Why artificial grass outperforms natural turf for rooftops.
Rooftop Greenery
Green rooftops are making a difference in cities across the world. Green roofs deliver shade, absorb heat from the atmosphere, and decrease the roof surface and surrounding air temperatures. These kinds of rooftops are a perfect way to add to square footage and support mental health by adding a green outdoor escape in the concrete jungle. By using synthetic, you can increase the possibilities for implementing a creative space in an otherwise boring spot.
Benefits of Synthetic Grass Rooftops
There are numerous benefits to installing synthetic turf on a rooftop. Here are some of our favorite reasons:
Easy to Clean
Synthetic grass is very simple to keep clean and maintained.
Lightweight
It doesn’t pose any safety risks or hazards compared to natural grass — such as root and water damage.
Offers Insulation
Protects interiors of buildings against intense heat and can provide resistance to decomposition, mold, or mildew.
Reduced Maintenance
Synthetic turf will last for a very long time and requires minimal maintenance if installed properly.
Adds Value
Provides a quick escape while in the midst of the concrete jungle.
Safe Space for Kids and Pets
With synthetic turf, your pets and kids will not be susceptible to harmful weedkillers, fertilizers, and pesticides.
Create A Unique Look
Artificial turf makes it easy to put turf where traditional grass won’t grow, and you have the ability to make unusual figures, or even place them on walls if you wish.
Which Fiber Type Should You Choose?
There are several factors to weigh when choosing artificial turf, much less what would be a good fit for a rooftop. Here are a few critical elements to keep in mind when evaluating options:
Nylon is a long-lasting fabric, but outdoor spaces are susceptible to expansion/contraction and will probably fade.
We recommend nylon indoors or situations with extreme commercial traffic or non-fill locations. All non-infill nylon Shaw products observe strict flammability testing to satisfy building codes.
We recommend using an infill PE tape product on a business rooftop.
PE tape is durable without sacrificing performance; high grade PE resins are resistant to fading and not prone to contraction and expansion. Our Play-Safe collection offers the best results for this application.
