How much artificial grass glue do I need?
For optimal results, it is recommended to apply a 3mm layer of glue to the seam tape. When using a two-part artificial grass adhesive like Turfstikk PU500 All-Weather Adhesive, it’s best to use a Glue Machine or Glue Box. These tools are specifically designed to apply adhesive quickly, efficiently, and with precision, ensuring a clean and accurate application on the seam tape. The coverage of Turfstikk PU500 covers 15 square metres per 15kg. When using 300ml seam tape PU500 coverage is 30 linear metres per 15kg.
Additionally, Turfstikk MS100 and Turfstikk PU400 can also be effectively applied onto seam tape. To enhance application efficiency and achieve proper coverage, Ureka recommends the Multiiiibead MB07 Nozzle. This nozzle easily attaches to the end of the Turfstikk PU400 and MS100 cartridges, offering several benefits. The coverage of Turfstikk MS100 and Turfstikk PU400 is 3 metres of artificial grass when using 200mm seam tape.
– Ensures optimum coverage
– Increases bond strength
– Disposable for convenience
– Easy to change for quick and efficient application
How to apply artificial turf glue?
The Turfstikk MS200 can be seamlessly applied using the Multiiiibead adhesive applicator, a battery-operated tool designed for precise and efficient adhesive application. This innovative applicator ensures even coverage across the bonding area, enhancing the overall quality and speed of your project.
Key Benefits of the Multiiiibead Adhesive Applicator:
– Speeds up adhesive application
The tools can assist with Artificial Grass Joining tasks.
– Increases coverage by up to 25%
– Keeps hands and workspace clean
– Ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue
– Boosts productivity by up to 30%
– Portable and easy to use
– Significantly reduces waste
Turfstikk PU500 can also be applied using a glue box or a glue machine. A glue machine allows installers to efficiently applied adhesive to seam tape and roll it out at the same time. The amount of applied glue on the seam tape can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the gluing comb. The number of ridges can be adjusted by swapping the comb. This machine opens the grass, applies the seam tape with the right amount of glue and gently closes the grass in one smooth operation. Rollers on both sides and the bottom have sealed roller bearings and ensure a smooth and trouble free operation. A heavier duty version of the machine is also available which has additional side wheels.
For successful Artificial Grass Joining, use the right equipment.
A glue box is designed to quickly apply adhesive to artificial grass or artificial gras seam tape. The Glue Box allows the installer to pour the adhesive (one or two component adhesives) into the Glue Box, which can then be pushed along the seam tape to apply the adhesive to the tape. We strongly recommend applying the Glue Box with Anti-Stick before use to ensure fast cleaning and an increased product life.
How to join artificial grass with tape?
Achieving an invisible seam when installing artificial grass requires a lot of attention to detail and following a series of precise steps. Properly taping the grass is essential to avoid unsightly seams that draw the eye. Below is step-by-step guide to ensure a seamless finish with artificial grass.
Artificial Grass Joining is essential for achieving a seamless look.
Line up the seam – Carefully align the two edges you intend to seam, ensuring they meet evenly without gaps or overlaps.
Ensure proper Artificial Grass Joining for the best results.
Set the seam gap – Establish a slight gap between the edges to accommodate the seam tape and adhesive.
The technique of Artificial Grass Joining is crucial in this step.
Place the seam tape – Position the seam tape evenly under the edges of the grass, ensuring it covers the entire seam area.
Prioritising Artificial Grass Joining will enhance the project’s quality.
Set grass – Lay the grass over the tape, pressing it firmly to adhere to the adhesive.
Careful Artificial Grass Joining ensures durability and appearance.
Secure grass -Finally, ensure the grass is securely fastened and the seam is nearly invisible for a flawless finish.
Mastering Artificial Grass Joining will improve your installation skills.
For Self-adhesive joining artificial grass tape follow the instructions below:
Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded are smooth, clean and free from dust or other deposits.
For optimal results, focus on Artificial Grass Joining techniques.
When cleaning contaminated surfaces, use isopropanol to clean and degrease and then allow to dry prior to application of the tap.
Apply direct from the reel onto either the grass backing or the seam tape and press sufficiently along its whole length to achieve good initial adhesion.
Remove backing paper and offer other surface to the tape and push firmly to seal across the joint. The use of a roller to roll the joint, using firm pressure, is recommended to ensure a good bond.
Artificial Grass Joining requires attention to detail for best results.
Do I need any other accessories to install my artificial grass?
