We proudly supply premium silica sand infill for synthetic grass installations across Canberra. Silica sand is a crucial component that enhances the performance, appearance, and longevity of your artificial turf. It helps turf blades stand upright, providing a more natural, lush look, while also weighing down the grass to prevent shifting, rippling, or bubbling — especially during Canberra’s hot summer days.
In addition to stabilizing your turf, silica sand infill plays an important role in protecting the turf backing, which extends the life of your installation.
Key Benefits of Silica Sand Infill:
-
Keeps turf fibers upright for a realistic appearance and soft feel
-
Improves drainage, helping water flow efficiently through the turf
-
Prevents static build-up, ensuring a more comfortable play surface
-
Cool-Tech properties help reduce surface temperatures in summer
-
Adds weight and stability, preventing turf movement or expansion
-
Protects the turf base, reducing wear and tear over time
We recommend approximately 1 bag per 2–3 square metres of synthetic turf. The exact quantity depends on the pile height and density of your chosen grass product.
⚠️ Important Tip: Avoid using loose or unwashed sand from local landscape suppliers, as it can encourage weed growth and compromise the appearance of your newly installed turf. Always use specialized silica sand designed for artificial grass applications.
