Different courts also need to use different artificial turf. It is also important to choose the appropriate specifications. The same artificial turf has different specifications, such as needle, density, grass, etc. The service life of different artificial turf is also different.

2. Artificial turf construction stage


Why does the construction of artificial turf affect the service life of artificial turf? The construction of artificial turf mainly involves the quality of foundation and some problems in the process of artificial turf laying. If these two aspects are not well done, the service life of artificial turf cannot be guaranteed. The general foundation used for artificial turf is C25 cement foundation and asphalt foundation, and the foundation must be carried out according to the requirements. In the process of laying artificial turf, attention should also be paid to the filling of auxiliary materials, mainly rubber particles and quartz sand.

The service life of artificial turf is not only determined by its quality and construction quality, but also closely related to its later maintenance. If the later maintenance is not in place, the service life of the artificial turf is also very short. Later maintenance must pay attention to the prohibition of smoking, kindling and snacks in the artificial turf field. The site should be cleaned once a month, and if there is a competition, it should be cleaned immediately. Always pay attention to whether the artificial turf is degummed and off-line and repair it immediately.
