Does Artificial Lawn Heat?
All synthetic grasses and artificial turf can heat in full sun, especially in dry climates, however the grass can be cooled by spraying it down with water or putting it in the shade. Infill materials do affect the overall temperature of the surfaces. Of the infill materials available in the market today, black crumbed rubber will always be at the high end of the heat spectrum vs. their lightly colored, granule counterparts. That is why Lawn For Life uses “SuperFill” acrylic sand infill, which helps lower the heat on your lawn. Light-colored Superfill is 50% cooler than crumb rubber infills and keeps the heat down on the grass, making it more comfortable for humans and pets.
