I am an artificial grass installer, new to this, some of the turf we have installed showed lines: only seeing them from certain angles, want to know if they are normal.

Lines on certain products can be more visible than others; such lines can be seen only from certain angles and non-visible from other angles. Replacement with the same turf will show the similar lines. Different products can look different, depending on the angles of the lights, and shading, same product can show no lines while be showing lines in another application: this is almost exactly like carpets, where you can see patterns/lines when you are paying attention.

Please understand that visual lines on turf products are normal: such lines are not considered as “defective”, therefore are not covered by our product warranty.

I personally like the 44, more like real green color.
I was watching football games on TV, and most fields the turf look with lines all over the fields so I guess those are visuals. Otherwise those NFL teams spend millions on the turf, can't be product issues, just my personal thoughts.
Sometimes you see them, sometimes you don't. Not sure such thing even bother anyone, no matter what, they look much better than real grass.
I have looked mine and my neighbors, you have to look for them, otherwise, I don't think people pay attention to such lines.
I never pay attention to the lines if any: The real grass never looks perfect anyway, in my opinion, the "less" perfect look to a fake turf the better as you want to achieve the "natural" look.
Experienced installers understand the surroundings and lighting directions, and installing turf accordingly which can make some of lines less visible.
Just like carpet, you can see some pattern lines from time to time.
Our service team run into such questions quite often, and it normal with some visual lines showing at certain time of the day at certain angles: it is all visual, nothing wrong with the turf itself.
I can see a bit lines at certain angle only during the sunset time, doesn't bother me at all.
I have seen the same type of visual lines on my carper and that answers it.
I can see lines on turf while watching NFL games on TV, and I assume those are normal.
