The True Cost of Compromise: A Lesson in Quality Over Price
A U.S. sports facility chose a cheaper $4.00/sq.m artificial turf over our premium $4.50/sq.m option, hoping to save on costs. Five years later, the field suffered from fading, fiber breakdown, and delamination—leading to over $18,000 in repairs. The root cause? Low-grade materials, poor UV resistance, and no warranty.
This case highlights a key lesson:
Cutting corners on turf quality leads to bigger long-term expenses.
Buyers should prioritize fiber specs, UV stability, density, and supplier credibility over small upfront savings.
