SYNTipede 243
SYNTipede 243 is a high-performance artificial turf designed for rooftops, patios, and hardscape installations, offering comfortable surface feel, natural-looking appearance, and moderate durability for typical residential use.
With a 1-inch pile height and 60 oz face weight, this turf provides a balanced combination of surface structure and comfort. Its drainage rate of 1000 in/hr provides high drainage capacity suitable for pet applications, positioning it within its category based on its structural and material characteristics. It also performs well in playground environments, offering flexibility across different use cases.
SYNTipede 243 by SynLawn is an artificial grass product with 1-inch pile height and 60 oz/yd² face weight, featuring polyethylene yarn with Diamond-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
SYNTipede 243 provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. Polyethylene fibers offer good durability with moderate resistance to wear and deformation, while higher yarn denier improves fiber strength and resistance to wear under regular use, optimal pile height balances flexibility and structural stability, maximizing long-term durability.
Excellent drainage minimizes water retention and supports fast surface recovery.

Safety
SYNTipede 243 meets ADA accessibility standards based on documented compliance. Moderate pile height maintains good surface stability for accessibility, while high drainage helps maintain a dry and stable surface, supporting accessibility under wet conditions.
SYNTipede 243 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
SYNTipede 243 offers a comfortable and slightly soft surface feel. Moderate pile height (1") allows balanced fiber movement, contributing to a more comfortable surface. However, more rigid blade shapes increase structural support and fiber resilience, slightly reducing overall softness. Very high turf density (80.09) significantly limits fiber flexibility, resulting in a firm and less cushioned surface.
SYNTipede 243 by SynLawn offers a natural-looking surface with moderate visual variation. 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 moderate pile height provides a balanced and natural-looking surface profile. Uniform blade shape may limit texture variation, making the surface appear more artificial.

Maitenance Scores
SYNTipede 243 provides moderate maintenance requirements with manageable cleaning effort. Lower pile height reduces debris trapping and supports easier maintenance, while excellent drainage allows water to quickly clear debris from the surface. Very high turf density significantly limits accessibility, making maintenance more difficult.
SYNTipede 243 by SynLawn provides moderate debris resistance with some accumulation over time. Moderate pile height supports good debris movement with manageable buildup, while excellent drainage allows rapid clearing of debris from the surface. Very dense turf significantly limits debris movement and retention.
SYNTipede 243 provides moderate resistance to matting under typical use conditions. Moderate pile height maintains good resistance to matting.

Installation Efficiency
SYNTipede 243 offers strong backing stability with good resistance to movement and deformation. 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.
SYNTipede 243 by SynLawn allows precise seam alignment with minimal visibility when installed correctly. Tight stitch gauge allows precise alignment and improves seam invisibility, while moderate pile height allows good seam blending.
SYNTipede 243 offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Moderate pile height allows controlled and accurate cutting, while moderate face weight allows efficient cutting, flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance.
