Ensure the grass is always greener in dull, boring areas with DuraTurf artificial lawn from Belgotex Floorcoverings. DuraTurf explains what makes artificial lawn green.
Q: Where can DuraTurf be used?
A: Anywhere you can think of!
There are eleven different ranges of DuraTurf suited to specific areas, eg:
• Transform that dull paved island in the parking lot to an evergreen oasis,
• Makeover the flat rooftop and enjoy city views,
• Brighten up that long dark passage through the arcade,
• Give a shopping centre or garage forecourt the green carpet treatment,
• Around the hotel swimming pool perimeter and courtyard,
• Between stepping stones or pavers,
• In the gym or even an expo stand….
Q: What’s it made of?
A: DuraTurf is constructed out of durable, tufted low linear density polyethylene yarn in a range of pile heights and comes in rolls, similar to a broadloom carpet.
Q: What makes it environmentally friendly?
A: Aside from the fact that it saves water and energy as it doesn’t need to be watered, mowed or weeded, DuraTurf is manufactured locally (so low carbon footprint) by Belgotex Floorcoverings who are ISO14001 accredited following strict environmental standards to save raw materials, water and energy. The absence of fertilizers and harmful pesticides also means less chemical pollution to the soil.
Q: What’s the big difference between ranges?
A: Basically the fibre densities and pile heights differ between each range, and the infill or non-infill systems. The shorter ones are hardier and tougher while the longer, more luxurious ranges look more authentic but are more susceptible to flattening. There are also two basic installation systems of DuraTurf available depending on the application – those with a sand infill and those without.
Q: When do I use an infill vs non-infill range?
A: Depending on the application, infill varieties such are used in mostly outdoor applications such as landscaped gardens, terraces and multi-functional areas. The non-infill varieties are usually recommended for indoors, entertainment areas, sports facilities in general including cricket pitches, putt-putt surfaces, change rooms and gyms.
Q: Can it be installed on any surface?
A: DuraTurf can be installed on any flat, even surface such as concrete, stone or tar. The substrate should be flat, stable, well-condensed and preferably porous to allow for drainage. If the sub-soil is not sufficiently condensed it may shift and settle later causing irregularities in the artificial lawn.
Q: What maintenance does DuraTurf require?
A: Just like any garden surface, DuraTurf will collect dirt from environmental exposure and from being walked upon. Spills and dirt can be washed away with normal water. Simply scoop up any solids or dirt as you would with normal grass. Sweep with a soft-bristled garden broom to restore flattened blades to their upright position.
