There are a lot of ways to create an indoor space that offers form and function. Green turf is a fantastic option, which is why the global market for artificial turf is expected to hit $4.20 billion by 2027, according to Globe Newswire. Turf can cover anything from as small as a practice putting green to as large as a domed football field. Installing an indoor turf floor can be a little tricky. Here's how the experts get the job done.

Set the Sub-Floor

Beneath every indoor turf floor is a solid foundation. In many cases, the turf floor's substrate will be a concrete surface, but other types, like wood floors, can be considered as well. Your turf subfloor is simply anything that gives it a good, solid surface to lay on. The subfloor needs to be cleaned and dried before the next steps.

Roll Out the Turf to Map Your Surface

This is a critical step. Turf comes in square sheets that need to be cut to your surface's size and shape. This ensures that you receive a perfect fit for your flooring surface without any gaps or excess that would create a tripping hazard or interfere with your space.

Spray the Glue and Adhere the Turf to the Floor

Your indoor turf floor needs to be glued down to the floor. Artificial turf glues are typically sold in quart and gallon applicators. An installation professional knows how to measure your turf floor carefully and use the appropriate amount of materials. According to our team, one gallon of glue will cover approximately 40 to 50 square feet of floor area.

Add Turf Fill

Your turf is not finished without its infill. Turf fill is a crumbly substance that goes in between the blades of “grass” that make it up. Turf infill allows for a more natural and springy feeling to the floor, adds more cushion to the turf backing, and keeps the fibers standing up straight.
