Posted by The Synthetic Turf Co. Calgary on 1st Dec 2023
When it comes to artificial grass, you'll want to get the best turf products you can afford. Although a higher price doesn't always mean a better product, in general, you'll find that the synthetic grass products that look and feel the closest to natural grass also tend to cost a bit more. In our experience, the highest-quality artificial turf comes from North America, and we are proud to provide North American-made turf products for our customers. Read on to learn more about what makes North American artificial grass superior. Call us today for a consultation!
Stricter Manufacturing Standards
In Canada and the United States, artificial grass manufacturers must meet certain standards in terms of the safety of their products and the materials they use. While other countries have manufacturing standards as well, the regulations in North America tend to be much stronger. This forces manufacturers to ensure that their products are high-quality so that they don't get fined or shut down.
When regulations are more lenient, manufacturers can be tempted to utilize lower-quality materials or to cut corners on safety. Of course, there are plenty of reputable artificial grass manufacturers that exceed the requirements in their countries to produce products of a similar quality level to those in North America. However, looser regulations make it more difficult to be sure what you are getting.
Better Quality Control
Artificial grass manufacturers that are willing to use low-quality materials to save money are less likely to go to the time and expense of extensive product testing and quality control. In North America, on the other hand, the tighter regulations require more stringent quality control measures.
In addition to ensuring the overall quality of the synthetic lawn products, increased quality control and testing also contribute to greater consistency in the products. Not only that, but you'll tend to see turf products that are more durable, maintain their color better, and are more resistant to damage. Product testing can uncover any defects or flaws with the product so that it can be improved.
Longer Warranties
Because of the overall higher quality of North American artificial grass products, they generally last much longer than cheaper, lower-quality varieties. That is why you'll often find synthetic turf from North America with warranties of 25 years or more, compared with just a few years on many imports.
When manufacturers are confident in the quality of their products, they are more comfortable offering longer warranties. In the event that there is a defect with your artificial grass, however unlikely, a longer, more robust warranty will give you greater protection and peace of mind.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Artificial grass in general is better for the environment, as it doesn't require mowing, which can create pollution, or watering. However, not all countries have as strong of environmental regulations as North American countries do, so their manufacturing processes can contribute to pollution.
In addition, importing products from overseas creates even more carbon emissions from planes, trains, trucks, and other modes of transport. Choosing North American products keeps transport times and distances to a minimum.
