The density of artificial turf refers to the number of stitches per square meter. A higher density results in more durable and natural-looking grass but also increases the cost:
- Low Density (10,000-12,000 stitches/m²): Basic quality, lower cost.
- Medium Density (12,000-16,000 stitches/m²): Good for residential lawns and commercial use.
- High Density (16,000-20,000+ stitches/m²): Premium quality, often used in high-traffic areas and professional sports fields.
1.3 Yarn Material and Quality
Yarn is a critical component of artificial turf, and its type and quality directly influence the cost:
- Polyethylene (PE): Soft, natural-looking, ideal for residential and landscaping purposes.
- Polypropylene (PP): Cheaper but less durable, commonly used for temporary or decorative installations.
- Nylon: Strong and resilient but expensive, often used for sports fields and premium applications.
Higher-quality yarn, which offers better UV protection, durability, and color retention, will cost more.
1.4 Backing Material
The backing material provides structure and stability to the turf. Options include:
- Latex Backing: Affordable and widely used.
- Polyurethane (PU) Backing: More expensive but offers better durability and weather resistance.
