INSTALLATION STEP BY STEP

STEP 1) ASSESSMENT AND SITE PREPARATION

The Artificial Grass is to be installed on a level surface, solid and fitted to allow for optimum drainage.

Artificial Turf If placed on a surface where there is natural grass, it must be started and should be put on the spot a geotextile blanket to prevent future outbreaks.

To facilitate surface drainage and stability, spread gravel and sand on the ground to reach approximately 15cm thick. Then levels off and smooth the surface with the help of a compactor.Use of this compaction is important because any projection that this field is reflected in the lawn once the installation is complete.

STEP 2) ROLLS OF EXTENDED PARTS AND INSTALLATION

As measured from the work area, are arranged and extending parallel rolls of artificial turf, and ensures that all parts submit the fibers or threads pointing the same direction. Otherwise, the reflection of the sun or any light show a clear difference between the pieces.

Here are sanean the cutting edge of the last pieces / s row / s Artificial Turf and the back straight, following the direction of stitching. The cut should be made carefully and as close to the line marked by longitudinal stitches.

In the case of existing planter boxes, trees or ornamental, lawns must be cut around the shape of them, surrounding them.
STEP 3) UNION OF PARTS

To achieve a continuous surface, once clearly the arrangement of the parts is necessary unite them together.

This step is very important and should be done cautiously because the Boards have concealed the most to make them invisible. To match the pieces of artificial turf to perfection, the space between them should be about 2mm, it should never mounted a piece with another.

Subsequently, when the grass is spread on the ground, the proceeds to open the boards about 30 cm and is positioned, between numbers, a bonding band (geotextile).

With a spatula, serrated tail extends polyurethane (perfect for bonding together of Artificial Grass Turfgrass) on each of the bands, and closing the pieces back on them. The gluing can be assured walking slowly along the whole board with one foot on each side or put weight on them (eg silica sand bags) over the drying time specified by the manufacturer.
NOTE: Today we find bands of self-adhesive binding that do not require any glue.

NOTE: Turfgrass recommends a visit from a specialist for the valuation of the land and the installation of artificial turf. The aforementioned steps may vary depending on the type of terrain and customer needs.
