  • Drainage Mats for Patios, Balconies, and Pet Areas

    A concrete slab cannot absorb water vertically in the way a permeable aggregate base can. Where water needs to travel laterally toward a drain or open edge, a drainage mat can create space beneath the turf for that movement.

    This can be particularly useful on balconies, rooftops, patios, pet areas, and other hard surfaces exposed to rain, washing, or urine. A drainage mat, however, still needs a suitable outlet. It cannot solve standing water caused by a slab that slopes toward a closed low point.

    For pet areas, drainage-friendly padding can help reduce the risk of urine and water pooling below the surface, but the concrete still needs a clear drainage path. Play areas require impact performance to be considered as part of the complete surfacing system, while patios and light-traffic areas may only need a slimmer comfort layer.

    How Much Padding Do You Need?

    There is no universal thickness or density that makes an underlay suitable for every concrete installation.

    A thicker pad may provide more cushioning, but thickness alone does not tell you how the material will perform under repeated loading. Density, compression resistance, drainage structure, recovery, expected traffic, and the turf system above it all matter.

    For landscaping, the goal may simply be to soften the feel of the slab and maintain a smooth surface. Sports and playground applications require performance to be evaluated against the demands of the complete system rather than choosing the thickest available pad.

    Drainage Pad vs. Solid Foam: Which Is Better?

    Start with the exposure conditions.

    For an outdoor slab, pet area, or frequently washed surface, drainage usually deserves priority. The system needs to let moisture pass through the turf and then move toward a drain or edge.

    For covered indoor applications where water exposure is minimal, cushioning and stability may matter more than open drainage. Solid or closed-cell padding can therefore be appropriate, provided it is compatible with the turf and installation method.

    Neither type should be assumed to stay in place automatically. Correct joint treatment and fixing are important because movement in the padding can eventually become visible through the turf above.

  • Types of Underlay for Artificial Turf on Concrete

    Three main underlay systems cover most concrete turf applications: foam cushioning, sports shock pads, and drainage mats. The right option depends on whether the main requirement is comfort, impact performance, drainage, or a combination of these functions.

    Foam Underlay for Comfort and Light Cushioning

    Foam underlay can add comfort and shock absorption over a hard concrete surface, but the required material and thickness depend strongly on the application.

    For playgrounds, do not select padding by thickness alone. The turf, padding, and supporting surface should be treated as a complete surfacing system and selected according to the impact-performance requirements of the project.

    For indoor fitness applications, some turf products integrate the cushion into the product itself. Grace Grass PU foam padded gym turf, for example, is available with a 5–10 mm foam backing for additional comfort, shock absorption, and stability over hard floors.

    Rubber and Sports Shock Pads for Impact Absorption

    Rubber and engineered sports shock pads are used where impact absorption, surface response, and long-term stability matter more than simple walking comfort.

    For football and other sports projects, the pad should be selected as part of the complete turf system rather than as an isolated layer. For playground applications, the complete installed system should meet the applicable impact-attenuation or critical-fall-height requirements for the project.

  • What to Put Under Artificial Turf on Concrete

    Artificial grass on a concrete patio, balcony, or walkway looks the same as turf on soil — but it feels completely different underfoot unless the right layer goes between the slab and the grass. That layer, the turf underlayment, can improve cushioning, stability, and drainage over a hard slab.

    Can You Install Artificial Turf Directly on Concrete?

    When Direct Installation Can Work

    You can sometimes install artificial grass directly over concrete or paving without a separate pad. The slab should be stable, reasonably smooth, and free of problem areas that could show through the finished turf.

    Drainage also matters. Repair or level problem areas as appropriate without blocking the intended drainage path. A covered, low-traffic decorative area is one of the situations where direct installation may be suitable.

    When You Need Underlay, Padding, or Drainage

    An additional layer becomes useful when the project needs more comfort, impact absorption, surface protection, or lateral drainage.

    For wet or outdoor areas, drainage should be assessed before the underlay is selected; the detailed drainage checks are covered below.

  • Facing the high temperature of artificial grass surface, countermeasures

    Artificial grass has grown rapidly in recent years because it requires less maintenance than natural grass, can look good for a decade or more, and can be used for a variety of sports, with many advantages. However, in terms of high-temperature resistance, artificial grass is not as good as natural grass.

    The surface temperature of artificial grass and natural grass will increase with the increase of ambient temperature, and the surface temperature of artificial grass will increase more than that of natural grass, and the maximum difference between the two can reach about 30 degrees.

