ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR LANDSCAPING, SPORT AND RECREATION

ARTIFICIAL GRASS NEVER LOOKED MORE NATURAL

Coolplus® technologyAll SYNLawn products feature proprietary infrared-reflective COOLplus sports yarn technology, which reduces the surface temperature by 10-20% compared to competitor products.

Sunlight is comprised of a wide spectrum of radiation including visible light, UV radiation and infrared (IR). Infrared radiation causes molecular vibration, which translates into heat energy when it is absorbed by an object.

Our proprietary COOLplus yarn technology does not absorb infrared rays, translating into less molecular vibration and cooler surface temperatures.

Our COOLplus technology also creates more of a matte finish to the synthetic fibres, reducing the often shiny appearance of artificial grass. Our premium surfaces are also softer to touch and less abrasive than other artificial grasses.

About SYNLawnAll SYNLawn products are proudly Made in Australia by APT (Advanced Polymer Technology) Asia Pacific in Dandenong South, Melbourne. Founded in 1994, APT Asia Pacific is the leading manufacturer of synthetic turf products for sporting, recreational and landscaping applications. APT Asia Pacific is the only manufacturing plant in Australia that makes synthetic turf yarn.

APT yarns have inbuilt proprietary features not found in any other yarns. They are purpose suited to Australasian conditions, manufactured with ISO quality assurance, proven by continuous testing, and backed by a generous Warranty.

Australian Manufacturer WarrantyAll SYNLawn products come with a standard Manufacturer’s Warranty of up to 15 years (depending on the product). Our Warranty protects customers against issues such as ultra-violet degradation and fibre loss.

We offer a simple and supportive Warranty Claim process. A claim may be lodged anytime during the Warranty period, by notifying us in writing as soon as possible. Within 15 days of notification, one of our SYNLawn representatives will arrange a time for a joint inspection to fairly assess the claim. If the claim is approved, SYNLawn will happily replace the product to the same or equal value.

Our Customer Service and Sales staff are available at all times to offer advice and assistance on the care and maintenance of all surfaces. Should you require more information on our Manufacturer’s Warranty please contact our Customer Service team on 1300 796 529.

Child-safeAll SYNLawn products are free of unsafe

chemicals and are soft to touch and play on. We specialise in supplying and installing artificial grass for schools, child-care centres and playgrounds.

We offer soft shock pad underlay when installing the grass for added cushioning and protection.

Superior DrainageLet it rain! Water (or any other liquid) drains right through our surfaces at a rate of 2000mm per hour.

The punch hole system on the backing of our surfaces quickly allows water to pass through the pile into the ground below, preventing growth of mould and bacteria.

Pet-FriendlyAll of our products are safe and pet-friendly.

Soft under paw, toxic-free and incredibly durable, they are designed to withstand even the most active of pets!

Our safe odour-eliminating infill and spray system keeps unpleasant pet waste and ammonia smells under control. And liquid drains right through the synthetic pile with no pooling, which means no brown stains, mud or puddles.

Of course, maintenance is still required to keep your artificial grass looking it’s best and to ensure longevity. See our SYNLawn Maintenance Guide for more information.

UV StabilisedSYNLawn products are specifically designed and Australian Made for Australian conditions.

That means protecting against the harsh Australian UV rays.

Other inferior quality grasses may not provide protection against fading from intense sunlight and weathering nor might they provide a Warranty.

Our premium quality yarns and surfaces all come with an up to 15 Year Warranty to protect you against UV fading, so you can feel confident that you have chosen the best synthetic grass on the market.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not attempt to lift the grass by yourself. It is advised that the rolls be cut into manageable lengths before moving.

• Always run grass in the same direction.

• Refer to the Product Specification sheet for recommended amount of infill required.

• This installation information has been supplied as a reference guide only. SYNLawn Warranties do not cover installation.

SYNLawn Maintenance

Whilst the upkeep of artificial grass is not as time-consuming and costly as natural grass, it does still require a little maintenance, often.

SETTLEMENT It will take 2-3 months for your

new artificial grass to settle and reach its

optimal condition. During this period the infill

materials penetrate the fibre pile and settle

into the turf structure. Light grooming, using

a medium soft bristle brush, on a regular basis,

will help the pile remain upright and aid infill

settlement.

BRUSHING The main reason for brushing is

to stimulate the top fibres of your artificial

grass, helping them to remain vertical. We

recommend light brushing at least once every

month and performed in multiple directions.

Some infill may appear on the top of your

artificial grass from time to time. Light

brushing will settle it back down.

DEBRIS Debris should be removed from your

artificial grass on a regular basis to prevent

organic matter building up in the turf structure.

We recommend debris removal at least once

every week and can be performed with a leaf

rake and shovel, leaf collecting device such as

Aussie Clean Sweep or a mechanical blower.

Debris build-up may affect the drainage

capabilities of your artificial grass system and

encourage weed growth.

ANIMAL WASTE Animal waste should be

removed from your artificial grass as soon as

you find it and the area washed down with

a warm soapy solution such as household

washing liquid, should it be required. The waste

will not damage your artificial grass, but will

work its way into the artificial grass structure if

left for too long.

STAIN REMOVAL Most stains can be removed

from your artificial grass with warm soapy

water using household washing liquid.

Heavy oil marks can be removed using

mentholated spirits and a cloth. Remember

to wash down the cleaned area with water to

dilute the spirit residue.

TAKE CARE We recommend avoiding the use

of the following items on your artificial grass:

Glass, tin or ceramics: Broken sharp objects can

bury themselves into the turf structure and

potentially cause injury or damage to you and

your artificial grass.

Cigarettes or hot surfaces: Although your

artificial grass has a fire safety rating, open

flames and hot items may melt the fibre pile.

Chewing gum: It can be removed by freezing

the gum and chipping it off the surface.

However it is recommended to avoid having

chewing gum on the grass.

VEHICLES Only light vehicles under 1 tonne,

fitted with wide, low-pressure tyres (8 to 10psi)

should be allowed on your artificial grass.

TREATMENT If you do start to see moss, algae

or weeds growing on or in your artificial grass,

we recommend using the following products:

• Weeds: Round Up/Zero – this compound is

used to control broad leaf weeds and annual

grasses. Apply in a wand-like motion directly

onto the leaf. Do not spray directly onto it.

• Moss/Algae: Wet and Forget - it has a

unique combination of biodegradable selective

surfactants for moss, mould and gunge removal

on any exterior surface.

Please remember to remove all dead matter

including roots and sweep debris off the turf.

BURNS For superficial burns on your artificial

grass, carefully clip the pile with scissors just

below the blackened or melted tips. For large

deep burns you may need to replace that

section of artificial grass. A SYNLawn Certified

Installation Professional will be able to assist.
