- Some interesting FAQ's about Artificial Grass from Grassificial -

​

Q. Why choose Artificial Grass from Grassificial?

​

A. Simply, Grassificial were asked to source an Artificial Grass solution for a client who had looked at many different variations available - none suited his requirement for a quality and soft under-foot solution so we looked worldwide to find the best to offer to our client. We arranged samples and he immediately fell in love with one variant which when he put it on his real grass, stood back and could not see the difference.

​

​

Q. Is Artificial Grass just for the house and home or could I use it commercially?

​

A. Artificial Grass has many diverse applications. It can be used to replace real grass saving huge amounts on maintenance and irrigation. It can be used in high foot-fall locations where real grass will wear away. It can be used in conjunction with patios and walkways to create a natural picturesque environment. It can be used around the Swimming Pool where water will cause flooding and bleaching of real grass. You can even use Artificial Grass to create a Putting Green in your garden. Commercially, Artificial Grass is used worldwide at hotels for decoration and high foot-fall locations where paving is just not high-end enough, golf courses for driving ranges,  pitch and put golf courses, crazy golf and also to accent certain areas.

​

​

Q. Is Artificial Grass from Grassificial recyclable and Environmentally Friendly?

​

A. Yes - all variants of Artificial Grass from Grassificial are recyclable. The Artificial Grass we sell is made from Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Latex - common materials that can be recycled. The backing for instance when recycled is used to fuel cement ovens. All of the Artificial Grass sold by Grassificial, pass the EU REACH legislation (the European Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) and all conform to the environmental standard ISO 14 001.

​

Q. Is the Artificial Grass sold by Grassificial cleanable if I spill something on it, or my dog / cat urinates on it?

​

A. Yes - due to the manufacturing nature and the materials used in the make-up of the Artificial Grass sold by Grassificial, any mishap can be washed away with normal soap and water.

​

​

Q. When I walk on my Artificial Grass it flattens and stays flat. Why?

​

A. Depending on the make of the Artificial Grass and how dense the pile is, this can happen in high footfall areas. Certainly with the Artificial Grass sold by Grassificial, a soft brush used once a week moving in the opposite direction of the area that is flat, will bring the pile back up.

​

​

Q. Will bugs such as ants live in the Artificial Grass sold by Grassificial?
