Step 1: Prepare the Installation Area
Before installation:
- Remove debris, stones, and dust
- Repair uneven areas
- Check drainage conditions
- Ensure the surface is stable
For soil areas, compacting the base layer helps improve long-term stability.
Step 2: Unroll and Relax the Turf
Artificial turf is usually transported in rolls.
Before final installation:
- Unroll the turf completely
- Allow it to relax for several hours
- Avoid immediate cutting after unpacking
This helps reduce wrinkles caused by transportation.
Step 3: Cut and Position the Turf
When cutting:
- Cut from the backing side whenever possible
- Avoid cutting through grass fibers
- Maintain consistent fiber direction
Correct alignment improves the natural appearance of the finished surface.
Step 4: Connect Seams Properly
For multiple turf pieces:
Recommended practices include:
- Use professional seam tape
- Apply suitable turf adhesive
- Press the seam area evenly
- Allow sufficient curing time before heavy use
Step 5: Secure the Edges
Depending on the application:
- Use fixing pins for soil areas
- Use adhesive or edge profiles for hard surfaces
- Avoid unnecessary drilling on waterproof surfaces
