A backyard, a sports field and a playground can look alike on day one. Underneath, they need different things. Choose your application and see what fits.
A ONE-DNA™ backyard lawn in the United Kingdom.
Seven applications
Same idea. Different demands.
Each application has its own requirements, and its own construction. Every product follows the same ONE-DNA™ principle: no conventional latex or polyurethane coating, and one material route per product.
100% PE, 100% PP or 100% PO
Events
Surfaces for busy venues, installed and removed quickly, with fire performance in mind.
100% PE or 100% PO
Roof systems
Roof decks and podiums, specified as part of the complete roof build-up.
100% PE is soft and flexible. 100% PP is firmer and suits functional surfaces. 100% PO combines the softness of PE fibers with the stability of a PP backing.
Before you specify
Ask for the evidence that fits the job.
Use this checklist to compare any artificial grass for your application.

Results only apply to the product and build-up tested. Ask for the report that matches your project.

FAQ
Questions about applications
Start with the application page. It lists the products developed for that use. The right build-up then depends on use intensity, site conditions and the standards that apply. Our team can confirm it for your project.
Yes, some products serve several applications. Each product page states the applications it is documented for, and test results always belong to a specific build-up.
It depends on the fall height of the play equipment. US projects commonly specify ASTM F1292; ONE-DNA™ Play 24 and ONE-DNA™ Vista have been tested to the European standard EN 1177, a different test, on shock pads from 25 to 55 mm (about 1 to 2 in) and on a double layer. Each result belongs to the full build-up tested. Ask which results exist for the build-up you plan to use.
Only where the roof designer confirms it fits the complete roof build-up. Drainage, load, wind and fire requirements are assessed for the whole roof, so involve the roof designer early.
ONE-DNA™ is supplied and installed by independent companies. In the United States, our partner is Synthetic Grass Warehouse (SGW), with locations in seven states. Discuss your project →
