Artificial Grass Cooling

Artificial Turf: A Sustainable and Timeless Choice

In today's retail landscape dominated by giants like Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Ace Hardware, Amazon, and Wayfair, opting for artificial turf is a game-changing decision. Beyond its eco-friendly benefits of water conservation and cost reduction, synthetic lawns offer a lifelike appearance, soft texture, and remarkable durability. Explore cooling solutions to enhance comfort in warmer climates, ensuring your artificial grass stays cool and enjoyable. Make informed decisions for a lush, hassle-free landscape that withstands the test of time.

Enhancing Comfort with Turf And Ivy

While artificial grass may warm up more than natural alternatives, Turf And Ivy is committed to innovative solutions for cooler outdoor spaces. Research by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) underscores the importance of managing synthetic turf temperatures, particularly in hot, dry climates. Our dedication to technological advancement led to the development of KoolMax Cooling Technology in 2014, which can reduce turf temperatures by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. This breakthrough is particularly beneficial for residents in Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona, where extreme heat is a daily challenge. As artificial grass gains popularity, we provide guidance on selecting the right turf and maintaining cooler environments. Explore our range and discover how Turf And Ivy can transform your outdoor space into a comfortable oasis.

Artificial Grass: A Cool Choice for Your Outdoor Oasis

While artificial grass may not transpire like live plants, it offers the same lush appearance without the need for constant watering and maintenance. However, like all plastics, synthetic turf can retain heat, making it essential to choose the right materials for your project.

Different plastics have varying melting points, with Nylon and Polypropylene being popular choices for their durability and resistance to heat. When considering artificial grass, it's crucial to factor in the material's melting point and your area's exposure to sunlight.

For sunny outdoor spaces, Polypropylene offers an affordable yet realistic option. Polyester or Acrylic may be suitable for shaded areas but lack the durability of Nylon or Polypropylene.

To combat overheating, consider infill options like natural sand, which absorbs shock, fights bacteria, and retains water to keep the turf cool. Additionally, innovative technologies like TCool infill utilize evaporative cooling, reducing turf temperatures significantly.

By making informed decisions about materials and infills, you can enjoy a beautiful, sustainable lawn that stays cool even in the hottest weather. Choose Turf and Ivy for your synthetic grass needs and create a comfortable outdoor oasis for years to come.

Innovative Cooling with KoolMax Technology

At Turf And Ivy, our commitment to revolutionizing synthetic turf includes advancements like KoolMax Technology. Developed by Global Syn-Turf, KoolMax has transformed the landscape with its innovative cooling properties, keeping surface temperatures significantly lower than traditional turf.

While engineered surfaces like concrete and plastics heat up in sunlight, synthetic turf often exacerbates this issue. Unlike natural substances, which release heat through radiative cooling, synthetic compounds lack inherent cooling mechanisms.

KoolMax tackles this challenge by enhancing heat dissipation through its unique blade design. With larger, multi-faceted surfaces, KoolMax turf blades efficiently disperse heat, ensuring a cooler environment even in the harshest sunlight. This breakthrough technology represents a significant milestone in creating comfortable, sustainable outdoor spaces. Experience the difference with Turf And Ivy's KoolMax-enhanced turf solutions.

How KoolMax Works?

KoolMax technology is based on the kinetic theory of matter and the principle of conduction. When the electromagnetic energy emitted from the sun hits the turf surface, it speeds up the molecules of the area exposed to the sunlight. If a blade is flat, the kinetic energy of the entire surface is immediately affected. The KoolMax or W-shaped blades have four facets instead of one. Thus, the energy transmission slows down as it must pass energy from the initially heated facet to the next one by one. The continuously colliding and jiggling particles start hitting the neighboring molecules to reach the thermal equilibrium in each blade. The increased conduction time allows less thermal buildup during the hotter part of a clear day when most needed.
