Requirements for laying artificial grass

Condor Grass artificial grass

Geo-Textile: stabilises the surface underneath the artificial grass

Glue for artificial grass: for glueing the joins in the artificial grass

Glue spreader: to spread the glue evenly

Grass seaming tape: for quick and easy glueing of joins in the artificial grass

Stanley knife: for cutting the artificial grass to the exact size

Ties for artificial grass: to fasten the artificial grass more securely

Silica sand: sanding down the artificial grass down provides added stability for the mat and extra protection for the artificial

grass fibres.

Brush or broom: for brushing the artificial grass straight

Instructions for installing artificial grassBefore laying the artificial grass always make a plan to ensure you are aware of where any joins maybe and how much artificial

grass you will actually need.

5/6 CM

Remove any old grass, level the surface and spread a substantial layer of building sand across the surface

(5 to 6 cm).

Compact this layer of sand properly and sprinkle with water.

Level the sand so that you are left with a nice even surface.

Roll the geo-textile out and cut to size.

Roll out the artificial grass, making sure to even out any creases. The pile should point towards the spot from

where you are most likely to view the grass.

MAX4MM

Repeat the steps above until all the artificial grass is in place.

>4M

>4M

For surfaces that exceed more than 4 m you will have a join. If this is not the case, go to *

* Cut the edges to the required shape/outline.

If you do need to make a join, pull back the artificial grass and make a join between the two rolls with a Stanley

knife. The black backing to which the artificial grass fibres are attached will protrude a little on both sides. These

sides must be cut away.

+2/3 CM

If the temperature drops, it’s possible the artificial grass will shrink. The artificial grass may contract if it is laid during

the day when temperatures are between 20 to 25 degrees Celsius and it cools to 17 degrees Celsius in the evening. We

would advise when you lay the artificial grass so that you leave 2 to 3 centimetres extra in length.

Check the artificial grass for any production defects.

To enhance the wear and appearance of your Condor Grass we recommend you to

spread silica sand onto the artificial grass (5kg per m2).

Roll out the next strip of artificial grass and repeat the same process as for the first strip of artificial grass. Lay

both pieces together and check that they are properly aligned and no join can be seen (the width of the join

between the two strips should be no more than 4 mm).

Remove all the left-over pieces and brush the artificial grass with a brush or broom.

Pull back both pieces and apply the artificial grass seaming tape or the adhesive tape directly under the join.

Lay both pieces of artificial grass together again and carefully apply pressure to the glue with your hands on the

backing of the artificial grass.

Use and maintenance

Maintenance

Regular brushing of the artificial grass with a broom, a leaf rake or leaf blower will help keep the fibres straight and even.

Cleaning

Leaves and other dirt can be removed with a brush or broom. Leaves can also be removed using a leaf rake or leaf blower. Do not

use a steel brush. If anything should get spilt on the grass, wash away with water. Dog or cat faeces can best be left to harden

and then removed with a spade or towel. Chewing gum and such like can be removed by picking it carefully from the grass. Never

use solvents!

Brushing

When it has first been laid, the artificial grass may have a flattened look. Carefully brush the grass straight with a brush or broom.

Likewise after a period of intensive use, the grass may appear to be flat. We would recommend you regularly brush the artificial

grass to keep it looking as attractive as possible.

Use of objects on the artificial grass

The backing of the grass is designed to withstand normal heavy loads, but not excessive loads on a particular spot. For that reason

avoid using sharp objects on the artificial grass. If you are planning to use garden furniture on the artificial grass, we would advise

you spread the load as evenly as possible. A swimming pool, a piece of playground equipment or trampoline can be used on the

artificial grass without any problem. Fire and hot objects should not be brought into contact with the artificial grass.
