Performance Turf Rolls

Installation Instructions for Performance Artificial Turf Rolls

Preparation

1. Surface Preparation

   • Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and level.
   • Remove any debris, dust, or grease.
   • For outdoor installations, remove all grasses, sod, mulches, etc., from the marked areas.

2. Acclimation

   • Allow the Performance Turf Rolls to acclimate to the environment for at least 24 hours before installation.
   • Lay out the rolls in the area where they will be installed to let them adjust.

Outdoor Installation (Glue Down Method)

1. Dry Lay and Sequencing

   • Dry lay the turf rolls to implement roll sequencing and minimize normal variations.
   • Manufacturing details will be back stamped on one side of the backing; use this to determine fiber direction.

2. Adhesive Application

   • Apply pressure-sensitive adhesive or double-sided tape to the surface.
   • Lay the turf on the adhesive.

3. Seaming

   • Apply a bead of seam sealer to all seams.
   • Roll the product with a 75 lb. weighted roller across the product surface’s width and length.

4. Curing

   • The installation must remain in dry conditions for 72 hours to allow the adhesive to cure properly.

Outdoor Installation (Non-Infilled Synthetic Lawn Method)

1. Area Preparation

   • Remove all grasses, sods, mulches, etc., from the marked areas.
   • Mark around trees, shrubbery, flowers, light poles, utilities, etc., and account for the turf edge configuration.
   • Leave ample area uncovered around the bases of trees.

2. Base Construction

   • Compact the native soil/subgrade before base construction.
   • Add a base of crushed rock and level it with a landscaping rake to approximately 3” thick.
   • Spray with water and use a hand tamper to compact the area, typically requiring 2-3 passes.
   • Let the compacted area dry and check for any inconsistencies.

3. Laying Turf

   • Roll the synthetic turf out on top of the constructed base.
   • Ensure the fibers’ grain on each turf roll is running in the same direction if using multiple rolls.
   • Trim the untufted edge and around the borders to match the edges.

4. Seaming

   • Fold the adjacent trimmed edges of two rolls of turf approximately 2’ apart along the length of the seam.
   • Roll out the seaming tape and apply adhesive with a 1/8” trowel.
   • Center the seaming tape and lay the edges of each turf roll directly onto the tape, ensuring no tape is showing and the joint is invisible.
   • Add weight to the seams and allow the adhesive to cure overnight.

5. Securing Turf and Brushing

   • Stake down the turf along the perimeter every 3’ with landscape spikes.
   • Use a stiff-bristled broom to stand the fibers up.
   • Sand infill is optional.

Indoor Installation (Glue Down Method)

1. Surface Preparation

   • Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry.
   • Suitable surfaces include concrete, dusting, powdering concrete, pressure-treated decking, wood, or backer board.

2. Dry Lay and Sequencing

   • Dry lay the turf rolls to implement roll sequencing and minimize normal variations.
   • Manufacturing details will be back stamped on one side of the backing; use this to determine fiber direction.

3. Adhesive Application

   • Apply adhesive or double-sided tape to the surface.
   • Lay the turf on the adhesive.

4. Seaming

   • Apply a bead of seam sealer to all seams.
   • Roll the product with a 75 lb. weighted roller across the product surface’s width and length.

5. Curing

   • The installation must remain in dry conditions for 72 hours to allow the adhesive to cure properly.

     Additional Tips

     • Fiber Direction: Ensure the fibers’ grain on each turf roll runs in the same direction for a uniform look.
     • Batch Variations: Be aware that there may be slight color variations between different batches of turf rolls.

Artificial Turf Maintenance

1. Cleaning

   • Regularly sweep or vacuum the turf to remove dirt and debris.
   • Clean spills promptly with a damp mop and mild detergent.

2. UV Stability and Drainage

   • The non-cushioned version of Performance Turf Rolls is UV stable and has perforations for drainage, suitable for outdoor use.
