When searching for artificial turf for football, you will encounter these specific models:
● DW50 (The All-Rounder): The three-color blend (Dark/Light/White) offers a professional TV broadcast look. Its “automatic water permeation” rate is 60+ liters/min/m², making it ideal for rainfall outdoor climates.
● DS50 (The Heavy Duty): Weighing in at 2.51kg/m², this is “armor grade.” It has flame-retardant properties (meets Class C flame-retardant standards), making it ideal for comprehensive high school sports fields that are used for more than 60 hours per week.
●DJK50 (Special Protection): Made with fibers specifically designed for sports protection, it has a slightly soft touch and reduces pressure on joints. Ideal for older players or rugby crossover fields.
● MCDS30 (Sand-Free Solution): 30 mm thick, theoretically suitable for non-commercial use (e.g., home backyard sports fields). Its density of 29,400 stitches per square meter creates an extremely dense “carpet” that requires no filling and prevents skin irritation for young children.
Q1: Is there a color difference between production batches?
A: Yes, slight color variation is an objective possibility in synthetic textile production. Factors include lighting during photography, display calibration, and batch dye lots. Recommendation: Calculate your total square footage (including 10% waste for cuts) and order all turf in a single production batch. Once laid, ensure fibers are brushed in the same direction; brushing against the grain creates an optical dark/light contrast. If you must join two batches, install a dividing line (like a white sideline stripe) to mask the seam.
Q2: How long does 50mm artificial turf last?
A: Based on UV-resistant data sheets provided by manufacturers (such as the DW50/DS50 specs), expected lifespan is 8-12 years for heavy competitive play (15-20 hours/week) and 15-20 years for light recreational play or outdoor playground turf applications. The primary failure point is not the fiber, but the backing and infill compaction.
