Roll Out The Green Carpet For Your Garage

It’s the time of year for thinking about protection against cold and frost – be it for your home or your car. Last year we told our readers about how The Prince of Wales had used artificial grass as garage floor carpeting in order to provide better insulation. The impetus for doing so had apparently been that the biodiesel engine in his new Range Rover was susceptible to low overnight temperatures.

However, you don’t have to own a biodiesel engine vehicle to justify some garage insulation. Energy costs as we all know have been driven sky high in recent months and we all to be more energy conscious for the sake of the environment and save on fossil fuels. So insulating your garage is important for a variety of reasons.

When considering garage insulation many people think only of the walls and ceiling. They might even install roller garage doors that provide not only good insulation but extra security. However, it’s the garage floor that is often neglected and it’s not surprising really. After all, standard carpet isn’t going to last very long nor is it going to look appropriate. With artificial grass carpet, however, your garage floor can look great and benefit from extra insulation at the same time.

So if you’re thinking about improving your garage insulation, feel free to call our Customer Service team on UK Freephone 0800 6521281 for advice on how artificial grass could be the solution for you.

Is Artificial Grass As Good As Grass?

Every day our artificial grass sales team deals with enquiries and orders for our artificial grass products. One of the most common questions we are asked is whether artificial grass is as good as grass. So we thought we would dedicate this blog article to the subject and demonstrate how it's not only as good as grass but, in many ways, is much better.

Artificial grass offers a whole range of advantages - here are just a few:

• Saving time that would otherwise be spent on mowing the lawn


• Saving money:
  a) by not having to use pesticides and lawn improvement products
  b) if you're on a water meter, you won't have to water the lawn in hot weather


• Helping the environment:
  a) by using less water in the garden - it has been estimated that in the summer, around 3/4 of the UK's residential water is used on people's lawns
  b) pesticides can be damaging to the environment so best to avoid them
  c) grass cuttings contribute to air pollution - according to Australian scientists, the moment you cut your grass, an antibiotic type gas is released contributing to the hydrocarbons in the surrounding air.

• A strong, "all year round green" is offered by artificial grass because, unlike real grass, it does not go yellow and discolour in hot weather, nor does it go brown and muddy after a lot of rain


• Artificial grass is easier to keep clean and maintain where pets are concerned - real grass areas can suffer serious degradation by pets
  

Whatever the application you're considering for your artificial grass - at home for a play area, an artificial lawn, a pathway or as grass carpet around a swimming pool or perhaps in the commercial sector as display grass for an exhibition area - the advantages are considerable.
