Even a well-engineered artificial turf product can develop premature flattening if installation is poor.
Prepare a Stable and Level Base
The base should be:
- Properly compacted
- Sufficiently level
- Free from sharp debris
- Designed for adequate drainage
For outdoor installations, the exact drainage slope should be determined according to the site and drainage system. A commonly used design range for many outdoor areas is approximately 0.3%–0.6%, although project-specific engineering requirements may differ.
Install the Turf Without Excessive Stretching
Artificial turf should be laid flat and tensioned appropriately.
Overstretching the material can create unwanted fiber angles and dimensional stress.
Insufficient tension, meanwhile, can leave:
- Wrinkles
- Waves
- Loose areas
The objective is a stable, flat installation rather than maximum mechanical tension.
