SYNnatural 55
SYNnatural 55 is a balanced-performance artificial turf designed for multiple residential and specialty applications, offering exceptional softness, highly realistic appearance, and moderate durability for typical residential use.
With a 1.75-inch pile height and 55 oz face weight, this turf provides a balanced combination of surface structure and comfort. Its drainage rate of 300 in/hr provides high drainage capacity suitable for pet applications, positioning it within its category based on its structural and material characteristics. It performs consistently across rooftops, patios, and hardscape installations and related residential applications.
SYNnatural 55 by SynLawn is an artificial grass product with 1.75-inch pile height and 55 oz/yd² face weight, featuring polyethylene yarn with W-Blade-shaped blades and 27 oz/yd² polypropylene cloth and mesh 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
SYNnatural 55 provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. Polyethylene fibers offer good durability with moderate resistance to wear and deformation, while optimal turf density provides strong structural support and excellent resistance to compression and wear, reinforced blade profiles improve structural rigidity and support fiber recovery under repeated use.
High drainage efficiently moves water through the surface layer.

Safety
SYNnatural 55 may support accessible use, but no formal ADA compliance documentation is available. Moderate density supports accessibility with minor variation, while high drainage helps maintain a dry and stable surface, supporting accessibility under wet conditions. Long pile height reduces stability and may affect mobility.
SYNnatural 55 by SynLawn is designed to reduce heat buildup and maintain a cooler surface. IR-reflective technology reduces heat absorption and lowers surface temperature, while lighter yarn colors reflect more sunlight, reducing heat buildup.

Comfort / Experience
SYNnatural 55 provides a soft and cushioned surface feel. Slightly longer pile height (1.75") increases softness, though added height begins to reduce surface stability. However, more rigid blade shapes increase structural support and fiber resilience, slightly reducing overall surface feel.
SYNnatural 55 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
SYNnatural 55 provides moderate maintenance requirements with manageable cleaning effort. Structured blade profiles resist debris accumulation and support easier cleaning, while very good drainage supports consistent cleaning performance. Longer pile height may increase debris retention, requiring more frequent cleaning.
SYNnatural 55 by SynLawn offers good debris resistance with limited surface accumulation. Structured blade profiles promote debris shedding and reduce buildup, while very good drainage supports consistent debris removal. Denser turf structure begins to restrict debris movement.
SYNnatural 55 offers strong resistance to flattening with good fiber recovery over time. Structured blade profiles improve resistance to flattening and support strong fiber recovery, while optimal turf density provides strong support and improves resistance to matting. Thinner yarn fibers bend more easily, increasing the likelihood of matting.

Installation Efficiency
SYNnatural 55 provides moderate backing stability suitable for standard installation conditions. High-performance secondary backing materials enhance structural integrity and improve fiber lock, while woven or advanced backing construction enhances dimensional stability and structural consistency.
SYNnatural 55 by SynLawn provides good seam alignment with low visibility under proper installation. Optimal density improves fiber blending and seam concealment.
SYNnatural 55 offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Moderate face weight allows efficient cutting, while moderate gauge allows easier blade access and smoother cuts.
