Engineering Formula & Material Density Constant

Infill Lbs = Total Sq Ft × Lbs per Sq Ft (Standard: 1.5 to 2.0 lbs/sq ft)

Artificial turf infill weighs roughly 1.5 to 2.0 lbs per square foot to weigh down the turf carpet and keep synthetic blades standing upright.

Why Infill is Crucial for Synthetic Lawns

Infill protects the turf backing from UV degradation, cushions footsteps, and keeps pet turf cool.
