Press releases from the leader in artificial grass
Official press releases from SYNLawn® artificial grass.
Made in the USA, our biobased products are 100% recyclable using renewable and recycled materials during the manufacturing process. Using SYNLawn can reduce your carbon footprint by conserving water, eliminating emissions from lawn equipment and lowering the impact on landfills due to its long life expectancy.
SYNLawn’s exclusive EnviroLoc™ Backing System has an enhanced multi-layer component system that “locks” in durable turf fibers, extending the product’s life cycle.
Engineered using BioCel™ technology, the EnviroLoc Backing System replaces a large portion of petroleum-based polymers with biobased polymers created from soybean plants (a renewable resource), then adds Celceram™ (a recycled product of coal combustion) for superior strength and dimensional stability.
The EnviroLoc bi-component primary backing includes two layers of woven backing stitched together while adding a layer of polypropylene fiber in between. Together these biobased technologies provide a sturdy anchor for fibers for less “shedding” as well as provide an environmentally responsible approach to artificial grass that conserves Earth’s natural resources and will look great for years to come.
For environmentally conscious builders and specifiers, SYNLawn offers water efficient landscaping products using recycled content, renewable materials and innovative design which can contribute points to LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) project certification.
As a proud member of IPEMA (International Playground Equipment Manufacturers Association), SYNLawn is proud to announce the certification of 6 playground installation methods.
When it comes to your kids, nothing is more important than safety. That is why SYNLawn continues to refine our synthetic turf products and installation standards for IPEMA compliant SYNLawn Playground Systems.
With an IPEMA certified installation you can rest easy knowing your SYNLawn Playground System is a safe play area tested by an independent 3rd party, specific to public safety. SYNLawn also offers customers a Certificate of Compliance verifying an IPEMA certified installation.
In the interest of public safety, The International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association “IPEMA” provides a Third Party Certification Service where an independent laboratory validates a participant’s certification of conformance to ASTM F1292 Standard for Impact Attenuation of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment safety standards for their products.
In addition to the safety components of an IPEMA certified installation, SYNLawn was among the first to recognize the need to create grass products and alternate installation methods incorporating additional safety measures when it comes to play areas. With a fastener-free installation SYNLawn’s playground systems remove the possibility of little ones being injured by sharp objects.
Additionally, SYNLawn’s exclusive Heatblock Technology™ reflects infrared rays from the sun for cooler surface temperatures. Furthermore, SYNLawn’s playground systems may also include exclusive TrampleZones™ in high-impact areas to increase child safety and extend the lifespan of the play area.
For designers and specifiers this provides the opportunity to offer IPEMA Certified installations which provide an end-user the highest level of ASTM F1292 compliance, the ability to write a specification offering an IPEMA Certified installation, and the confidence that you are offering a safe playground installation solution.
Certified installation methods include the use of:
- SYNBermuda 200 (10’ critical fall height)
- SYNTipede 351 (9’ critical fall height)
- SYNTipede 322 (10’ critical fall height)
- SYNGreen 200 (9’ critical fall height)
- Two methods using SYNLawn’s basix 100 (5’ and 9’ critical fall heights)
