The Advantages of Envirofill Artificial Grass Infill

If you’re shopping for artificial grass for your home or commercial property, you will have to determine whether you will also need to purchase infill — material put between the blades of artificial lawns. But not every fake grass project requires infill. For example, you will not need to buy infill if you’re using synthetic grass strictly for aesthetic purposes. Infill is also not required if you’re using fake grass to landscape slopes and steep hills. If you’ve been told that you need infill, read on to learn whether Envirofill artificial grass infill is the right product for you.

Artificial Turf Supply carries two main types of infill: crumb rubber infill and acrylic-coated sand infill, or Envirofill. Artificial grass suppliers use crumb rubber infill for athletic applications and commercial playground structures. But if you’re not designing an athletic field or a playground, then you probably need Envirofill. Here’s a look at Envirofill and when you will need it for your synthetic turf project.

Advantages of Envirofill

Acrylic-coated, green sand, Envirofill is utilized to keep the residential artificial grass blades from bending or falling over. The final result is blades that stand up and appear like natural grass blades. However, Envirofill offers more benefits than the standard infill. Envirofill helps prohibit pet odors and the growth of bacteria. It’s also designed to keep the turf cooler. In fact, Envirofill has been shown to keep fake turf 25 percent cooler.

Another advantage of using Envirofill is that it helps extend the life of your synthetic turf products. Envirofill is used to make the synthetic turf system more durable. Finally, Envirofill can be used to add a layer of softness underfoot.

When to Purchase Envirofill

There are many synthetic turf applications that can be enhanced by the use of infill. Do you have pets? If you have pets, for example, Envirofill is a must. Use Envirofill if your pets go to the bathroom on the turf, because it will combat bad odors and keep bacteria from growing on your turf. It’s also important to use Envirofill if you plan to create an exercise run for your dog. Using Envirofill for your dog run will make it more durable.

Envirofill is also useful in high traffic areas. Whether you’re using fake grass to design a walkway to your front door or to create a backyard retreat, Envirofill infill will ensure that your turf doesn’t wear down under heavy foot traffic.

Other applications that require Envirofill include areas that are 500 square feet or smaller, backyard play structures, and commercial uses, and retail projects.
