Technical Specs: Why Quality Matters in the Heat

Pile Height vs. Density

While a 40mm pile looks luxurious, density (stitches per sqm) is what creates comfort. High-density grass prevents you from seeing the backing material and provides a superior "cushion" for children and pets.

UV Stabilization: Built for the Middle East

European-spec grass often turns blue or becomes brittle under the intense UAE sun. All Outliv grass is UV-stabilized for high-intensity radiation, ensuring your lawn stays the same shade of green for its entire lifespan.

Polyurethane (PU) Backing

We use PU backing instead of cheap latex. PU doesn't expand, contract, or become brittle in 50°C summer temperatures, ensuring your seams stay tight and your lawn remains perfectly flat.
