Artificial turf is a popular choice for many homeowners, but it is vulnerable to window burn caused by Low-E glass windows. Contact Total Screen today and we'll install special 'Turf Protect' window screens to prevent further turf-melting problems.
Streaks in artificial turf are not normal; they're actually melted patches of turf, caused by window reflections.
Understanding Turf Melt
Contrary to popular belief, streaks in your turf are not "normal wear and tear." Streaks in your artificial turf are indicative of 'Window Burn,' which is a phenomenon typically caused by sunlight reflecting off Low-E windows.
Example of Streaked Artificial Turf Due to Window Burn Reflection
The sunlight reflected off a Low-E window acts like a magnifying glass, focusing the sun's rays on your turf and causing it to burn.
The Real Culprit
The problem isn't with the turf itself, but with the windows.
Low-E windows are designed to reflect heat, which is beneficial for keeping your home cool but reflective Low-E window glass can be detrimental to your artificial turf.
Turf Melt is caused by sunlight reflecting off Low-E window glass
Until these problematic windows are covered, the turf will continue to be burned, resulting in a recurring problem, and a worsening appearance for your affected turf.
The Total Screen Solution
By covering your Low-E windows with 'Turf Protect' screens by Total Screen, you can effectively reduce the majority of heat reflection that causes turf burn, and this solves the reflection problem moving forward.
Our 'Turf Protect' screens save your artificial turf from damage; if you get your screens installed before turf damage has occurred, then you'll also spare yourself the cost of replacement turf installation.
If you have already experienced significant turf burn, then it's important to get our Turf Protection screens installed before you get your replacement turf, otherwise your new turf will burn in the same way as the old one did.
Prevention is Better Than Cure
Turf melt prevention is a more cost-effective and long-term solution compared to turf replacement.
By addressing the root cause of the problem by installing Turf Protect on your windows, you can enjoy a beautiful, streak-free lawn without the worry of recurring turf burn.
