Artificial Grass Terminology

Woven backing artificial grass products were made by a manufacturing process name “knitted” which is a very old way of producing carpet or turf products with very low efficiency and production output. Almost all of our current turf products are “tufted” instead of “knitted” due to above reasons, and we have discontinued our knitted turf products (or woven backing products) about three years ago and they are not currently available, however, there still might be some old information on some reference pages of our website that hasn’t been taken down yet. If you have any other questions, please call us at 877 796 8873 or email us at: [email protected], thank you.

As the artificial grass manufacturer, we do not offer onsite testings ourselves, however we can help you to make arrangement on such inquiry. Please fill out this online form with you detailed contact and project information and one of our experts will reach out to you to help you further, thank you: https://www.globalsynturf.com/free-quote

In my opinion, face weight of artificial grass products matters regardless the application. The face weight of an artificial grass product is one of the key specifications showing how much materials used: the higher the faceweight, the more of the materials and more dense and tends to be last longer which is a simple interpretation of law of physics. However, artificial grass should not be all amount faceweight, it should be a balance of faceweight, realistic look and feel and cost: we call such a balanced combination “value”. We guarantee that our artificial grass products offers the best value on the market, even products lower faceweight will last you a long time to meet the most stringent application requirements.

We don’t offer any of the bulk products that used for artificial grass sub base. People normally get such bulk products from local landscape products suppliers. As far as I know that some installers use the top soil for the top layer of the turf sub base buildup which goes underneath the turf. The typical sub base installation has two layers: drain rock and decomposed granite or sometimes top soil which needs to be coarse enough for drainage purpose, too fine of the top soil can be too dense to drain water properly.

Most of our artificial grass fibers are engineered to certain shapes which help to reflect sunlight and reduce the heat absorption. Among all our turf products, I will say the “W” or “M” shaped fibers will do a little better job to reflect the lights in my opinion. You will fins such fiber profiles in products such as our WBlade series, Riviera Monterey series, Double W series, Premium M series and Full Recycle series.

You are perfectly right about the flammability testing: our artificial grass is not flammable! Each test goes through 8 steps and our turf won’t catch on fire on any step and rated “excellent”. You can find the details of our testing on this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs

By clicking on each product, all testing date will show up. Please feel free to contact us by phone or email ([email protected]) if you have any further questions.

In my opinion, the density of artificial grass always matters regardless you are first time buyer or not. It is one of the key factors of turf which indicates the amount of raw materials used and resilience level: it is simply the law of physics that the thicker of the product, the more resilience you will get. However, we have engineered our products to be at the best possible level that achieving the resilience or durability yet still not to waste much of the materials. By that said, people might not notice much of the difference when choosing our products with different density if no close attentions paid on them. Our S Blade series have the perfect density level, and you are definitely looking at one of the best artificial grass on the market. Honestly, you won’t need to know much about the densities if SBlade is the product lines you consider, you will be enjoy any product on this series for a very long time.

We have a previous post of answers for the definition of Dtex of artificial grass, please visit this link for details: https://www.globalsynturf.com/what-is-dtex-in-artificial-grass

As far as how the Dtex will be a factor for your decision making to choose an artificial grass product, this is the general plain rule of thumb for you: the higher the Dtex, the thicker the fiber. So if you would like your artificial grass to be thicker which means more materials and heavier and therefore should be more expensive, you will want to go with higher Dtex, vice versa.

Artificial grass is made by different production batches, each production batch is being referred as “dyelot” in the industry term. Even though all formulas are the same, exact same product can be slightly differently in color shade from production to production: this is the nature of making artificial grass which is exactly the same for carpet. People won’t be able to notice the difference from different production batches (or dyelots) until they put them next to each other. Therefore, it is extremely important to order the same dyelot of products for the same project especially when you have to piece turf together. However, if your projects are apart from each other, you can surely use different dyelots: for an example, you can use one dyelot for you back yard and another dyelot for your front yard.

Global Syn-Turf is the company to pioneer engineered blades technology on the market! As you can see that we name our majority of products with the blade names. Ever since we introduced engineered blades, we have enjoyed a huge success with these revolutionary products, then like everything else, people started to copy and there are counterfeits on the market, but nothing is comparable to the real solid originals. What is engineered blade? We make the yarns in different shapes instead of simple flat and here are some key benefits of engineered blades:

1. They are more resilient, durable than flat fibers so your artificial grass lifespan get prolonged.

2. Engineered blades stands up better and less likely to be matted down easily. Even it gets matted down eventually, but much more longer before flat fibers do.

3. Shinny plastic looking has been a problem for artificial grass from day one of its birth, engineered blades reflecting light from different angles to make the overall appearance much more realistic.

You can find all our product lineups from this link and you will notice that all of our products come in with engineered blades, simply the best you can find on the market: https://www.globalsynturf.com/catalog/landscape-lawns
