Types of Synthetic Turf Accessories and Underlayments
We offer a wide range of synthetic turf accessories that will match the needs of your particular layout. If you are unsure what you need, our customer service experts are ready to help.
Adhesives
Artificial turf adhesive and glue are available in two- to five-gallon buckets. You can match the glue or adhesive to the type of backing layer that the synthetic turf has.
Infill
One of our most popular artificial grass accessories is sand infill. This material provides stability underneath the turf that aids the realistic look and feel of the layout. You need to match the infill product to the type of layout you have. Our infill sand prevents mold and mildew while resisting compaction.
Drainage Tile
Our plastic interlocking tiles have a grid design that provides an efficient means of draining water. The plastic tiles generate a stable layer when placing the synthetic grass over dirt. In areas where you receive a lot of rain, this is a great choice to go underneath turf.
Foam Pad Underlayment
Artificial turf underlay that consists of foam delivers the highest level of cushioning, protecting against falls. This is an especially useful product at a playground.
Rubber Underlayment
In areas where you need the artificial turf to stand up to tough workouts, the rubber underlay roll provides significant stability in a long-lasting product.
Hook-and-Loop Seam Attachment
A hook-and-loop seam attachment gives you an option for connecting two rolls of turf along a seam without having to glue the rolls down. The hook-and-loop seams hold the rolls tightly, even when using them for a tough workout.
Turf Tile Quad Blok Connector
The Quad Blok connectors consist of a rubber section that goes underneath the turf tiles and holds them together tightly. The rubber section connects to four tiles at once, securing them at the corners.
Turf Tile Transition Strip Reducer
Use our transition strips at the edge of the turf tiles to reduce a trip hazard from an artificial grass tile that has a thick backing layer. These strips attach securely to the edge of the layout.
Where to Use Artificial Grass Accessories, Turf Adhesive, and Turf Infill
Although you can use our artificial grass accessories with a range of our products, it’s important to match the accessories to the model and brand of synthetic turf you have. Some of the options for using synthetic turf accessories include:
- Artificial turf underlayment for cushioning at playgrounds
- Sand infill for a lawn, yard, or putting green
- Hook-and-loop attachments for the turf seam at a large installation
- Adhesive and glue for permanent installation at a gym
Artificial Grass Accessories Q&A
What is artificial turf infill and how do you use it?
Artificial turf infill is a collection of tiny granules used to stabilize the turf installation while adding a cushioning layer underneath. You have a few different options to use as infill, including sand. The right infill adds stability to prevent wrinkles that could cause trips.
Why use padding under playground turf?
Using padding under playground turf is a smart choice when you want to provide protection against injuries from falls. If you have equipment on the playground where children will be climbing, padded turf gives you a fall height safety rating.
Does artificial turf drain?
One of the key advantages of installing synthetic grass is that
artificial turf drains well. Some turf rolls have natural drainage properties by including holes in the backing layer. You can also install a separate layer of plastic tiles that encourage additional drainage in areas where significant water may occur.
How do you install indoor artificial grass turf?
To
install indoor artificial grass turf, you’ll need to let the turf product acclimate to the temperature and humidity in the room where you’ll install it. Clean and level the subfloor before allowing it to dry. Fix any cracks that could affect stability. When laying out the rolls, make sure the seams run parallel to the main flow of traffic.
What kind of padding do you put under gym turf?
The
best padding to put under gym turf should provide cushioning against hard subfloors, such as concrete. You can add a separate roll of foam or rubber underlayment underneath the turf, or you can purchase turf products that have a built-in padding layer. Rubber offers extra durability, while foam delivers extra cushioning.
