Window reflections can wreak havoc on artificial turf, leaving unsightly melted patches & streaks. The solution to this problem is to install Turf Protect window screens.
In this article, we’ll explore why turf protection matters, what causes turf melting, and how Turf Protect window screens from Total Screen can save you time and money—while keeping your outdoor space looking its best.
Understanding Turf Melting and Window Reflection
Many homeowners choose artificial turf for its pristine look and low-maintenance appeal.
However, sunlight reflecting off your windows can create hot spots, which may cause the turf to melt, or scorch, in certain areas.
Turf Melt is caused by sunlight reflecting off Low-E window glass
The intensity of these reflections can vary based on window angles, the time of day, and the season.
It’s not unusual for homeowners to only discover this issue after installation, when they notice specific spots turning brown or warping over time.
Why Isn’t This Problem Mentioned More Often?
You might be wondering, “Shouldn’t my turf-installation company have told me about this problem before they installed it?”
Some turf professionals do warn about potential reflection issues, especially if they’ve encountered them before.
Other turf companies may not mention it, if they’re unaware of your specific conditions or believe your yard’s angle and orientation won’t produce significant reflections.
Regardless of whether the turf company mentioned it or not, the good news is: there’s a smart fix to preserve both your artificial turf and your investment.
What Are Turf Protect Window Screens?
Turf Protect window screens are specially-designed screens that install over your windows in order to prevent concentrated sunlight from reflecting onto your artificial-turf lawn.
Turf Protect screens are thicker and more durable than standard window screens, offering a reliable barrier that disperses the sun’s rays enough to protect your turf lawn.
As a result, you’ll see far fewer hotspots and no more melted or scorched patches.
How Do They Work?
- Heat Reduction: By diffusing and redirecting sunlight, Turf Protect window screens lower the amount of heat hitting your lawn.
- Sun Glare Minimization: The screen’s tighter mesh helps reduce intense glare, creating a more comfortable outdoor environment.
- Aesthetic Preservation: Because these screens resemble standard insect mesh from a distance, they maintain your home’s clean appearance without drawing extra attention to your windows.
