Here we explain how to repair artificial turf depending on the breakage or wear of the grass. We advance you that in most cases, it is not necessary to renew the entire surface, it will be enough to replace the deteriorated piece.
Fixing a broken or worn artificial turf patch
If your artificial turf is broken in any area, is sunburned, worn by daily traffic, furniture support, portable pools, … Recovering its original appearance is very simple.
You should only fix the piece that is broken or damaged.
This change is very easy if you saved a piece of artificial turf that was left over from the original installation. If this is not the case, you should look for a new piece that is the same model or as similar as possible to your artificial turf.
Once you have located the synthetic grass blade to replace the damaged piece, it’s time to start repairing your artificial turf.
The first thing to do is to cut off the damaged piece. With that piece in your hand, cut a piece of the same shape and size out of the new grass strip. When you have it, glue it in the space where the old one was. Use a special sealant or glue for artificial turf.
When you glue the new piece you must do it following the same direction as the pile of the artificial turf that was already installed.
As you can see it is very simple. And after the repair no one will notice the breakage.
Re-seal joints to repair turf
Another repair your artificial turf may need is to reseal the joints between the pieces. If they become unglued over time, they need to be reattached so that the strips do not lift or break.
