				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are starting to get a lot of interest from business, schools, and museums wanting to know if artificial grass can be used as an indoor flooring surface and we have completed quite a few of them with fantastic results so we thought it worthy of a posting on our blog: the UK’s only artificial grass online newspaper.</p>
<p>If you are reading this, it is likely that you typed in ‘artificial grass for offices’ &#8211; or something similar – and were looking for some quick answers: so let us get straight to the point.</p>
<h2>Question 1: Is it possible?</h2>
<p>Absolutely. Artificial grass is an extremely malleable surface; we can lay it on concrete, EPDM, wood, stone, indoor carpet, metal; anything, really. We can cut it to fit any shape; around radiators, pillars and fixed furniture. And, crucially, we can put furniture on top of it: tables, chairs, desks, cabinets, and benches.</p>
<h2>Question 2: Is it practical?</h2>
<p>The only problem you are likely to encounter is that wheeled office chairs will not roll across it as easily as they would a flat surface. This is hardly surprising. The artificial grass carpet is otherwise great for use in offices: it is hard-wearing, easily cleaned, and low maintenance.</p>
<h2>Question 3: How do you clean it?</h2>
<p>Vacuum cleaner, wet cloth, dry cloth, mop, brush, broom, scourer, soap, washing-up liquid. Just not bleach.</p>
<h2>Question 4: How do you install it?</h2>
<p>This depends on the surface. Recent installations of ours have included nailing it to a wooden floor, sticking it with an adhesive to a concrete floor, stapling it to an existing indoor carpet, and in one case, where the office was rented and so the existing indoor carpet could not be touched or scarred,  just loose laid with a double-sided tape at the corners.</p>
<h2>Questions 4: Is it realistic?</h2>
<p>See for yourself…<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Town Grass are one of the UK’s largest and most trusted artificial grass suppliers and installers. Our in-house installation teams undertake commericial landscaping projects as well as fitting artificial grass for private clients: as such, provide many schools, nurseries and childcare centres across the UK with artificial grass playing areas and safety surfaces.</p>
<p>To kick things off, we like to answer a few preliminary questions in order to demonstrate the flexibility and value-for-money offered by artificial grass: and to show off our skills in installing it!</p>
<h2>Question 1: What are the benefits?</h2>
<p>Safe, Clean, Cheap, Quick. In that order. Artificial grass is a surface that drains freely, provides a soft landing (especially when we install a shockpad underneath) is non-toxic, and is easily cleaned and maintained. It is clean in that children can go out and play football on it, roll around, generally have fun and yet do not stain their clothes or bring mud back into the classroom. It is cheap because a single installation requires little maintenance; there is no mowing, watering, or re-seeding required, and repairs are very easy to make should they be needed. Finally, it is quick. An installation can often be done in one day: even large areas with play apparatus can be done in less than week.</p>
<div id="attachment_306" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="http://www.towngrass.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/School-Play-Area-Artificial-Turf1.jpg" alt="Artificial Grass Play Area for a school in London" width="600" height="275" class="size-full wp-image-306" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Artificial Grass Play Area</p></div>
<h2>Question 2: Are there different grass types? If so, which is best?</h2>
<p>Yes there are different grass types and some will be more suitable than others depending on the purpose of an installation. If the play area is to be used for sports as well as play, if it is liely to incur heavy usage, if it is for older children as well as youngsters, then an ‘infilled’ surface is probably recommended. An ‘infilled’ surface is one where a layer of sand (or sometimes rubber for the more serious, 3G sports surfaces) is introduced into the artificial grass to lend it stability and protection form users.</p>
<p>If the surface is just to be used as a ‘break-time’ play area, especially for younger children, then a non-infilled grass type will be fine. These are generally softer to the touch and more realistic looking.</p>
<div id="attachment_309" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="http://www.towngrass.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/School-Artificial-Grass-MUGA1.jpg" alt="Artificial Grass MUGA" width="600" height="275" class="size-full wp-image-309" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Artificial Grass MUGAs for Schools and Public Parks</p></div>
<h3>Question 3: Have you installed in our area?</h3>
<p>We are a UK wide supplier and installer. Our installations can be seen across the United Kingdom. If you would like to discuss a project, please feel free to talk to one of our friendly sales team on 03303 308581, or drop us a line by <a href="mailto:grass@towngrass.co.uk?Subject=Hello" title="Email us here">email</a> and we will respond shortly.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When most people think of artificial grass; they think gardens. It is such a versatile material though that Town Grass install artificial grass for balconies, roof terraces, and roof gardens across the UK and it is becoming an extremely popular surface for residential homes and businesses alike. We have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions that our customers ask, and provide answers below. If you would like to speak to one of our friendly sales team, please feel free to <a href="mailto:grass@towngrass.co.uk?Subject=Hello from Blog"" title="Ask us a Question">drop us a line</a>, or call 03303 308581. &#8211; Town Grass team.</p>
<h2>How easy is it to install artificial grass on a balcony?</h2>
<p>Very easy, and very quick. We can fit the artificial grass to almost all outdoor surfaces. For balconies and roof terraces, this is likely to include tanalised timber or hardwood, concrete, metal, ceramic tiles, sometimes brick, sometimes a rubberised surface, or bitumen felt. Each surface will require its own installation process but generally speaking we would either tack it with galvanised nails or stick it using an adhesive.</p>
<div id="attachment_281" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="http://www.towngrass.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/tiled-balcony-for-artificial-grass.jpg" alt="Artificial Grass for a Balcony" width="600" height="275" class="size-full wp-image-281" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This was the original balcony for the completed project below</p></div>
<h2>How quickly can it be done?</h2>
<p>In terms of installation, the majority of balconies, roof gardens, and terraces can be fitted in one day by one of our teams. In terms of turnaround, the grass will usually take 3 &#8211; 5 days to be produced and we aim to arrive and install as quickly as possible.</p>
<div id="attachment_283" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://towngrass.co.uk/products/grass/ascot-grass"><img src="http://www.towngrass.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/artificial-grass-on-balcony.jpg" alt="Ascot grass balcony" width="600" height="275" class="size-full wp-image-283" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This project was completed with our Ascot grass</p></div>
<h3>Which type of artificial grass is best for balconies or terraces?</h3>
<p>This is up to you, and depends on your preferences. If you want a soft and realistic-looking grass, we would recommend one of our luxury grass types &#8211; either <a href="http://towngrass.co.uk/products/grass/emerald-grass" title="Emerald">Emerald</a> or <a href="http://towngrass.co.uk/products/grass/ascot-grass" title="Ascot">Ascot</a>. However, if you want an artificial grass roof on a budget, then <a href="http://towngrass.co.uk/products/grass/meadow-grass" title="Meadow">Meadow</a> might be better. Alternatively, if you just wanted a very durable, all-weather, out-door carpet, then we would recommend our <a href="http://towngrass.co.uk/products/grass/retro-grass" title="Retro">Retro</a> grass. If you would like to see samples of any of our artificial grass types, please feel free to <a href="http://towngrass.co.uk/contact.php" title="Request a Sample">Request a Sample here</a>.</p>
<h3>Is it &#8216;user-friendly&#8217; ; how do you clean it?</h3>
<p>Yes it is very user-friendly. Don&#8217;t worry about spilt drinks or rain or dirt. Artificial grass is very easy to clean, and is very hard wearing for high foot-fall areas. The grass can be cleaned with a sponge or mop or cloth or even a vacuum cleaner. Washing-up liquid can also be used, but not bleach.</p>
