Professional FAQ – Animal Friendly Artificial Grass
Q1. What is “animal friendly artificial grass”?
A: It is turf specifically engineered from non-toxic PE/PP fibers, antibacterial backing, and drainage-enhanced structure for safe use by pets and animals. It conforms to standards such as REACH, RoHS, and ISO 9001 for safety.
Q2. What makes grass “pet friendly” compared to standard artificial grass?
A: Pet friendly grass offers ultra-fast drainage (>60L/min/m²), anti-microbial/odor-resistant properties, softer tufts that won't cause paw or nose abrasion, and lead-free certified materials.
Q3. What is pet friendly artificial grass made from?
A: Main materials are UV-stabilized PE (polyethylene) or PE+PP (polypropylene) monofilaments and antimicrobial latex-coated backing. All components are tested to be non-leaching and animal safe.
Q4. How is the turf installed and what standards are followed?
A: Installation follows EN 15330-1 and ASTM F1551 including sub-base compaction, proper seam taping, and infill for optimal drainage/foot feel. All edges are anchored and post-installation drainage is tested.
Q5. How is odor controlled?
A: Through organic zeolite infill and antimicrobial backing. Zeolite crystals trap ammonia molecules from pet urine, preventing odor and improving hygiene.
Q6. Is maintenance required?
A: Yes, but it’s simple: regular brushing and occasional rinsing with water. Enzyme cleaners for pet areas suffice; no pesticides/herbicides needed.
Q7. What warranty and certifications are available?
A: Artificial Grass For Pet Training is covered by an 8-year warranty and is ISO 9001, REACH, RoHS certified for product safety and consistency.