    To this end, some well-known domestic and foreign artificial turf manufacturers have made a fuss about technological innovation, in order to solve the problem of excessive turf surface temperature in summer.

    At present, some factories can reduce the temperature of turf by changing the formula and structure of grass fiber. Compared with ordinary lawns, the lawn improved by this technology can be cooled by 20%.

    The drop in temperature is considerable. There are also manufacturers that cooldown by applying new infills, such as the American artificial turf manufacturer. The company’s latest turf system uses a substance called ZeoFill to replace the traditional fillers of quartz sand and rubber granules. ZeoFill, an organic mineral used in water filtration systems and health food supplements, retains moisture and helps reduce the surface temperature of the site.

    In addition, many sports fields also use auxiliary equipment to cool the field, such as water guns. A Utah school district spokesman said, “At present, the latest price of an artificial grass field is between 1 million and 1.2 million US dollars. Part of this money is used to cool the field before the game.” The field is equipped with water spray equipment. , can spray 225 gallons (about 852 liters) of water in one minute.

    The temperature of the unwatered turf was measured at 54 degrees; in another area that was watered, the temperature dropped significantly to only 32 degrees. The cooling effect is obvious.

    However, despite the precautionary measures, the power of the sun cannot be underestimated. Whether it is an adult or a child, try to avoid exercising outdoors on hot days to avoid dehydration and heat stroke.

    As for some people’s concerns: Will artificial grass volatilize more chemicals on high-temperature days? The artificial grass raw material itself has no volatility, and there is no volatile matter even at high temperatures. The EU REACH has limited 170 hazardous substances, and the artificial grass supplied by MANGO SPORTS is produced according to this requirement.

  • How to cool down the artificial turf surface?

    How high can the surface temperature of artificial grass reach in hot summer? The KSL TV station in Utah, USA, has done the test.

    First stop of the survey: Salt Lake City Liberty Park

    Take out a temperature gun you bought at the hardware store and measure the temperature of the artificial grass surface on the spot. The highest temperature reached 85.6 degrees!

    The second stop of the survey: a new park in St. George

    In St. George, Utah, the temperature can exceed 43.3 degrees at its hottest. In a new local park, the temperature of artificial turf is almost sky-high – as high as 87.8 degrees!

    Therefore, parents should pay attention and let their children wear shoes to play with! Do not let children crawl on artificial grass in the sun.

    Survey stop 3: Multiple schools in Utah

    The surface temperature of the turf at one school showed 177 degrees Fahrenheit, or 80.6 degrees Celsius.

    It’s really hot! What problems can such high temperatures cause?

    In the 1990s, a football coach punished his players for crawling on artificial turf, resulting in several blisters on the players’ hands (the coach was suspended for two games). It is reported that the temperature of the turf that day was about 54 degrees.

  • One-component artificial grass glue is suitable for garden

    One-component artificial grass glue is suitable for garden, and leisure artificial grass installation for the following reasons:

    1. A bucket of 1 gallon of one-component glue (4.2KG) can be used for 70 meters long seam tape, and the width is 30cm. Suitable for small areas of recreational grass.

    2. One-component glue is not easy to cure and can be used after sealing.

    3. The shelf life is one year, and it needs to be sold or used within one year.

    One-component glue can be coated with black PP connecting tape, and PU artificial grass glue can only stick to PET connecting tape. There is no difference in performance. Some customers prefer two-component glue, while others prefer one-component glue. Two-component glue is generally used in sports fields, with fast curing and high efficiency. Calculated from the overall cost, two-component glue The cost of coating is higher than that of one-component coating.

    In addition, there is also a 310ml piece of glue that is glued with a glue gun.

  • Artificial grass installation glue

    Two-component artificial grass glue

    1. It is especially suitable to use two-component artificial grass glue on the sports field, because it cures quickly, which helps to improve the installation efficiency of artificial grass fields.

    2. But the shelf life of the two-component is relatively short, the main agent is 12 months, the curing agent is 6 months,

    Therefore, the two-component glue has a shelf life of half a year, which means that it should be used within 5 months after receiving the artificial grass glue.

    3 A bucket of artificial grass glue can be used for 160 meters of long seam tape, and the width is 30cm.

    4. This artificial grass two-component glue is PU glue, which must be used together with the PET connecting tape, used under the correct instructions and guidance, the life of the glue is as long as that of artificial grass.

    5. The two-component glue will cure within an hour after opening the cover. Please use it as soon as possible after stirring after opening it.
