Preventing Burned Turf: Tips and Solutions
Is your artificial turf showing signs of wear, suffering from patches of melted blades and discoloration? You're not alone. Turf burning can be a common problem often caused by the concentrated heat generated by Low-E windows. In this blog, we explore what causes burned turf and how you can prevent it, as well as introducing our Fusion™ synthetic grass as a heat-resistant solution.
Artificial Turf With Turf Burn
What Causes Burned Turf?
Sunlight Reflection: Burned turf occurs when sunlight reflects off Low-E windows, concentrating intense heat onto specific areas of the grass. This heightened heat exposure damages or burns the turf.
Measures to Prevent Burned Turf
Shading: Install shading devices such as awnings or shade sails over windows to reduce direct sunlight on the turf.
Window Films: Consider window films or coatings designed to diffuse or redirect sunlight, reducing the intensity of reflected heat.
Choose Nylon Turf: Consider turf with specific heat-resistant properties designed for use in areas with intense sun exposure.
What are the benefits of Nylon Turf?
Heat-Resistant Materials: Choosing heat-resistant artificial turf materials, like our Fusion™ synthetic grass with Legacy Fiber™ yarn, can significantly mitigate damage. Fusion™ can withstand extreme heat and is ideal for use near Low-E windows.
UV Stabilization: UV-stabilized artificial turf products can protect against the harmful effects of sun exposure. This is particularly valuable when dealing with intense sunlight reflected by Low-E windows.
Heat Dissipation: Opt for turf materials that dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of localized burning.
Quality Installation: Proper installation with good infill and base materials contributes to better heat resistance and dissipation.
Watch the video below as Jason Cameron, licensed contractor and TV host, demonstrates the incredible heat resistance by exposing ForeverLawn Fusion to temperatures that simulate the intense, reflective heat that can be generated by today’s energy-efficient low-E windows.
