Green Planet Grass Provides Guide to Artificial Grass as Public Service
Announcement posted by Green Planet Grass 19 Jan 2015
Synthetic grass manufacturer and installer in Perth provides an overview of modern, “new generation” artificial grass.
Perth, WA, 19 January 2015 - Green Planet Grass manufactures and installs artificial grass in the Perth area. They have completed more than 4,000 installations and have solicited extensive feedback after each one. They also had to answer a lot of questions for most of their customers before installing Green Planet Grass.
Justin Everley, director of Green Planet Grass, decided to provide a guide or overview of artificial grass on his company blog. Mr Everley had found that many prospective customers have similar questions and concerns about artificial grass and decided to put all of the information he feels prospective customers or interested consumers need into the blog article.
How Modern Artificial Turf is Different from Previous Generations
The first artificial turf was known as AstroTurf and was used in the US for playing baseball. It was installed at the Houston Astrodome in 1966. It bore more similarity to a carpet placed on top of cement than it did to real grass. It was known for freakishly high bounces and increased injuries.
In 2015, though, modern artificial grass looks, feels and performs very much like exquisitely-maintained natural grass. It looks so real that many people drive right by houses which have synthetic grass in the Perth area and don’t notice that it isn’t natural grass.
Life-Like Fibres
Third generation or “new generation” artificial grass has fibres that look and feel a lot like natural grass. They are affixed to a backing layer which attaches them while allowing for plenty of drainage. Then, an infill is placed into the grass, covering as much as half of the height of the fibres. This provides a lot of cushioning and can be adjusted to provide perfect surface characteristics for any sport.
In some sport and playground applications, a shockpad is also used. This can help a surface comply with Australian Critical Fall Height standards. It can also be used to make a pitch provide surface characteristics in line with well-maintained natural grass pitches for whatever sport is going to be contested.
The Proof is in the Results
All of these factors work together to create a lawn or a sport pitch that provides a superior experience. Performance characteristics are nearly identical to those of natural grass pitches for the various sports being played upon them, with the exception of bad bounces. The surface is so consistent that there are no bad bounces in any sport.
Drainage is twice as fast on a Green Planet Grass artificial pitch or lawn as it is on natural grass. A Green Planet Grass sport pitch can be used within twenty minutes after a torrential downpour with no ill effects.
According to Mr Everley, a lot has changed in 50 years:
“New generation artificial grass provides an experience that is superior to natural grass in many ways. That’s why it is so popular.”
