Are your Newport Turf Rolls, UV stable and heat/frost resistant?
Our Newport Turf Rolls are UV Stable and heat/frost resistant.
Was this helpful?How hot do Newport Turf Rolls get in the summer heat?
So this question is a little loaded as the turf's heat depends on how the turf is installed, but from our testing of the turf in direct sunlight on an over 100-degree day in sunny Arizona, the turf without any infill was around 150 degrees or hotter. To help reduce how hot your turf gets, we recommend using one of the following infills: Durafill, Hydrochill, or Zeolite Max. Each of these helps keep the turf 20-30 degrees cooler, with our Hydrochill and Zeolite Max providing the best cooling effects.
Was this helpful?How is cutting and shaping done? What tools are needed to do so? Does the cut edge fray? And do you need to treat edge to stop this and how so?
To cut our Newport Turf Rolls, all you would need is a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. When you come up to the area where you need to cut; measure where you need to make your cut and fold over the turf. You will then use the utility knife and cut the back of the turf. The edge will not fray like typical carpet. Since these fibers look like grass, you will still have the same look. To get a visual representation of how this is done, we do offer an installation video for our turf products.
Was this helpful?How wide and long is this exactly?
Our Newport Turf Rolls come 7.5' or 15' wide and can be ordered in any whole foot increment needed.
Was this helpful?Can you install over stone and can it be raked?
We recommend placing our Newport Turf Rolls over a smooth surface, whether that be hilly or flat. Depending on how jagged the stones are, you could potentially install the turf over the stones. You can rake the turf, but with a plastic rake, not a metal one.

Was this helpful?can it be custom sized to go down the isle for a wedding? Maybe 3' by 60'?

Was this helpful?We would like to install on a EPDM Rubber roof. What is the best way to install?
The most important issues of a rooftop are drainage and ensuring the original rooftop surface is not penetrated. Most installations over a TPO overlay have a drain membrane installed between the turf and the roof surface. This ensures that the water drains properly to roof surface drains. Depending upon the layout and roof makeup, a nailer board is typically fastened around the perimeter and the turf edges are secured to that. It is weighted down using infill just as a typical landscape install would be to hold down.
Was this helpful?Would this be able to be used for an indoor soccer area? And can it get wet? We would install a small 200 sq ft area in our basement but it does flood up to 1" at times.
Newport Turf Rolls can be used for an indoor soccer area, however we recommend using any of our Sports Turf for this purpose since they are built to withstand heavy traffic and they also come with a drainage system that will help drain water when there is a flood. Our most popular Sports Turf product is the Performance Turf Roll. Please use this link to browse through all of our Sport Turfs. https://www.rubberflooringinc.com/turf-flooring.html#!filter=201

Was this helpful?Can this be installed on a rubber-floor roof terrace? Will rainwater be able to drain underneath?
This can be installed on a roof terrace. You would want to use turf along with our Flo Through turf subfloor. Easy to install, this foam pad will not only help to move water off your roof, but will also add extra comfort underfoot.
Was this helpful?Can this be used over cement, for putting a golf ball?
You can install our Newport Turf Rolls over cement. These turf rolls can be loose laid, taped, or glued to the cement. Our Newport Turf Rolls are not the best for use as a putting surface. The fibers on this product would impede the rolling of the ball greatly. For putting, we would recommend a low pile turf. All of the products that we recommend for putting can be found on our Putting Green Turf page.
Was this helpful?Can you install over compacted pea gravel? Does it do well in snow and freezing weather?

Our turf is freeze/thaw stable and can even handle the extreme heat of the US Southwest.
