The Safety Features of Artificial Grass Products for Children
As a parent, you want your children to enjoy playing outside, but you also want to ensure that their play environment is safe. It’s natural to have concerns about the safety of artificial grass, especially when you’re considering installing it in the very place where your children will be running, jumping, and rolling around. At Amazing Turf and Lawn, we understand, and we value these concerns. That’s why we only offer artificial grass products that meet the highest safety and quality standards.
Eliminating Safety Concerns with Non-Toxic Artificial Grass
One key feature of our artificial grass products is their non-toxic nature. Quality artificial grass is crafted from materials that are safe for children, ensuring their outdoor fun is not compromised by harmful substances. In fact, studies have proven that artificial grass doesn’t harbor insects, eliminating the worries of children encountering bug bites when they’re simply enjoying their time outdoors.
Reducing Injury Risks with Cushioning Underlayer
Another important safety feature of artificial grass concerns the potential for injuries from falls. Almost like a built-in safety net, a cushioning underlayer is installed beneath the grass layer. This padded underlay absorbs the impact if a child falls, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury. Picture it like the padding under your carpet, but designed to withstand the Texas outdoor weather and children’s rambunctious activities.
Staving Off the San Antonio Heat with Cooling Technologies
As natives of San Antonio, TX, we know all too well how scorching the summers can get. This heat can often make outdoor surfaces uncomfortably hot to touch, discouraging playful kids from their outdoor activities. However, our artificial grass incorporates heat reduction technology, rendering the surface cooler than hardscapes like concrete and reducing the risk of children suffering undesirable burns. How it works is by reflecting sunlight instead of absorbing it, much like how a white shirt feels cooler in the summer than a dark one. Another element is the porous nature of our synthetic grass products. These encourage better circulation and speeds up heat dissipation.
Keeping It Clean and Hypoallergenic for Little Ones
Artificial grass doesn’t turn muddy even after a heavy Texas rainstorm. The infill and drainage system keep the surface dry and ready for play at any time. This saves your home from mud tracks and eliminates any cleaning hassles. An added bonus, artificial grass is hypoallergenic, reducing your child’s exposure to allergens like dust and pollen. For parents of children with allergies, this can provide some much-needed peace of mind.
Reliable Certifications for Safer Spaces
When choosing safe artificial grass for your family, always look for products that adhere to stringent safety standards and hold relevant certifications. For instance, a product certified lead-free by the Synthetic Turf Council (STC) should be your primary choice. Besides STC, products should also comply with ASTM’s safety and quality measures.
Considerations for a Safer Playtime
At Amazing Turf and Lawn, our goal is to ensure the safety of your children as they enjoy their playtime. So, when you’re considering artificial grass, remember the benefits of its safety features, from cushioning underlayers and heat reduction properties to hypoallergenic advancements and recognized safety certifications. Your children deserve the best, and with our state-of-the-art artificial grass options, safety is never a compromise.
