Why synthetic grass outperforms natural turf for roofs.
Rooftop Greenery
Green rooftops are making an impact in cities all around the world. Green roofs deliver shade, absorb heat from the air, and reduce the roof surface and surrounding air temperatures. These types of rooftops are a ideal way to expand square footage and support mental health by adding a green outdoor retreat in the concrete jungle. By choosing synthetic, you can open up the options for creating a creative space in an otherwise bland spot.
Benefits of Synthetic Turf Rooftops
Installing artificial turf on a rooftop has numerous benefits. Here are a handful of our favorites:
Easy to Clean
Synthetic turf is extremely easy to keep clean and maintained.
Lightweight
In comparison to traditional grass, there is no risk of safety issues or hazards, such as root and water damage.
Supplies Insulation
Protects building interiors against intense heat and could offer immunity to decomposition, mold, or mildew.
Less Maintenance
Synthetic turf will last for a very long time and requires minimal maintenance if installed properly.
Adds Value
Provides a simple getaway while staying in the concrete jungle.
Safe Space for Kids and Pets
With synthetic turf, your pets and kids won’t be susceptible to toxic weedkillers, fertilizers, and pesticides.
Create A One-Of-A-Kind Look
Synthetic turf makes it simple to place turf where organic grass wouldn’t grow, and you can make unique shapes, or even put them on walls if you want to.
Which Fiber Type Should You Go For?
There are several factors to think about when choosing synthetic grass, not to mention what would be look good on a rooftop. Here are some critical factors to keep in mind when purchasing:
Nylon is a durable fabric, but outdoor areas are susceptible to expansion/contraction and are likely to fade.
We recommend nylon for indoor use or situations with high commercial wear or non-fill spots. All nylon non-infill Shaw products are subjected to extensive flammability testing to comply with building codes.
For a rooftop commercial area, we recommend an infill PE tape product.
PE tape is long-lasting without compromising performance; high-quality PE resins are resistant to fading and not prone to expansion and contraction. Our Play-Safe collection delivers exceptional results for this application.
