This distinction is particularly important when comparing non-infill artificial turf.
Warranty period
The warranty is the period during which the manufacturer or supplier agrees to provide a remedy for specified defects or performance failures, subject to the warranty terms.
Depending on the product, warranty coverage may relate to issues such as:
- Excessive color degradation
- Premature fiber deterioration
- Abnormal fiber loss
- Backing failure
- Delamination
- Manufacturing defects
The exact definitions and thresholds vary between manufacturers.
Expected service life
Service life is the period during which the installed turf remains suitable for its intended application.
It depends on:
product quality + usage intensity + climate + installation + maintenance
Therefore:
An 8-year warranty does not mean the turf can only be used for 8 years.
Likewise, an 8-year warranty should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every installation will perform identically for eight years.
