Short-pile artificial grass is a type of synthetic turf characterized by its short blade height. This type of artificial grass is commonly used in specific applications where a shorter, denser surface is preferred. Here are the key characteristics, benefits, and considerations for short-pile artificial grass:
Characteristics of Short-Pile Artificial Grass
- Blade Height:
- Short Blades: Typically, short-pile artificial grass has blade heights ranging from 10mm to 25mm. This creates a denser, more compact surface.
- Materials:
- Synthetic Fibers: The blades are made from durable synthetic materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon. Each material offers different benefits in terms of softness, durability, and resistance to wear.
- Infill Materials: Often used with infill materials like silica sand or rubber granules to add weight, support the blades, and improve drainage.
- Construction:
- Tufted or Knitted: The synthetic fibers are tufted or knitted into a backing material, usually made of polypropylene or polyurethane, providing stability and durability.
- UV Protection: Many short-pile artificial grasses are treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and degradation from sunlight exposure.
