How much silica sand is added to newly installed artificial grass?

The recommended amount of silica sand to add to an artificial turf after installation varies depending on the type and height of the turf, as well as the weather conditions and the intended use of the area.

Generally, it is recommended to add about 5kg of silica sand per square meter of artificial grass for a height of 30-40mm. If the grass is taller, a larger amount of silica sand may be needed to provide adequate support and stability.

It is important to ensure that the sand is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the artificial grass. It is also advisable to use a brushing machine to brush sand into the fibers of the grass, which will help keep the fibers upright and prevent puddles from forming on the grass.

It is important to follow the artificial grass manufacturer's recommendations, as there may be differences in the amount of silica sand required depending on the type and quality of the artificial grass.

Granulometry of silica sand to fill artificial grass.

The particle size of silica sand suitable for raising the pile of artificial grass is between 0.3 and 0.6 mm. This measure allows sand to penetrate the artificial grass and lift the fibers, which improves the appearance and durability of the grass.
