Can Artificial Grass Melt?

Yes, the artificial grass you paid handsomely to have installed at your property can melt and shrivel under the right conditions, turning that once handsome yard into an eye sore that needs to be fixed up at great expense. While there are so many benefits of fake grass compared to natural lawns, the one major drawback to fake turf grass is melting damage that necessitates replacement.

The Cause of Artificial Grass Melting 

Artificial grass has a melting point of near 200º Fahrenheit, which is of course much higher than the ambient temperature even on the hottest day in the hottest places on earth, so how can fake grass melt? The answer is a concentrated beam of light that reaches much higher temperatures than that of the air. And in fact, these hot beams of light can melt fake grass even on milder days. They are caused by window glare bouncing off energy efficient windows.

Window Reflection Melting Grass 

When sunlight hit highly reflective energy efficient windows, it can form hot concentrated beams of light that, if they fall on fake grass, can melt and ruin large swaths of the yard. Artificial grass melted by window glare must be ripped out and replaced, but you must take other steps as well or you risk the melting damage happening again.
