green colour. It is softer and more natural than nylon grass. It doesn’t retain any odour because it is non-porous. Raking or brushing the grass from time to time ensures that the blades look their best.
Polypropylene.
Polypropylene grass is the least expensive and least durable artificial grass. It gets damaged when people walk or play on it. It is not installed in hot areas because it can’t withstand high temperatures. It loses its shape, and the lawn looks unnatural. It is an excellent option for indoor artificial grass.
Uses of synthetic turf adhesive:
Join grass pieces.
Generally, synthetic grass is available in 2 metres and 4-metre widths. Pieces of grass have to be joined to cover the dimension of the lawn. Synthetic turf adhesive is used to stick pieces of grass together and fill the lawn area.
Fix the grass to the surface.
Artificial grass is used to cover concrete patios and old decks. It is installed directly on concrete surfaces. Adhesives bond the backing of synthetic grass to surfaces like concrete and timber.
Secure the perimeter.
The artificial lawn should not move away from the surface on which it is installed. The grass should not move, and the edges should not collapse when people walk on them. It should stay in position. The turf adhesive holds the lawn in its place and prevents it from moving away.
Secure foam underlay.
Most artificial grass installations have foam underlays. They provide a soft feel to the feet when people walk on them. The softness of artificial grass gives the feeling of walking in the air. Foam underlays are installed on concrete surfaces and decks. It provides a flat surface to lay the grass. Foam underlay is secured to the surface with the help of turf adhesive.
Repair damaged grass.
A part of the lawn can get damaged due to excessive use or accidents, and it needs to be removed and replaced with new pieces. The damaged area of the lawn is removed and replaced by new grass pieces. They are installed using turf adhesive.
