Welcome to Turft, where we pride ourselves on offering top-notch synthetic turf installation for a variety of applications, including playgrounds. Designing a playground involves numerous decisions, with safety, durability, and maintenance being at the forefront. Here, we’ll walk you through what to consider when selecting synthetic turf for playgrounds, ensuring you choose a product that stands the test of time and provides a safe environment for children.
Safety First: Meeting Industry Standards
When it comes to playgrounds, safety is paramount. Synthetic turf should meet stringent safety standards, including those set by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA). Look for turf that is soft enough to cushion falls yet durable enough to withstand heavy use. Our products at Turft are designed to comply with these standards, offering peace of mind to parents and caregivers. Underlayment padding is available when certain fall height ratings are a requirement.
Durability: Withstanding the Elements
Playgrounds endure substantial wear and tear, from active play to exposure to weather elements. Choosing a synthetic turf that is UV-resistant and has a robust backing will ensure it maintains its appearance and functionality over time. We recommend selecting turf with a high face weight and dense construction, as these features contribute to its resilience. At Turft, we install synthetic turf that is crafted to endure the toughest conditions, providing a long-lasting solution for any playground.
Maintenance Considerations
While synthetic turf is low-maintenance compared to natural grass, it still requires some upkeep to remain in optimal condition. Regular cleaning and brushing help maintain the turf’s appearance and functionality. Furthermore, an effective drainage system is crucial to prevent water pooling, which can lead to mold or mildew. Our installation team at Turft ensures that each project offers a comprehensive drainage solution tailored to your specific site.
Environmental Impact
For eco-conscious consumers, it’s important to consider the environmental impact of your synthetic turf choice. Many of our products are made from recyclable materials and are designed to be environmentally friendly. By choosing synthetic turf, you also reduce water usage and eliminate the need for harmful pesticides and fertilizers, contributing to a healthier planet.
