Installing artificial grass on balcony
Installing artificial grass on a balcony or terrace is very much like laying carpet. Before installing artificial grass turf onto a balcony, there has to be an effective waterproof membrane that acts as a barrier between the base and the synthetic turf. It is especially imperative for a balcony to be fully sealed and waterproof tight before installing artificial grass on top. By laying down geotextile fabric, it helps prevent long term protection against moisture and leaks. The fabric also protects the artificial grass from becoming too hot in the midday sun.
After the geotextile barrier is applied to the base, the artificial balcony grass can be unrolled and the edges can be cut to fit properly. Depending on the size of your balcony, you can probably get away with the artificial grass carpet being installed in one piece rather than having to seam it for a large area. The artificial grass is then pasted to the sub floor using adhesive and pressed down along the edge. Finally, the top is then brushed to capture any remaining loose fibres.
