4.1 Check UV Stabilization
- Look for “UV-resistant” or “high UV protection” labels (minimum 5,000+ hours of UV testing).
4.2 Fiber Material Matters
- Polyethylene (PE) – Best for color retention and softness.
- Nylon – Most durable but less soft (ideal for high-traffic areas).
- Avoid low-grade polypropylene (PP), which fades quickly.
4.3 Backing & Infill Quality
- Latex-backed turf lasts longer than polyurethane-backed turf.
- High-quality rubber/sand infill improves shock absorption and fiber support.
4.4 Warranty & Manufacturer Reputation
- 8+ years warranty indicates confidence in product durability.
- Choose established brands (e.g., Mango Sports).
