As we already mentioned at the end of last year, in the article about our visit to the most important German fair for the artificial turf sector, FSB – International Trade Fair For Amenity Areas, Sports and Spool Facilities, we were able to see the direction in which the new trends in design and manufacturing are heading for this year 2019.
All brands are carrying out an improvement in their manufacturing and design process to once again surpass the previous campaign, in order to achieve higher quality products and always seeking greater realism and practicality.
Qualities.
From here on, the trend in the manufacture of artificial turf is aimed at satisfying customers who demand qualities in the turf that previously, they could not even imagine could be achieved. Every day there is more information about its characteristics and customers are now more demanding. The four qualities that are demanded in artificial turf for a garden are mainly those that we present below:
- Have an appearance that is as natural as possible:
For better enjoyment, it is desirable that the artificial turf looks natural and does not have a very dark or very light color, that it is not all the same tone, nor is it uniform, because otherwise, it will be clearly seen that it is artificial and that is what we normally want to avoid.
- Comfort when stepping on it or being on it:
Once a turf with a good appearance has been obtained, it is desired that when walking or lying on it, it is comfortable and we notice that it is sufficiently padded according to the tastes of each one.
- That it recovers after stepping on it:
Another important quality that a good and modern artificial turf has to have is that once we step on it, it recovers its initial shape as soon as possible, so that its appearance always remains as real as possible.
- A pleasant and soft touch:
Not all artificial turf models that have good foot recovery are soft to the touch. Some models recover very well, but are then very rough when walking barefoot and even prick. Hence the effort made by all brands to ensure that it has recovery but that, in turn, is also of a soft touch.
New utilities.
Normally, we want artificial turf for a garden, a patio or similar. Its use for sports use on football, paddle tennis, hockey courts or any other sports discipline in which artificial turf is gaining ground over natural turf is also common.
We detect that artificial turf is being used more decoratively in vertical gardens, which are beginning to be a trend in commercial establishments, restaurants, hotels, as well as other premises for public attention, with an increase in its use foreseeable in the coming years.
It is also beginning to be used in interior decoration, such as carpets, lined furniture or any decorative accessory with artificial turf.
Therefore, and because of what was previously said in the demanded qualities, in GARDENSTORE we will soon present on the new website, the 2019 collection, in which all models meet these characteristics. At the same time that we technically study its manufacture and the materials used, to cover these demands and that give us a guarantee of quality for its long life.
