What is the best length or pile height for artificial grass?

What is pile height?

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

Pile height is the length of the blades, measured from the backing to the tip. It&#;s expressed in millimetre (mm) and ranges from less than 10 mm to over 50 mm. For lawns and gardens, pile heights between 25 mm and 40 mm are most common.

Finding the right pile height for your project all depends on the intended use. How much foot traffic are you expecting? For example, contact sports, such as football or rugby, require different artificial grass solutions than untrodden home lawns. Aesthetics can also be a gamechanger: what should your artificial grass look like? Some prefer short, neat grass, while others want longer, lush-looking artificial grass.

When there are pets and kids around, most people go for a lower pile height for their artificial grass. It makes cleaning easier, and this way, you prevent your dog or cat from waging war with your garden &#; and winning. Short artificial grass also looks neater. That&#;s why decorative designs can be found in this category of pile heights. Last but not least, certain sports, such as padel and tennis, are bound to strict infrastructure rules that require short grass.

The longer the grass, the more realistic your artificial landscaping project will look. On the other hand, a lengthy lawn or terrace makes removing dirt or leaves slightly more time consuming. If you&#;re looking to combine the best of both worlds, 20 mm to 30 mm is your go-to pile height for artificial grass. Your lawn will look like it&#;s just been mowed and, together with the right pile density, should be resilient enough to tolerate a great deal of foot traffic.
