Can You Put Artificial Turf on a Roof Deck?
Yes, you can absolutely install artificial turf on a roof deck. Artificial turf or astro turf instantly creates a welcoming and aesthetically appealing space, so you can use your flat roof or roof deck for socializing and spending time outdoors.
A fake grass product can make your rooftop terrace more enjoyable. Artificial grass on a flat roof creates a softer, more comfortable surface that you can walk and stand on barefoot, and artificial turf won’t heat up as much as roof tiles, an asphalt surface, or a rubber roof membrane will.
Installing artificial turf on a roof not only makes it more comfortable but can encourage your family and friends to use the space more. Purchasing synthetic turf gives you many more design options for the space and allows you to use a previously underutilized area in your home.
