Why do many people choose artificial grass instead of natural grass?

 Comparison of artificial turf and natural grass With the development of society, the cost of using artificial turf is much less than that of natural turf. The key is that it is more convenient to use and more effective. The daily maintenance cost of natural lawns is too high, and some countries and regions cannot afford it due to economic reasons. Natural grass cannot grow under extreme climatic conditions.

Natural grass cannot be planted in some covered stadiums.

In contrast, artificial turf has the characteristics of high frequency of use, easy paving, simple maintenance, and quick drainage. All these advantages make artificial turf have a broad development space and have a great tendency to replace natural grass. Safety The surface temperature of artificial turf varies greatly, especially in summer. Studies have found that the maximum temperature can reach 52°C. Such a high temperature will have a great impact on the athlete's competitive state and personal safety. In addition, the artificial turf has a solid surface and poor cushioning performance, which can easily lead to athletes’ ankles and knee joints injuries. The entire lawn is uniform and will not have bare areas like natural lawns. Artificial turf has strong practicability and simple maintenance. After several generations of updates, the quality of artificial turf is now comparable to natural grass. The surface layer can be recycled and reused and has environmental performance.

 

Before there was no artificial turf, all natural turf was used, but in the development of the times and changes in demand, artificial turf gradually appeared. After comparison, it is found that both artificial turf and natural turf have their own advantages and disadvantages.

When laying artificial turf, quartz sand and rubber are often used, so it can ensure good softness and can even be comparable to natural turf. And when the ambient temperature is low, it is safer to use artificial turf.

Special research has also been done on the issue of injuries. Although injuries are unavoidable in sports, the protection of different types of venues is different. In comparison, when training or playing on artificial turf, injuries such as ankle sprain and ACL tear will not aggravate.

This is because the softness of the artificial turf field is further enhanced, which can reduce the impact and pain during exercise. Of course, artificial turf still needs to have a sense of innovation if products and industries want to move forward.
