Once the artificial turf is installed in our garden, pool, terrace… we can choose to combine this material with another type of flooring to give it a particular use. In today’s post we are going to talk about 10 types of flooring for outdoor patios that you can install with artificial turf.
What type of flooring to choose to go with artificial turf?
When choosing a type of soil for your artificial turf garden, in addition to aesthetics, we must prioritize a number of factors: use, resistance, weather, traffic, maintenance.
10 types of outdoor patio flooring to install in artificial turf
Regardless of the type of flooring you choose, it is essential that it is installed on a compact and smooth surface. From Albergrass we propose these 10 types of flooring to accompany our artificial turf.
Clay or ceramic tiles
This type of flooring is one of the most chosen for artificial turf gardens. It is very resistant and does not require a lot of maintenance. In addition, it provides a natural aesthetic.
Natural stone
Another material that combines perfectly with artificial turf is stone flooring. Among its advantages is the great variety of styles and colors and its easy installation. They resist very well the continuous passage of people, the inclemency of the weather and do not require major maintenance tasks. Slate floors are the most chosen for outdoor patios.
Marble
Undoubtedly, marble is one of the most elegant types of flooring that we can choose for our artificial turf garden. The disadvantages of this material are its high cost and the care it requires to maintain its natural beauty.
Cement or concrete
If you like more industrial aesthetics, cement or concrete floors will give you that touch. If you decide for them, you must take into account that a good foundation and drainage channels are necessary to guarantee their durability.
Cobblestone
A cheaper option to achieve the modern, industrial aesthetics of cement or concrete are pavers. In this case, it does not require a foundation, thus making the process cheaper. It is still a resistant type of floor, easy to maintain and in case of having to renew installations (pipes, wiring) it is simpler. With concrete, the floor will have to be chopped up or the new installations will have to be exposed.
Wood
Wood is a classic for the flooring of outdoor patios and gardens with artificial turf. The diversity of options, its versatility, the great possibilities of customization are its assets. But it is important to remember that wood in outdoor environments is exposed to moisture, heat and sunlight. If it is your choice, you should pamper it annually.
Composite
Its price is more economical and it is very resistant and durable. There is a wide range of finishes and qualities. It is easy to maintain and non-slip. Its aesthetics is similar to wood, but without the need for so much care.
Resin
Resin floors are perfect to give a modern touch to your garden, although you should keep in mind that their durability is not the highest in outdoor environments. However, they are very easy to clean.
Rubber
If you want to dedicate a part of your artificial turf garden to create a playground for the little ones, we advise you to choose a cushioned outdoor playground flooring so that your children are protected against bumps or falls.
Play with the mix
If you like different styles, we suggest you to mix materials, textures and your artificial grass garden will have your personal touch.
