Thiolon Grass Yarn

Thiolon is one of the largest producers of artificial grass fibers in the world and
has been manufacturing turf fibers for over 50 years!  The life cycle cost analysis
have proven synthetic turf of be cost effective over real grass with its virtually
waterless and maintenance free attributes.   

 
 Thiolon® is considered to be one of the best turf fibers

available.  The leading position of the Thiolon® brand is owed to research and
development and to the development of low sliding resistance (LSR®) fiber.  
Thiolon® fibers are also free from heavy metals and are UV treated. As a
result, Thiolon® grass fibers may be used anywhere and without any
restrictions in sensitive areas. The largest turf companies use Thiolon® grass
yarn!

 Thiolon’s LSR® (lower sliding resistance) is considered
one of the best.  Thiolon’s LSR® is perfectly able to withstand extreme
conditions and intensive use.  The Lower Sliding Resistance® reduces the risk
of damaging the skin when sliding on the turf.

Special care needed for artificial grass

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Artificial grass is beneficial in reducing water use, is easy to care for and can save on mowing. It does require special care in keeping clean, treating it against weeds and keeping it free of animal waste. This ensures that it will last a long time.

Weeds

Weeds should never appear on your artificial grass lawn because the membrane applied beneath the synthetic surface will prevent undesirable plant life from growing. spraying the lawn with a mix of clove oil with vinegar before and during the rainy time of year and before spring is recommended.

Dirty

When the artificial grass becomes dirty, some clients hose the turf down but you can simply leave the rain to clean it naturally.

Organic debris, such as bird and animal waste and pollen, can cause problems with artificial grass. Clean the grass using a rake or blower to remove this kind of debris. Avoid putting feeders for birds and squirrels near the grass.

High traffic

The artificial grass may appear disfigured if the pile becomes flat. In this case you can brush it upright or infill with kiln-dried sand to solve the problem. Disfigurement tends to be of concern for high traffic areas and long pile height astro turf can be used to prevent any such occurrences.
