  • Considerations Before Choosing Rubber Floor Covering

    There are some disadvantages to rubber gym flooring which should be considered before installation, although there are plenty of benefits. For example, rubber flooring tends to be costlier compared to other flooring options like tile or wood. When it comes down to it, this is something of a limiting factor for gym owners working with a smaller budget. You want to consider the price vs. what do you get to determine if this is within your budget?

    One more thing to know is that rubber flooring can be smelly when new, due to off-gassing. These odors are a result of the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. This can be an issue for some, particularly people with allergies or sensitivities. The good news is that the smell typically dissipates in a few days or weeks, but it is something to keep in mind when you are looking for rubber gym flooring. 

  • Why Rubber Flooring is Important in Injury Prevention?

    Safety always comes first when it comes to gym spaces. Injuries are one of the major benefits of rubber gym flooring. As mentioned earlier, rubber is great when it comes to shock absorption, so it can help when you lift weights and also in high-impact activities like jumping. This can reduce pressure on your muscles and joints by a lot, aiding in the prevention of injuries before they even occur.

    Rubber gym floors are slip-resistant, too. This helps prevent slips and falls, a common accident in crowded gym spaces. This is particularly critical for gym facilities where there is high foot traffic since wet or slippery flooring can pose a significant safety risk. It is important that the floor offers grip and stability in order to guarantee the safety of all workout participants. 

    Durable and Stalwart Rubber Flooring

    Rubber gym flooring is most beneficial for its durability and long life. Rubber is a material used for its resistance against wear and tear from heavy use. That is the reason rubber is used for commercial or industrial applications with high level of activities.

    In addition, rubber gym flooring is both moisture and temperature resistant. That means it is durable enough to stand tough conditions. These rubber floors are a great choice for gyms that deal with high levels of sweat, humidity, and temperature changes. Gym owners find it a reliable option because it can maintain its quality and strength over time. 

  • Choosing the Correct Thickness of the Sports Turf

    Another very crucial thing to keep in mind is the thickness of the turf. Thicker turf is preferable for high-impact sports such as football. That’s because thicker turf offers greater cushioning and support for the players. But the thicker turf can be more expensive and require more maintenance to look nice. Szgrass offers turf thickness of different types as well. So, you’ll be able to find one that suits your needs and budget but still offers you the support you need for your athletes.

  • The Pros and Cons of Various Grasses for Football Fields

    So is the shape of the blades of turf such as the stuff on football fields. At Szgrass, we have a variety of shapes, and they each have their pros and cons. Here’s a snapshot of some of the options:

    Flat blade: This is a good all-purpose option as it offers good grip and is easy to care for. It is also fairly common and prevalent. The one drawback, though, is that it can be horrific when the sun shines.

    S-shaped blade: Provides plenty of support and cushion, which could reduce the risk of injuries for the players. It also is very real light and helps make the field feel better to play on. That said, it may be costlier than the flat blade, and should be regularly brushed to keep it from looking messy and to keep it in shape.

    W blade: A very strong and durable blade It is extremely easy to maintain, which is beneficial for fast-paced fields. It also provides decent support and traction for players. Unfortunately, the downside of synthetic turf is that it can be very hot and uncomfortable to play on when the sun is beating down on it.

  • Created and assembled at LazyLawn’s headquarters in Rutland

    Peter Footitt, production director at LazyLawn and creator of the vividly eye-catching tribute to the Queen and her jubilee milestone said: 

    “This is a real demonstration of the versatility of artificial grass. It’s one of the reasons the marketplace and demand for bespoke LazyLawn installations have seen astronomical growth in recent years. Bold, hard-wearing and requiring minimal maintenance, the Queen’s Jubilee LazyLawn designs lead the way in this and many public, commercial and domestic projects across the country. We’re very proud to have been able to mark Her Majesty’s 70 years of public service in this way”.

    Created and assembled at LazyLawn’s headquarters in Rutland, the step surface is made from Fun Grass 15mm and the Platinum Jubilee emblem in Funky Purple 25-30mm artificial grass. It will remain in place throughout the celebratory period.

