After finishing the preparation of the substrate, spread an anti-rooting membrane/geotextile fabric over the surface. An overlap of ±10 cm between the different rolls is ideal. If appropriate, the membrane can be fixed to the wooden frame with stainless steel screws. [3] If you prefer not to work with a wooden frame, curb stones to which the artificial turf can be glued can be used as an alternative. INSTALLATION OF ARTIFICIAL TURF Carpet Roll out the carpet and, if you install several rolls, be sure to lay all in the same direction. Proceed carefully during the installation and while rolling out the carpet to avoid any folds. Make sure that the artificial turf is completely level everywhere, and leave enough time for it to acclimatise. Start by roughly cutting the outer edges. To do this, fold the carpet over and carefully cut between the pile rows along the back using a sharp knife. Trimming can be carried out at a later stage. [4] Seams Adjacent rolls are placed immediately next to each other or can be pushed close together. [5] Fold the sides of the carpet back and roll the adhesive tape between the two pieces of artificial turf. [6/7] Prepare the 2-component PU adhesive, carefully following the instructions of the supplier! Do not prepare this adhesive too early, as it will cure after a short, specified time. Spread the adhesive over a width of approximately 20cm and over the full length of the seam band using a toothed spatula. Remember not to use too much adhesive so as to avoid it being squeezed through the seam. [8] Fold the carpet back and press it firmly onto the adhesive, ensure that no piles become stuck in the adhesive and that the two pieces of artificial turf are perfectly joined. In order to obtain a specially strong bond, the seam can be pressed down with (weighted) boards. [9] For smaller installations you can use a waterproof mono-component PU adhesive, or a self-adhesive tape that is suitable for these applications. Fixation If present, the artificial lawn should be screwed onto the wooden frame with stainless steel screws. Alternatively, if the application does not use a wooden frame, the turf can be glued to curb stones. If only a small area is installed, for example if only one roll is used, you may not wish to use a wooden frame and to fix the edges of the artificial turf directly onto the substrate using stainless steel nails or pins. [10] Finishing work Trim the edges of the carpet where necessary. Remove all trimmings and loose piles and brush the pile of the carpet into the desired position. [11] Please note that these guidelines are only provided for information. The successful installation depends on many factors that cannot all be addressed or accounted for in these instructions.
