THE POST OAK SCHOOL INSTALLS SYNLAWN® ARTIFICIAL GRASS ATHLETIC FIELD
The Post Oak School in Houston, TX, is a Montessori school that focuses on comprehensive education founded on AMI Montessori principles from early childhood through high school. Recently, Post Oak reached out to SYNLawn Houston to install their brand new 14,027 square foot Houston athletic field. The field features alternating strips of SYNSport artificial grass to mimic the look of freshly mowed grass all year long. Additionally, included with this installation is a 2” detention basin which offers perimeter drainage to ensure that the field properly drains during the rainy seasons. Rain or shine our turf will be ready for use. SYNSport is game-ready, fit for multi-sport applications both indoors and outdoors, and comes in 5 different color options.
SYNSPORT IS PERFECT FOR ANY HOUSTON ATHLETIC FIELD INSTALLATION
SYNSport is perfect for providing ultra-realism, increased durability, and high performance. There are many options available today that are somewhat suitable for athletic field installation; however, Houston artificial grass from SYNLawn is easily a higher quality than any alternative means. SYNSport replaces more than 60% of its petroleum content with eco-friendly and locally sourced materials. This is made possible thanks to our work with US soy farmers and our exclusive EnviroLoc+ backing system.
Unlike other Houston sport turf options, SYNSport does not utilize black rubber crumb infill. Instead, we utilize the child safe Envirofill® antibacterial infill that is held in place by dense thatch to provide long lasting antibacterial enhancements. This dense thatch is UV stabilized and supports grass blades for excellent resiliency and support for heavy foot traffic and high activity. SYNLawn sport and agility turf in Houston is made for high-intensity athleticism and will not shed or shift during use.
SYNSport proudly stands on the list of SYNLawn artificial grass that has earned a Class A fire rating from ASTM. Products that offer this coveted fire rating help prevent the spread of fires by melting rather than combusting. SYNSport will simply blacken and melt, thus, preventing critical injuries as well as causing a detrimental amount of property damage.
To earn this fire rating, products must undergo a series of rigorous tests including:
- Four burning tests: two flame spread tests, and two intermittent flame tests
- Intermittent flame tests require fifteen 2 min exposures to 1400° F flames with 2 min intervals between each exposure
- A spread of flame test requires a single 10 min exposure to 1400-degree flame
- All tests are performed in the presence 1056 + 44y min air velocity
EXCLUSIVE HEATBLOCK™ PROVIDES COOLER SURFACE TEMPERATURES
During the summer, it can be difficult for artificial grass to stay cool and comfortable. Much like dark clothing, it can absorb heat making surfaces too hot to enjoy. This is why SYNLawn engineered their proprietary HeatBlock cooling technology, featured in SYNSport athletic turf. HeatBlock technology actively combats heat build-up and is scientifically proven to keep our surface temperatures 20% cooler than any other competing turf brand. This ensures that children of all ages can walk and play comfortably without burning their feet or paws.
The children at The Post Oak School in Houston, TX now have the coolest and most durable place to play in between studies. In addition, the school can proudly show off its luxurious green lawn all year without any mowing, watering, or fertilizing requirements.
