Why synthetic grass is better than organic turf for roofs.
Rooftop Greenery
Green rooftops have been making a difference in cities all over the world. Green roofs supply shade, absorb heat from the atmosphere, and decrease the roof surface and surrounding air temperatures. These rooftops are a perfect way to expand square footage and support mental health by incorporating a green outdoor retreat in the concrete jungle. By using synthetic, you can open up the opportunities for implementing a creative space in an otherwise boring area.
Perks of Synthetic Turf Rooftops
There are several advantages to installing artificial turf on a rooftop. Here are a few of our personal favorites:
Easy to Clean
Artificial grass is extremely simple to keep clean and fresh-looking.
Light
It doesn’t pose any safety risks or hazards compared to natural grass — such as root and water damage.
Offers Insulation
Protects interiors of buildings from extreme heat and may provide resistance to mold, mildew, or decomposition.
Less Maintenance
Artificial turf if installed properly, will last for a very long time and require minimal maintenance.
Adds Value
Provides a simple escape while in the midst of the concrete jungle.
Safe Space for Kids and Pets
With synthetic grass, your kids and pets will not be susceptible to toxic weedkillers, fertilizers, and pesticides.
Create A One-Of-A-Kind Look
Artificial turf makes it convenient to put turf where organic grass won’t grow, and you can create unique figures, or even put them on walls if you wish.
Which Fiber Type Should You Use?
There are several factors to think about when selecting synthetic grass, much less what would be look good on a rooftop. Here are some crucial elements to keep in mind when shopping:
Nylon is a long-lasting fabric, however, outdoor areas are prone to expansion/contraction and are likely to fade.
We recommend nylon for indoor use or situations with extreme commercial wear or non-fill spots. All nylon non-infill Shaw products are subjected to thorough flammability testing to satisfy building codes.
For a rooftop commercial area, we recommend an infill PE tape product.
PE tape offers durability without compromising performance; high-quality PE resins are fade-resistant and not prone to contraction and expansion. Our Play-Safe collection offers superior performance for this application.
