How AirDrain Helps Make the Most of Artificial Turf Drainage
June 27, 2023
Properties across the nation are switching to artificial grass landscaping due to its numerous visual and functional benefits. One such benefit of installing artificial turf in your home or business is the inclusion of a highly efficient drainage system such as AirDrain.
AirDrain is a geocell drainage grid created by Airfield Services that provides unparalleled efficiency in synthetic grass drainage rates. The geocell grid creates a one-inch air void underneath your artificial grass lawn, which elevates it in order to allow air to circulate and water to drain through rapidly. By creating a pocket of space between your artificial grass and the concrete below, the drainage system is able to flush away pet waste and other bacteria with unrivaled efficiency. This provides several benefits for you and your guests and allows you to make the most of your artificial turf drainage.
Eco-Friendly
Many homeowners install an artificial grass backyard to make their property more eco-friendly, and utilizing AirDrain only furthers this effort. Made of 100 percent recycled copolymer, the AirDrain drainage grid is an extremely environmentally-friendly drainage solution.
Not only does AirDrain reduce the use of synthetic material and the amount of waste in the environment, but it also minimizes water runoff. AirDrain’s sustainability benefits are further improved when coupled with an eco-friendly infill such as Envirofill.
Weather-Resistant
AirDrain is beloved by property owners in all climates because of its durability. Thanks to its copolymer material, it can withstand even the most extreme temperatures without sacrificing performance.
AirDrain is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain, high winds, snow storms, and extreme temperature changes. The grid’s highly flexible material allows it to conform to curves, slopes, and uneven terrain, even those caused by weather patterns over time.
Reduces Surface Temperatures
One of the unexpected benefits of AirDrain is its ability to keep turf temperatures significantly lower. Both natural grass and synthetic grass can become hot underfoot during the height of summer, which can be uncomfortable for family, friends, and guests.
However, AirDrain makes it easier for air to circulate through your turf, which in turn keeps the surface temperature lower and more comfortable for everyone. You can also rinse down your turf grass to cool it off, and AirDrain’s efficient drainage rate will have it dry in no time while keeping surface temperatures down.
Flushes Bacteria & Waste
Efficient drainage isn’t just helpful for directing water away from your lawn; it also helps flush away waste and bacteria. The grid’s open-cell structure allows for efficient circulation of water and air, which helps to reduce common issues like standing water and odors caused by stagnant waste.
All lawns can benefit from this removal of bacteria buildup, but it’s especially beneficial for homes with pets that use the backyard as their bathroom. AirDrain will help flush away pet urine, bacteria, and odors for a sanitary lawn every member of your family can enjoy safely and worry-free.
Cost-Effective
In addition to its numerous practical benefits, AirDrain is also one of the most cost-effective solutions for synthetic grass drainage. Since it’s made of recycled materials, manufacturing costs are low, resulting in lower prices compared to other natural and synthetic alternatives.
Since it’s extremely flexible and durable, it can also stand up to extreme conditions for years with no wear and tear, making maintenance costs minimal. Because of this, AirDrain is one of the most cost-effective options for property owners, both short-term and long-term.
