Vivaturf is regarded as one of the leading non-infill turf brands in global markets, including Europe and North America, because it approaches non-infill turf as a complete engineered system rather than a simple removal of infill. Its advantages include: In European and North American markets, buyers increasingly value turf systems that support environmental responsibility, reduced…

In kindergartens and schools, cleaning is not just a maintenance issue. It is a health and safety issue. Filled turf can trap dust, food crumbs, small debris, rainwater residue, and mud inside the infill layer. In humid climates, this may increase the difficulty of deep cleaning and odor management. Non-infill turf has a more open…

Non-infill turf does not mean “zero chemistry.” The yarn, backing, adhesive, seam tape, and shockpad still need to meet strict environmental requirements. However, compared with filled systems, non-infill turf removes one major variable: the separate infill particle supply chain. In school projects, this matters because standards such as GB 36246-2018 Synthetic Material Sports Surfaces for Primary…

Traditional filled artificial turf relies on silica sand and rubber or TPE granules to support the grass fibers and provide cushioning. This means the field surface contains loose, movable particles. In kindergarten and school environments, these loose particles can create several management concerns: Even when environmentally friendly infill is used, the existence of loose, millimeter-scale…

The purpose of pre-laying is not simply cosmetic. It contributes to the overall installation process by helping stabilize the turf before permanent fixing. A properly conditioned turf system can make it easier to achieve: Better Surface Flatness Reduced temporary wrinkles can improve the appearance of the completed installation. More Consistent Seams When the turf has…

Step 1: Inspect the Sub-Base Before Unrolling Pre-laying should begin only after the installation area has been properly prepared. The sub-base should be checked for: For sports applications, the finished base should normally be designed and verified according to the requirements of the relevant sports facility and synthetic turf system. A practical tolerance sometimes used…

There is no single relaxation period that applies to every artificial turf product. A practical reference for many projects is shown below: Ambient Conditions Typical Relaxation Approach Key Consideration Above 30°C / 86°F Several hours to approximately 24 hours Avoid unnecessary prolonged direct solar exposure 15–30°C / 59–86°F Around 24 hours Common installation range 5–15°C…

Does non-infill artificial turf need to be pre-laid before installation? In most professional installations, pre-laying—also called relaxation, conditioning, or unrolling—is a recommended preparation step. It allows the turf roll to relax after transportation and storage, helps the backing and synthetic fibers adapt to the installation environment, and can reduce the likelihood of wrinkles, ripples, and joint tension after installation.…

Yes—but the correct answer is “yes, when the complete system meets the required performance and certification requirements.” Non-infill turf is no longer simply a landscaping or recreational solution. Advances in fibre engineering, self-supporting structures, shockpad technology, drainage, and recyclable system design are creating new possibilities for professional football facilities. At the same time, professional buyers…

Rather than reproducing older fixed numerical ranges that may become outdated as FIFA manuals are revised, professional buyers should refer to the latest FIFA Test Manual and the applicable certification requirements for the project. For European and international projects, useful technical evaluation areas include: Performance area Recommended procurement approach Ball rebound Verify against the applicable FIFA certification…

Not necessarily. Traditional infilled turf contains substantial loose material that adds weight to the surface. This can provide additional restraint against small movements. A non-infill system does not depend on this loose weight, so the backing, installation method, perimeter fixation, and substrate become more important. This means that a properly engineered non-infill system can perform well…

The main advantage of non-infill artificial grass is not that it requires zero maintenance. Its advantage is that the maintenance system can be significantly simpler because there is no loose sand or rubber infill to manage. A practical maintenance program can be summarized as: Remove debris → rinse → brush → inspect seams → clean stains →…

A common mistake is to compare artificial grass products only by: A better purchasing evaluation considers the complete lifecycle. For example: Product quality → installation → drainage → daily maintenance → periodic maintenance → service life → end-of-life handling A slightly higher initial investment in a well-engineered non-infill system may potentially reduce maintenance complexity over…

Generally, yes—but it should not be described as maintenance-free. Because there is no loose sand or rubber infill, users do not need to: This can simplify maintenance compared with conventional infill systems. However, non-infill turf still requires: Cleaning + brushing + drainage management + seam inspection + periodic professional maintenance The actual maintenance cost depends…

UV/weathering tests are useful for comparing products, but an accelerated laboratory exposure time should not automatically be converted into a specific number of outdoor years. For example, manufacturers may report testing at 2,000, 3,000, 5,000 hours or other exposure periods. The important information is not just: “The product passed 3,000 hours.” You should also ask: Relevant…

In many applications, routine cleaning can be simpler because there is no loose infill layer that needs to be redistributed or maintained. However, non-infill turf still requires: So the more accurate description is lower-maintenance in certain respects, rather than “maintenance-free.” How to Choose Non-Infill Artificial Turf for Easy Cleaning If easy maintenance is an important purchasing criterion,…
