Artificial Turf Footprint Recovery: What You should Know?

When we talk about the quality of artificial turf, one of the fundamental aspects to consider is footprint recovery. This term refers to the ability of artificial turf to regain its verticality after being stepped on, which guarantees a natural appearance for longer and an optimal user experience

But do you know what factors influence this recovery?

Height, Dtex Quality, and Yarn Section: Keys to Footprint Recovery

The footprint recovery in artificial turf is closely linked to three main factors: fiber height, Dtex quality, and yarn section.

Artificial Turf Fiber Height

It is important to note that fiber height plays a crucial role in the resistance and verticality of the artificial turf. Both factors are inversely proportional; that is, the lower the height, the more durable the verticality tends to be. This contributes to a prolonged and satisfactory user experience, making lower turf models the perfect choice for areas with higher foot traffic.

Turf Dtex Quality

Dtex is a measure that indicates the density of the fiber. Unlike the previous case, this characteristic is directly proportional to the verticality of the turf, so that the higher the Dtex, the greater will be the resistance of the fiber and the ability to recover from footprints.

Yarn Section

The yarn section also plays a crucial role in footprint recovery. There are various types of sections that grant a different degree of verticality to the fiber. Thus, from lowest to highest, we can point out the following:

  • Flat
  • Diamond
  • Diamond with central nerve
  • Concave or in “C”
  • In “S”
  • In “M or W”, which provides the most verticality.

A good combination of dtex and yarn section can result in models as vertical as those of the Beka range from GardenStore:

If you are looking for a turf with exceptional footprint recovery, to install in areas with greater use and traffic, be sure to opt for models that offer a balanced combination of height, Dtex quality and yarn section. That way you will get the maximum performance and durability.

Understanding the relationship between these factors will help you make informed decisions to choose the artificial turf that suits your needs.

In any case, if after reading this article you still have doubts, let the expert professionals at GardenStore advise you in choosing the artificial turf model that best suits you. We will resolve all your doubts and offer you the best solution.
