Does artificial grass get hot in the sun, and what can be done to keep it cool?
Artificial grass can get warm under direct sunlight, especially during hot summer days. However, the temperature it reaches is similar to other outdoor surfaces like concrete or natural grass. To keep the turf cool, you can regularly spray it with water, which will reduce the temperature quickly. Additionally, installing shade structures or using light-colored infill can help minimize heat absorption. Some advanced turf products also come with cooling technology built into the fibers like Cool Blue Hollow Olive, which helps maintain a more comfortable surface temperature. Even on hot days, the turf cools down quickly once it’s shaded or the sun begins to set.
