A good quality backing is one of the key components of the best quality artificial grass.
A common mistake consumers make when searching for the best fake turf is that they judge samples purely upon their aesthetic appeal.
Of course, choosing a turf that will look good is very important, but it’s only half the story.
Let’s face it, having an artificial lawn installed isn’t cheap. Therefore, it is extremely important that you invest wisely and choose turf that will look good and perform to the highest standards for as long as possible.
Choosing a cheap turf that looks okay now, but needs replacing after a few years, is a false economy.
The best quality artificial grass, although perhaps requiring a larger initial investment, proves to be the most cost-effective in the long term.
As the saying goes, ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’, and that is certainly true of artificial grass.
In order to choose the best turf, one that will stand the test of time, we need to look under the skin of each product.
There are many factors that play their part; micron thickness, pile height, pile density, fibre material, fibre shape, decitex and a good quality backing all play their part in forming quality synthetic grass.
Today, we will be looking at the importance of a strong backing.
We’ll tell you why it is so important, what artificial grass backings are made from, how to spot poor quality backings and how backing strength is measured.
Let’s dive straight in.
