Artificial grass appears to look the same, doesn’t it? The reality is that different artificial grass products are worlds apart when quality is taken into concept.
The quality, longevity and lead content issues may not be apparent at first but many Chinese artificial grass products have developed signs of little or no UV stability and colour fastness within the first twelve months. If the material used to produce the artificial grass cannot be tracked back to a European manufacturer it is highly unlikely the grass is lead free and fit for the investor’s purpose. Cheap artificial grass including Chinese imports do not have a warranty valid in Europe therefore guarantees and replacements are highly unlikely.
Have you seen artificial grass in a hardware shop or carpet shop? These products are likely to be cheap artificial grass imports. Ask yourself this question, can these types of shops provide you with a copy of a ten year warranty prior to sale? It is unlikely.
