<\/strong>depends on various factors. Along with quality and maintenance, the climate can also play a big role. Here in today’s blog, we will let you know how the tropical climate in KL can be harmful for synthetic turf. Don’t worry, we will also provide the solutions. So, let’s begin the discussion,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs It True That Tropical Weather Damages the Grass Quality? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to most uses and research materials like polyethylene and polypropylene tend to get damaged due to heavy Sun exposure along with UV rays. So, it is our duty to ensure that the grass is not directly exposed to the sunlight or it is having very resistant infills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you know the reasons why the tropical weather damages artificial grass? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- UV degradation\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Whenever it comes to the damage of artificial grass due to any tropical weather, we can’t miss mentioning UV degradation at the top. When an aggress is tolerating prolonged exposure to intense UV rays, it damages the polymer chains in the grass fibre along with the backing material. Aside from this, over time, it can cause colour feeding, loss of resilience, and the blades will lose their strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- High humidity and moisture attention\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In Kuala Lumpur, humidity is a common factor. The humid air slows down the drying process of grass after a rainfall. Due to these moist conditions, bacterial growth is a common problem that most homeowners face. More importantly, in this condition, bacterial growth can be trapped in the backing or underlay. If you are not planning for a great drainage system, then with humidity, this space will start to spread foul odour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Heat builds up\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As we already mentioned, Kuala Lumpur is all about high humidity, hot, and rainy days. So when you are installing artificial grass in such weather conditions, you need to show more attention to the quality. Synthetic fibre always heats up quite fast, which makes the place uncomfortable to work, not only for the kids or pets but also for the adults. Within one hot day, the surface temperature will climb, and expectedly. But to fix the issue, we recommend you have a cooling infill in your grass. Aside from this if you can also plan for a shade over the grass to control the heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the experts’ suggestions, you can spray water over the term blades during extreme heat in the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Heavy rainfall\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Apart from the sun exposure, rain can also make the situation worse. Due to heavy rainfall, the drainage system will suffer the most, and the water will stress the backing. Due to the abnormal water storage, it can lead to weed growth. So, talk to your professional for the best solutions for artificial grass in Kuala Lumpur,<\/strong> and they would definitely help you to overcome all the rainfall issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWrapping Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDepending on the quality, usability, maintenance, and also depending on the purpose, the lifespan of artificial grass depends, from 10 years to up to 20 years.
