How do I know which one to choose? Artificial turf face weight refers to the weight of the yarn fibers per square yard in a turf product. Generally, the higher the face weight, the denser and more durable the turf will be. However, there are other factors to consider when choosing the right face weight for your needs. Here are some key differences in face weights for artificial turf: Lighter face weights: Typically, lighter face weights are around 30-50 ounces per square yard. These products are suitable for areas with low traffic or for decorative purposes, such as landscaping or rooftop installations. Medium face weights: Medium face weights range from 50-70 ounces per square yard. These products are suitable for moderate traffic areas like residential lawns, playgrounds, or pet areas. Heavy face weights: Heavy face weights are typically over 70 ounces per square yard. These products are suitable for high-traffic areas such as sports fields, commercial landscapes, and other areas that require durability and resilience. When choosing the right face weight for your artificial turf, consider the amount of foot traffic the area will receive, the intended use of the turf, and your budget. Generally, a higher face weight will result in a more durable product, but it may also come with a higher price tag.
