Synthetic Turf
Synthetic Turf, or artificial grass, is a highly accessible, durable and low maintenance playground surfacing option. Unlike other playground surfaces, GT Impax’s Synthetic Grass brings a natural look to your recreation space. Noted for its safety and accessibility features, it is an Annex H approved surface and adheres to the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) guidelines.
Multiple options are available in the turf including various weights and blade heights, and each is designed with a specific functionality. All GT Impax Turf features a SilverBack™ system lining for optimal blade resilience. Infill is strongly recommended to maintain the system’s integrity. Properly installed turf provides efficient drainage, impact absorption, durability and accessibility to promote play.
All of the GT Synthetic Grass options provide adequate drainage, durability, cushioning and accessibility for mobility devices.
