What is the Face Weight of Synthetic Turf?
 | Oct 25, 2018 1:06 AM |
The face weight (or pile weight) is the weight of the turf pile per square yard measured in ounces. It should not be confused with the total weight as it includes the weight of the backing. Face weight is used to determine the turf durability.
 | Andrew Cook The Pet Turf is very short, but still at about 50 oz face weight which is a decent confirmation. |
 | Andy Rosenberg - Customer Service To simply understand this, there are four components of turf: straight fibers, thatch (curled fibers), primary backing and glue. The face weight is the weight of both straight and curled fibers per square yard. |
| Nancy Thompson We chose the heaviest turf on the market: 94 oz! |
| Mike Garcia I have 84 oz face weight, and I am happy with it. |
| Chris Davis I think the face weight is a term for carpet, and turf people use it as well, must be made the same way as carpet. |
| Jayden Heightz I like the tall dense turf! |
| Sandy Durham We went with the most dense options, I think it worth it. |
| Emma Wilson The heavier the better, I guess. |

Face weight is one of the main technical reference for "how much materials used in the turf" putting it into a plain understandable term.
