Play Premium
Play Premium is a high-performance artificial turf designed for playground environments, offering comfortable surface feel, highly realistic appearance, and moderate durability for typical residential use.
With a 1.5-inch pile height and 80 oz face weight, this turf provides a balanced combination of surface structure and comfort. Its drainage rate of 1000 in/hr provides efficient water drainage supporting consistent surface conditions, positioning it within its category based on its structural and material characteristics. It also performs well in rooftops, patios, and hardscape installations, offering flexibility across different use cases.
Play Premium by SynLawn is an artificial grass product with 1.5-inch pile height and 80 oz/yd² face weight, featuring polyethylene and nylon yarn with Legend Mono/Trionic-shaped blades and 28 oz/yd² polypropylene and polyester backing.
The Universal Turf Rating (UTR) is a standardized 0–10 score calculated from normalized specifications - including face weight, pile height, yarn denier, and drainage - to provide an objective comparison of synthetic turf performance.

Structural Performance
Play Premium provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. A combination of yarn materials balances durability and flexibility, supporting overall wear performance, while higher yarn denier improves fiber strength and resistance to wear under regular use, reinforced blade profiles improve structural rigidity and support fiber recovery under repeated use.
Excellent drainage minimizes water retention and supports fast surface recovery.

Safety
Play Premium meets ADA accessibility standards based on documented compliance. High drainage helps maintain a dry and stable surface, supporting accessibility under wet conditions.
Play Premium by SynLawn offers good heat control with moderate surface cooling. IR-reflective technology reduces heat absorption and lowers surface temperature, while lighter yarn colors reflect more sunlight, reducing heat buildup. Very dense turf traps heat and reduces cooling efficiency.

Comfort / Experience
Play Premium offers a comfortable surface with balanced softness. Optimal pile height (1.5") enhances fiber flexibility and cushioning. However, very high turf density (71.19) significantly limits surface responsiveness, resulting in a firm and less cushioned surface.
Play Premium by SynLawn provides a highly realistic appearance with strong natural variation and depth. Multiple yarn color tones create natural variation, enhancing visual realism, while multiple thatch tones enhance depth and closely mimic the layered look of natural grass and optimal pile height creates natural depth and proportion, closely resembling real grass. Uniform blade shape may limit texture variation, making the surface appear more artificial.

Maitenance Scores
Play Premium provides moderate maintenance requirements with manageable cleaning effort. Structured blade profiles resist debris accumulation and support easier cleaning, while excellent drainage allows water to quickly clear debris from the surface. Very high turf density significantly limits accessibility, making maintenance more difficult.
Play Premium by SynLawn provides moderate debris resistance with some accumulation over time. Structured blade profiles promote debris shedding and reduce buildup, while excellent drainage allows rapid clearing of debris from the surface. Very dense turf significantly limits debris movement and retention.
Play Premium offers strong resistance to flattening with good fiber recovery over time. Structured blade profiles improve resistance to flattening and support strong fiber recovery, while nylon fibers provide excellent resilience and maintain upright structure.

Installation Efficiency
Play Premium 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, woven or advanced backing construction enhances dimensional stability and structural consistency.
Play Premium by SynLawn provides good seam alignment with low visibility under proper installation. Tight stitch gauge allows precise alignment and improves seam invisibility, while stable backing minimizes movement and improves seam consistency.
Play Premium offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance, while stiffer yarn materials allow cleaner cuts.
