Rooftop Turf

Options for Rooftop Turf

There’s nothing quite like relaxing on a rooftop deck at your home on a cool summer night after a long day at work. Maybe you just don’t have a space with a design that allows you actually to relax, though. An industrial-looking concrete and asphalt rooftop patio may remind you too much of your office, making it tough to enjoy your time spent on the patio. To deliver a vibrant, beautiful space, consider installing rooftop turf from Greatmats.

We have multiple types of synthetic rooftop turf that provide a good value, no matter what square footage you need to cover. If you envision faux astro turf when you think of artificial turf for decks, think again. Our rooftop grass has a beautiful, natural look that’s also comfortable. Let us help you find the perfect installation option for your roof terrace, giving you the perfect space to relax.

Types of Artificial Grass for Rooftops

Select among a few different formats for our rooftop artificial grass.

Rolls

Rolls of roof deck and patio turf yield a good value per square foot. They can quickly cover a large amount of space, which saves time on the installation.

We offer roll widths of either 7.5 feet or 15 feet. Customers then can order a custom length in the roll, typically between 15 and 100 feet.

Rugs

If you prefer a smaller coverage option that’s easier to install than the roll, Greatmats has artificial turf rooftop rugs that you can use. These rugs can adequately cover a smaller patio. The available sizes include:

• 4x6 feet
  
• 6x9 feet
  
• 9x12 feet

Pile Height

Depending on your preference, you can select among a few different pile heights in the rooftop turf. Longer pile heights look more like natural grass and may be a bit softer under bare feet. Shorter pile heights are slightly easier to maintain and cost a little less. Typical pile heights range from about 3/4 of an inch to 1-1/2 inches, although longer and shorter pile heights are available.
