Product is everything with this one. Indeed, synthetic grass does not benefit from a natural water supply coursing through each blade and root, acting as a natural heat reducer. But there are many options to consider that will significantly reduce the summer scorch.
Lighter colors absorb less of the sun’s rays, reducing overall heat. We also off a variety of infills that are designed to remain cooler.
On big sports fields, the infill is typically comprised of shredded tire rubber, which helps with impact and injury prevention, but can become scorching hot in direct sunlight. In residential playgrounds, several better options are still safe, non-toxic, and cooler.
After all that, a light spray with a hose is often all that’s needed to cool down the lawn enough for kids or pets to enjoy your new lawn.
