Sun Reflecting Off Windows Killing Grass

It seems crazy to think that sunlight bouncing off windows can burn the grass in your yard, but then it happens to you and you realize it's all too real of a problem. How can sunlight suddenly burn grass when the sun is already shining down on the lawn almost every day of the year? The secret is the way certain energy efficient windows can cause sunshine to become concentrated and focused into extra hot beams that hit specific patches of grass with enough heat to scorch the blades and dry them out and leave them wilted, brown, and dead.

Is Your Artificial Turf Melting?

If your property has artificial turf instead of grass, you might think you are safe from the issues people with natural lawns face, but that's far from true when dealing with sunlight concentrated by energy efficient windows. Artificial turf lawns can be melted and ruined by sun glare, necessitating costly removal and replacement. And then what's to stop the new turf from being melted again?
