Artificial turf has become a popular choice for many homeowners due to its low maintenance and aesthetic appeal. However, a common issue that many people face is artificial turf melting.
The cause of this problem is typically concentrated sunlight reflected from low-e glass windows. These windows, whether on your own or your neighbor’s property, can unintentionally focus sunlight onto your artificial turf, causing it to melt.
The Cause of Artificial Turf Melting
Low-e glass windows are designed to reflect heat away from the home, making them an energy-efficient choice. However, when the sun’s rays hit these windows, they can be reflected onto your artificial turf. The concentrated sunlight can heat the turf to temperatures high enough to cause it to melt. This can happen regardless of the source of the reflection, be it your house or your neighbor’s.
How to Prevent Artificial Turf from Melting
The good news is that there is a solution to this problem. Here at Total Screen, we offer a product called Tuff Mesh window screens. These screens, when installed over the problematic windows, effectively halt the turf melt problem. They work by diffusing the sunlight, preventing it from being focused onto your turf.

With our ‘Turf Protect’ window screens in place, you can be confident that your new turf won’t suffer the same fate.
