Instructions for Roll Synthetic Turf Flooring

Rolled synthetic turf is a practical and effective method to achieve a green and aesthetic surface without the maintenance requirements of natural grass. Whether you want to cover your backyard, balcony, or sports area, proper installation ensures long-lasting and flawless appearance. This guide presents the necessary steps for professional results.

Step-by-Step Guide to Laying Rolled Synthetic Turf

Rolled synthetic turf is specially manufactured in factories with advanced machines and then rolled up, hence its name. The turf is delivered in rolls, making it easy to lay in your garden. In fact, it is the synthetic, ready-to-use version of classic natural grass and is very practical for landscape applications. The artificial turf we produce is next-generation, equipped with the latest technology and FIFA production certifications. It is highly resistant to all weather conditions.

How to Choose the Most Suitable Artificial Turf?

Artificial turf within the Reform Sports product range is offered in various models and is usually supplied in rolls of different widths. For smaller applications, narrower rolls make installation easier. Since synthetic turf types vary in color and texture, it is best to evaluate the ideal shade with an on-site sample. While economical options are widely available, premium models with advanced drainage features and durability provide long-term performance. To enjoy your surface for many years, it is recommended to choose high-quality artificial turf.

1. Start laying the turf from a corner and place the first strip neatly along the edge. This strip will serve as a reference for the alignment of the others.
2. Make sure there are no gaps, overlaps, or diagonal joins between strips.
3. Use a utility knife or shovel to trim the edges for a perfect fit.
4. Place plywood or boards in some areas to avoid stepping directly on the turf and prevent crushing. Otherwise, unevenness that is difficult to flatten may occur.
5. Once the entire area is covered, roll the surface to increase contact between the turf and the ground. Step only on the compacted areas while doing this.
6. Immediately after laying, water the turf with 15–20 liters per square meter, but avoid creating puddles.

Artificial Turf Installation

After selecting the appropriate turf rolls, installation can begin. It is important that the surface is clean and dry to prevent moisture accumulation. Start laying turf strips from one end of the balcony or terrace. At the end of each strip, cut the turf to the desired length with a sharp knife. Continue until the entire surface is covered, making sure no gaps are left between strips, otherwise there is a risk of tripping. To ensure seams do not lift and remain flat, press the joints firmly.

Fixing the Seams with Adhesive

Once the entire surface is covered, the seams are secured with artificial turf adhesive. This prevents edges from slipping and eliminates tripping hazards. Then, to anchor the turf to the ground, place special fixing nails at the corners or edges. Finally, brush the surface with a stiff broom to lift the turf fibers upright. After the adhesive dries (usually this takes less than an hour), you can place your garden furniture back. Since artificial grass carpet is easy to cut, round or sloped areas can also be covered effortlessly.

For professional synthetic turf installation, the following steps should be followed:

• Clean the application area, such as a balcony or terrace
• Ensure the surface is flat, dry, and clean
• Lay the artificial turf and cut to the desired dimensions
• Secure the seams with adhesive properly
• Brush the surface to smooth it out
• Add extra support with fixing nails if needed

Artificial Turf Maintenance Tips

Balcony turf requires very little maintenance. Unlike real grass, it does not need mowing or weeding. Regular cleaning with a vacuum cleaner is sufficient. Larger debris can be removed with a broom or leaf rake.

Pet waste can easily be cleaned with warm water and a soft brush. Check occasionally for water accumulation under the turf. Especially if the balcony is outdoors, moisture can cause mold, which may damage both the artificial grass carpet and the floor. With proper care, artificial turf for balconies or terraces can last up to 15 years without any problems.
