There is no doubt that the incorporation of ecological materials into our environment is a reality. A specific case is artificial turf, which for years has been included in sports and domestic decoration. This is mainly due to its sustainable nature, low maintenance, mechanical properties, and recycling and reuse capacity.
Why Artificial Turf?
Although we have already mentioned some of its characteristics, this material stands out as a viable alternative due to its advanced components. It does not require extensive care in the shade and can be economical, mid-range, or high-end depending on the required format.
Its third-generation version consists of a mixture of synthetic fibers, rubber, and sand that can be custom designed depending on the application needed. For this reason, they have become popular in sports, recreational parks, schools, and commercial areas.
Due to its synthetic nature, it allows for greater energy savings in the short and long term. This implies that there is no need for irrigation installation, fertilizer application, less water consumption (up to 98%), no gardening, and no electricity is required.
Likewise, its aesthetic quality allows for green grass all year round, as it is very easy to clean. Other advantages are that it does not need to be watered, pruned, or fumigated, which makes it very versatile to be installed in all kinds of outdoor or indoor spaces.
Being a hygienic product, resistant to climatic conditions, and very easy to install, it is an unbeatable alternative. In addition, it has a pleasant touch, is anti-allergenic, fire retardant, safe for children, does not generate plant waste, and is excellent for pets.
Sustainable and Beneficial
In terms of sustainability, artificial turf has a minimum lifespan of 8 years from its installation. Once its useful life cycle is over, it can be taken to a controlled landfill where specific techniques are applied for its recycling and reuse.
Likewise, since it does not need chemicals or machinery for its maintenance, this prevents soil contamination and the discharge of CO2 emissions or greenhouse gases. Those made from polyurethane are 100% recyclable.
Whether you want to install it yourself or seek professional help from Gardenstore for its custom design and implementation, there is a wide range of options available to you. Do not forget to ask for your samples without obligation or request advice.
