To Infill or Not? Let us help you make your decision.

The ArtificialTurfSupply.com Infill Decision Guide

To infill or not to infill? That is the question. This is a common question and decision most synthetic grass shoppers must contemplate, and we have gathered valuable knowledge from both our customer’s and team member’s experiences and put together this guide hoping it makes your decision that much easier.

What exactly is infill?

By definition, “Infill” is either sand or crumb rubber particles that are put in between the blades of the artificial grass. Their purpose is to allow the artificial turf blades to stand up and look like natural standing grass.

Additionally, the infill will emulate the feeling of soil when walked on, adding a dimension of realism. However, there are some applications that will require this additional infill item and the more time intensive install involved, as well as, instances when infill based synthetic grass solutions should not be seriously considered by an educated shopper.

The synopsis is summed up below.

Please ask us any questions regarding this if you are not sure.

YOU WILL NEED AN INFILL BASED SOLUTION IF YOUR APPLICATION IS FOR:

  • Athletic applications (Recommended SportPRO® Series)

  • Commercial playground structures (Recommended PlayPRO-42®/PlayPRO-46®)

  • Dog exercise runs (Recommended PetPRO-42®/PetPRO-46®)

  • High traffic areas (Recommended XPR-42®/LXR-46®)
