Decorative artificial turf <\/strong>has come a long way since its emergence in the 1980s, when its use became fashionable. From the first generation artificial turf made of fibrillated fibers to today’s Polyethylene turf, decorative artificial turf has undergone dramatic changes <\/strong>in its composition, feel and overall performance. <\/p>\n\n

Let’s see how this type of artificial turf has evolved over time: <\/p>\n\n

Origins of Decorative Artificial Grass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The first decorative artificial lawns appeared installed in swimming pools, store windows and other places where people were looking for a way to beautify their surroundings. <\/p>\n\n

The material from which it was made was made of polypropylene (PP) fibers<\/strong> woven with a knot manufacturing system and measured about 7 mm in height <\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Its guarantees <\/strong>were practically non-existent <\/strong>and its price was much lower than the products available today. It may have looked natural due to its color, but it was very rough to the touch, lacked structure <\/strong>and therefore had no resilience and offered no comfort whatsoever, as its purpose <\/strong>was purely aesthetic <\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

These early decorative artificial lawns did not require installation<\/strong> as they were just laid on the ground, without any binding strips or other accessories<\/a>, because their price was higher than that of the lawn itself.<\/p>\n\n

Evolution of the Decorative Artificial Grass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Today, artificial<\/strong> <\/strong>artificial turf<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>used for decorative or landscaping purposes <\/strong>has virtually the look and feel of natural grass<\/strong>, without all the hassle of maintaining your own lawn! It has come a long way since its inception in the 1980s. <\/p>\n\n

Not only have characteristics such as texture, coloration and durability been significantly improved, but warranties have also become broader and more generous. <\/p>\n\n

It now incorporates a layer of padding <\/strong>that adds cushioning under your feet, making it much more comfortable <\/strong>than before. The fiber used to manufacture these products is now polyethylene (PE), which is much more wear resistant <\/strong>than polypropylene. <\/p>\n\n

The height of <\/strong>today’s artificial turf <\/strong>ranges from 10 mm to 50 mm,<\/strong> depending on the type of aesthetic effect you are looking for; this added thickness makes the surface much softer and more pleasant to walk on barefoot <\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

In addition, manufacturers are constantly introducing new technologies <\/strong>and products with improved features, such as increased UV resistance, color stability and resistance to chlorine and seawater <\/strong>or better drainage capabilities<\/strong>, so you can get the most out of your lawn without having to worry about maintenance or replacement costs for years to come as it offers guarantees of up to 8 years <\/strong>of durability. <\/p>\n\n

Nowadays, artificial turf has evolved to simulate, almost perfectly, natural grass, being its appearance much more realistic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Artificial turf now offers an unbeatable combination of performance characteristics<\/strong> that make it suitable for any application where natural turf is not an option due to climatic or budgetary constraints. <\/p>\n\n

Whatever you’re looking for, there’s sure to be a choice of artificial turf<\/strong><\/a> perfect for your needs. Find it in our online store <\/strong>of Artificial Grass<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and fill your home with sensations!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
