TurfCatalog UTR

ProPLAY Plus 40s by Artificial Turf Supply is an artificial grass product with 1.75-inch pile height and 40 oz/yd² face weight, featuring polyethylene yarn and 27 oz/yd² polypropylene 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.

Turf Characteristics

Structural Performance

ProPLAY Plus 40s provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. Polyethylene fibers offer good durability with moderate resistance to wear and deformation, while good turf density improves load distribution and supports consistent durability, higher yarn denier improves fiber strength and resistance to wear under regular use.

Effective Turf Density: 30.51
Durability Score: 6.2/10

Safety

ProPLAY Plus 40s may support accessible use, but no formal ADA compliance documentation is available. Optimal density provides stable support for accessible movement. Long pile height reduces stability and may affect mobility.

ProPLAY Plus 40s by Artificial Turf Supply may retain heat and become warm under prolonged sun exposure. Polyethylene fibers reduce heat retention compared to other materials, while moderate density allows airflow and reduces heat buildup. No infrared-reflective technology is specified, which may increase heat retention.

Comfort / Experience

ProPLAY Plus 40s offers a comfortable and slightly soft surface feel. Slightly longer pile height (1.75") increases softness, though added height begins to reduce surface stability.

ProPLAY Plus 40s by Artificial Turf Supply provides a reasonably natural appearance, though some uniformity may be visible. A defined thatch layer adds depth and improves the natural appearance of the turf, while optimal pile height creates natural depth and proportion, closely resembling real grass and good turf density provides consistent coverage and supports a natural-looking surface.

Softness Score: 7.8/10

Maitenance Scores

ProPLAY Plus 40s requires frequent maintenance due to higher debris retention and cleaning effort. Longer pile height increases debris retention, requiring more frequent cleaning. This is partially offset by polyethylene fibers reduce debris adhesion and support easier cleaning.

ProPLAY Plus 40s by Artificial Turf Supply is prone to debris buildup and may require frequent cleaning to maintain surface condition.

ProPLAY Plus 40s is more prone to matting and may require regular maintenance to restore fiber position.

Installation Efficiency

ProPLAY Plus 40s provides moderate backing stability suitable for standard installation conditions. 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.

ProPLAY Plus 40s by Artificial Turf Supply provides good seam alignment with low visibility under proper installation. Moderate gauge supports good seam alignment with minimal visibility, while simpler turf construction improves seam consistency and alignment.

ProPLAY Plus 40s offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Lower face weight reduces material density and improves cutting ease, while flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance, moderate gauge allows easier blade access and smoother cuts.
