Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Installing your 7mm Artificial Grass is designed to be straightforward:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area is clean, level, and well-drained. Remove any debris, rocks, or existing vegetation.
- Unroll the Grass: Carefully unroll the artificial grass over your prepared area.
- Cut to Size: Using a sharp blade, precisely cut the grass to fit the desired shape and dimensions of your space. It's recommended to cut from the backing side for cleaner lines.
- Join Sections: If multiple pieces are needed, butt the edges of the grass together closely. Use tape and adhesive specifically designed for artificial grass to create seamless, strong joints beneath the seams.
- Secure Edges: Depending on the application, you may need to secure the perimeter using U-pins or by gluing the edges down to a perimeter board.
- Brush Up: After installation, lightly brush the grass against the pile to help the blades stand up and achieve a natural look.
> Note: This artificial grass does not require sand infill.
Compatibility
This artificial grass is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of environments:
- Outdoor Spaces: Ideal for gardens, patios, balconies, rooftops, and pathways.
- Indoor Spaces: Can be used in conservatories, playrooms, exhibition stands, or even as a decorative element.
- Surface Types: Suitable for installation over soil, concrete, decking, and paving, provided the surface is properly prepared and level.
Care
Maintaining the fresh and new look of your 7mm Artificial Grass is simple:
- Regular Cleaning: Occasionally hose down the grass to remove dust, dirt, or pet waste.
- Brushing: Use a stiff brush (e.g., a broom with synthetic bristles) to brush against the pile periodically. This helps the blades stand upright and prevents matting, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent solution and water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- UV Protection: The grass is inherently UV resistant, meaning it will maintain its vibrant green color without fading due to sun exposure.
