Frequently asked questions about the best artificial grass

What's the best artificial grass?

The best artificial grass is the one that combines natural appearance, good density, comfort and recovery capacity. More than a specific model, the important thing is to choose a product that suits the actual use and keeps its appearance with the passage of time.

 

What height of artificial grass is better?

Depends on the use:

  • 20-30 mm → functional and economic option, ideal for terraces or passing areas
  • 30-35 mm → balance between aesthetics and resistance
  • 40 mm or more → greater natural visual effect

The height influences the aesthetics, but does not determine the quality of the lawn alone.

 

What is more important: fiber height, density or weight?

Quality depends on the whole, but they highlight:

  • Fiber weight (g / m ²) → influences comfort and resistance
  • Density (stitches / m ²) → promotes recovery
  • Height → visual impact

Two censors with the same height can behave very differently if the density and weight of fiber change.

 

What does fiber weight indicate in artificial grass?

The fibre weight indicates the actual amount of material used.

  • More weight → more body, more comfort and better resistance
  • Lower weight → lighter and more basic product

 

What is the relationship between density, fibre weight and decitex (dtex)?

These three factors are directly related:

  • Density → lawn structure
  • Fiber weight → total amount of thread per m ²
  • Decitex (dtex) → thickness or mass of each fibre

The final behavior depends on the balance between these values.

 

Is density the most important factor?

Density is important because it promotes recovery and stability, but it must be analysed along with fiber weight, yarn type and fiber design.

 

How long can artificial grass last?

The duration depends on the use, installation and quality of the product. A well-chosen lawn can keep a good look for years.

 

How to know if an artificial lawn is of good quality?

  • Tact with a certain consistency
  • Recovery after stepping on it
  • Absence of excessive brightness
  • Direct comparison with other models

 

Why do some artificial lawns look like plastic?

It is usually due to low quality fibres, flat yarn design or overshine. Structured fibres offer a more natural appearance.

 

What is the best artificial grass quality-price?

The best quality-price balance is found in products that maintain their performance with the use. The medium-term behaviour is more relevant than the initial price.

 

Does the artificial grass get crushed over time?

With use you may suffer some deformation. The difference is in its ability to recover, which depends on density, fiber weight and thread quality.

 

Which artificial grass is recommended for pets?

A lawn with good recovery, adequate density and good drainage is recommended to support frequent use.

 

What to look at before you buy artificial grass?

  • Natural appearance
  • Density and weight of fibre
  • Type of thread (dtex)
  • Behavior on foot
  • Planned use

 

Conclusion

The best artificial grass is the result of the balance between density, fiber weight, thread quality and design, and his behavior in real use.
