Backing

Structural Performance

Catalina provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. High turf density enhances durability and stability under repeated use, while thick yarn fibers enhance durability and maintain structural integrity under repeated use.

Moderate drainage allows partial flow but may retain moisture under load.

Safety

Catalina may support accessible use, but no formal ADA compliance documentation is available. Lower drainage may lead to moisture retention, affectinging usability.

Catalina by Everlast is prone to heat buildup and may reach higher surface temperatures. Moderate pile height allows airflow and reduces heat retention. No infrared-reflective technology is specified, which may increase heat retention.

Comfort / Experience

Catalina offers a comfortable and slightly soft surface feel. Optimal pile height (1.5") enhances fiber flexibility and cushioning. However, higher yarn denier (13300) increases fiber stiffness, limiting softness and padding.

Catalina by Everlast offers a natural-looking surface with moderate visual variation. Multiple thatch tones enhance depth and closely mimic the layered look of natural grass, while optimal pile height creates natural depth and proportion, closely resembling real grass and a combination of blade shapes creates natural texture variation, enhancing realism.

Maitenance Scores

Catalina requires regular maintenance to manage debris and surface cleanliness. Dense turf structure reduces accessibility, increasing maintenance effort.

Catalina by Everlast tends to retain debris and may require periodic cleaning. High turf density traps debris and increases buildup.

Catalina offers strong resistance to flattening with good fiber recovery over time. High turf density enhances structural support and helps maintain fiber position, while thicker yarn fibers improve resilience and reduce flattening under use.

Warranty

SGW offers tiered warranties - 15-year for landscape turf and 3–8 years for putting greens-covering material defects, UV degradation, and abnormal fiber breakdown under normal use, but like most turf warranties, it is limited to material protection only, excluding installation issues, misuse, environmental damage, matting from traffic, and heat damage from window reflection, with claims typically restricted to repair, replacement, or material credit rather than full project coverage.

Installation Efficiency

Catalina provides excellent backing stability, maintaining structural integrity and consistent performance after installation. High-quality primary backing materials provide strong dimensional stability and resistance to deformation, while high-performance secondary backing materials enhance structural integrity and improve fiber lock, high tuft bind strength securely anchors fibers, reducing pull-out and improving stability.

Catalina by Everlast allows precise seam alignment with minimal visibility when installed correctly. Tight stitch gauge allows precise alignment and improves seam invisibility, while stable backing minimizes movement and improves seam consistency, high density supports good seam concealment.

Catalina offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Moderate face weight allows efficient cutting, while flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance. Softer yarn materials slightly reduce cutting precision.
