Installing artificial turf<\/strong> in your home is an excellent way to enjoy a green space all year round without complications. However, for a successful and long-lasting installation<\/strong> as well as proper maintenance<\/strong>, it is essential to have the necessary accessories<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

In this article, we tell you what they are, what they are for and what quantities you need. In the fashion jargon, we are going to talk about the “must have” of the artificial turf accessories<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Essential Accessories for Artificial Grass Installation and Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

1. Anti-weed or Geotextile Mesh<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

This accessory prevents weeds from growing<\/strong> under the artificial turf, ensuring a clean and durable finish. This material will only be necessary if you are going to install the turf above ground. <\/p>\n

It is available in different weights: weed netting of 100 gr<\/strong><\/a>of 120 gr<\/strong><\/a> and 160 gr<\/strong><\/a>. And you will tell me: Which one should I buy? That will depend on the amount of weeds<\/strong> that usually grow in your garden or yard. If there are few weeds, the 100 gr anti weed netting will be enough, but if there are many, it is better to use the 160 gr, because the higher the weight, the less light passes through, and therefore the more difficult it will be for weeds to appear. <\/p>\n\n

Recommendation<\/strong>: Buy 5% more square meters of mesh than artificial turf to cover possible adjustments and trimmings during installation.<\/p>\n\n

2. Union Band<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

It is used to join the different sections of artificial turf and achieve a uniform finish without visible joints. It is used in both artificial turf installations on the ground<\/strong><\/a> and on pavement<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

You can buy it in two different formats: Adhesive bonding band of 10 meters<\/strong><\/a> y of 5 meters<\/strong><\/a> y 20 cm x 10 m non-adhesive jointing bands<\/strong><\/a> y 30 cm x 10 m<\/strong><\/a>which you need to complete the installation of the bicomponent.<\/p>\n\n

Quantity needed<\/strong>: Measure the linear meters of joints<\/strong> you will have according to your installation plan. A previous plan<\/strong> is key to calculate correctly and facilitate the installation. <\/p>\n\n

3. Bicomponent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

It is a special adhesive<\/strong> for joining pieces of artificial turf<\/strong> using a non-adhesive bonding strip.<\/p>\n
