When choosing the artificial turf for your home, you will always want to take into consideration the quality of the product. The heavier the face weight, the more abuse the artificial turf can withstand and the longer it will last. Be careful when choosing which type of artificial turf to install, as some brands look very cheap.
You should know that there are three types of artificial turf:
- Polypropylene
- Polyethylene
- Nylon
Polypropylene artificial turf is the least expensive, which makes it the artificial turf the majority of deal-shopping homeowners will choose. Unfortunately this is a poor purchasing decision, as polypropylene artificial turf has a low melting point, and always wears out easier than the other materials you have to choose. This material is used most often for golf putting green applications.
Polyethylene artificial turf is known for its soft texture, life-like looks in a home landscaping installation and is widely used on soccer fields, football fields, and landscape design. High quality polyethylene artificial turf is just right for your yard with the look and feel of that high cost, high maintenance and water guzzling natural grass lawn. You can’t go wrong with this type of artificial turf. In fact, we guarantee it for 8 years!
Nylon is the strongest artificial turf available. It can withstand high temperatures and weight, and still retain its original shape. This type of artificial turf is also used for putting greens because it is durable and creates a perfect environment for practicing your putt as if you were on the greens. It is not used often for landscaping because of the cost and the stiffness of the pile. It is, however, used as a secondary thatch of yarn to improve overall stability and strength of a higher end artificial turf landscape products. If you are willing to ignore to price tag of installing nylon artificial turf, it won’t feel like soft green grass between your toes. This is best reserved for backyard putting greens and secondary tuft thatches.
