Grab your magnifying glass and take a closer look at artificial grass fiber. Beyond putting greens, you'll find two key components: grass blades and thatching. Grass blades vary in color, height, and shape, while thatching mimics the layers of natural turfgrass tissue. Crafted from shorter, curvier Polypropylene, thatching comes in one or two colors, such as brown, beige, tan, and green. Over the years, synthetic fiber textures, or blade shapes, have evolved from flat, smooth rectangles to enhance product quality and resilience. Blade shape influences several factors, including the grass's ability to withstand foot traffic without flattening and its heat retention properties.
Featured in Turf and Ivy's Performance series, the S-Shape fiber replicates natural sod texture, renowned for its softness, performance, and subtle shine. Treated with anti-UV stabilizers during injection molding, synthetic fibers resist UV radiation, preventing degradation. Thicker S blades with irregular textures and sturdy architectures outperform smooth, flat fibers, easily springing back to an upright position after temporary pressure, enhancing field resilience.
Traditional artificial grass often exhibits a high reflective shine, reminiscent of a "wet" appearance. However, Turf and Ivy's S-Blade artificial grass bucks this trend. With its uneven blade surface, S-Blade fiber disperses sunlight, eliminating the glossy sheen associated with smooth, flat blades, resulting in a more realistic look.
The popularity of S-Blade yarn is undeniable. Paired with proper face weight, double-thatching, and high-quality materials, this unique fiber offers versatile solutions for various applications, including synthetic lawns, commercial and residential projects, playgrounds, and pet areas. Whether for aesthetics or performance, S-Blade fiber stands out as a top performer in the artificial grass industry.
