Main risks

• Surface overheating on sunny days, with a risk of minor burns to skin and pets' paws.
• Melting or fire ignition from contact with embers, sparks, cigarette ends or heat-emitting equipment.
• Slips when the turf is wet, icy, or covered with algae or dirt.
• Trips due to misaligned seams, wrinkles, or lifted edges.
• Cuts and strains when handling heavy rolls or using cutting tools.
• Mild irritation from dust/fibres or from adhesive fumes in poorly ventilated spaces.
• Pooling and bad odours if drainage is insufficient.
• Accidental ingestion of offcuts or small pieces by children or pets.
• Occasional electrostatic discharges in very dry environments.
• Dropping of tools or materials during installation on balconies and terraces.

Safe use

• Prepare a clean, firm and as level a base as possible; remove stones, glass and sharp objects.
• Lay out the material without tension and check alignment before fixing. Secure edges and seams according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Ensure good drainage: do not cover gullies or drains and avoid creating areas where water can accumulate.
• Keep barbecues, fire pits and hot appliances at a distance; use suitable protective surfaces and avoid smoking directly on the turf.
• Wear protective gloves and goggles when cutting; handle rolls with several people or use trolleys to avoid injury.
• If using adhesives or infill sand, ventilate the area well and avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Immediately remove offcuts, cable ties, staples and other debris so there are no loose pieces left.
• If the surface is wet, walk with non-slip footwear and avoid running or jumping.
• On very hot days, cool the surface with water before prolonged use by children or pets.
• On balconies/terraces, secure tools and materials so they cannot fall outside, and do not rest rolls on railings.
• Fit caps or wide bases to furniture legs to prevent punctures or marks.

Storage and maintenance

• Store rolls in a dry, ventilated place, away from heat sources and prolonged direct sunlight.
• Avoid crushing and extreme bending; store on a flat, clear surface.
• Keep plastics and packaging materials out of the reach of children.
• Brush periodically in different directions to lift the fibre and remove dust and leaves.
• Clean with water and neutral soap; rinse thoroughly. Avoid concentrated bleach, solvents and abrasive products.
• Remove oil, paint or grease stains immediately with absorbent paper; do not scrape with sharp objects.
• Avoid using pressure washers very close to the fibres or at excessive pressure.
• Periodically check seams, fixings and edges; repair any loose areas to prevent trips.
• Keep drains clear; if bad odours or algae appear, clean and allow the area to dry completely.
• After frequent contact with chlorine or salt (pools or coastal areas), rinse with fresh water.

Restrictions of use

• Do not use as a surface for barbecues, fire pits, fireplaces, fireworks or tools that generate sparks or intense heat.
• Do not install on ground that does not allow minimum drainage or presents persistent damp without specific solutions.
• Do not use in areas with vehicle traffic or to support heavy machinery.
• Do not use as the only impact-absorbing surface in play areas with a risk of falls from height.
• Do not allow contact with solvents, acids, fuels, fresh paint or other aggressive chemicals.
• Do not pierce with stakes or place furniture with pointed legs that could damage the base or hidden installations.
• Do not drag heavy furniture across the surface; lift it to move it.
• Do not install on steep slopes without adequate fixing systems.
• Do not leave small children or pets unsupervised if there are loose pieces, staples or other small accessories.
• Do not smoke or stub out cigarettes on the artificial turf.