  • The Lexicon Celebrates Queen’s Platinum Jubilee With Artificial Grass Installation

    Making a striking statement on the steps of The Lexicon, LazyLawn’s artificial grass creations have returned. This time, ready to welcome visitors and celebrate the forthcoming Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June, the Lazylawn team has interpreted the design brief and delivered a real head-turner.

    Alternating the Union Jack and the Queen’s Jubilee icons between the rich green synthetic turf stages, the 170 square metre installation was completed in April. The logos were pre-assembled on LazyLawn’s cutting beds by inlaying different colour grass sections to create the flags and emblems.

    The new design is ready to welcome retail visitors and help build excitement and anticipation for the Jubilee celebrations and the four-day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June and will remain during the summer months.

  • Using 100 square metres of Lusso 30mm olive-green artificial grass

    Former pupil Jack attended the school until the age of 11.  He has gone on to achieve Premier League football success for Aston Villa and Manchester City, as well as his now established place in the national side.  27-year-old Grealish currently has 25 caps and 2 England goals under his international career belt and has been an ever-present member of the England team playing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

    The pitch was installed over three days in November 2022 by LazyLawn West Midlands.  The 4-strong team first created a six-inch raised platform and prepared the surface with 30 tonnes of hardcore to ensure free drainage.  Using 100 square metres of Lusso 30mm olive-green artificial grass, the pitch was also finished with white artificial grass line marking. The LazyLawn team installed the goal posts and the corner flags, bedecked in the School’s colours.

    LazyLawn West Midlands Dallan Tan said: “This was a great opportunity to transform a muddy field unsuitable for outdoor play into an all-season, all-sports area. Using artificial grass offers the children a clean and safe play environment and provides the school with a hard-wearing, long-lasting, free-draining solution. A real win-win for everyone.”

    Headteacher Neil Emery is very pleased with the new pitch and play area which allows the children extensive outdoor play on a safe, clean, durable surface – and maybe the new pitch will open the opportunities for the next Jack Grealish to extend their soccer skills at the School.

  • Save Money by Re-evaluating Your Layout and Reducing Material Waste

    It’s virtually impossible that all the grass you purchase will be used up in your installation, unless your installation area is the exact shape and size of a roll of turf. Most likely, you’ll have to do some cutting and seaming together of multiple pieces, and some turf will be discarded. The trick here is to figure out how to make the most of a 13′ or 15′ wide roll of turf. One way to do that is to ignore the standard rule for grain direction.

    Artificial grass grain direction is one of the main culprits behind wasted grass. Grain direction is the direction in which the grass blades are predominantly pointing – typically leaning from the top of the roll downward.

    Crews will usually install artificial grass pieces so that their grain is facing the ‘main vantage point’, creating the most aesthetically-pleasing lawn. The main vantage point is where the lawn will be most often viewed from. For backyard installations, the main vantage point is usually the house. And for front yards, the main vantage point is the street.

    However, irregularly-shaped installation sites can often result in excess material waste when you’re limited to laying turf pieces in only one particular direction. If perfect aesthetics aren’t terribly important to you, there’s a good chance you can save money by installing the pieces of grass you’ve purchased however they best fit the installation site, regardless of their grain direction.

  • High-Quality, Low-Cost Artificial Grass Remnants

    Depending on the total square footage of your project, artificial grass remnants can be a great money-saver! Remnants are unused turf pieces from past jobs that are sold at discounted rates. They vary in size, but will not typically be larger than 15′ x 15′.

    Remnant availability is different from location to location, and they must be picked up from the store and cannot be delivered, but you can shop available turf remnants before stopping in! Simply select the nearest location to you in the dropdown menu and shop what’s in stock – updated weekly.

    However, keep in mind that artificial grasses are produced in dye lots. This means that two separately manufactured rolls of the same product type might have slight variations in color. If having remnant pieces from the same dye lot does not matter to you, great! But if it does, you can ask your Purchase Green representative to confirm if the dye lots are the same or different before buying.

    Although, many DIYers have installed remnant pieces from different dye lots. Sometimes the individual pieces are installed in separate areas, or have planters or other landscape elements in between them – distracting the eye from their (somewhat) noticeable difference in color.
