With the new technological advances in turf cooling systems, it’s easier than ever to keep your artificial grass cool. There are cooling systems that can be integrated directly into your artificial turf installation. These systems work similarly to radiant floor heating but in reverse. They circulate cool water or air beneath the turf surface, helping to maintain a lower temperature. Though more expensive, these systems are highly effective for maintaining a consistently cool turf surface.
Maintenance Tips for Cooler Turf
Regular Cleaning and Brushing
Keeping your artificial grass clean and well-maintained can also help with cooling. Regularly brushing the turf keeps the blades upright, promoting better airflow, which can naturally reduce heat. Cleaning off any debris or dirt will prevent the buildup of materials that can retain heat.
Periodic Watering and Misting
Periodic watering and misting can keep your artificial grass cool. A light spray in the afternoon or during peak heat times can lower the temperature of the turf instantly. Use a garden hose or a misting system to ensure even coverage and effectiveness in cooling.
