Surfaces for Rooftop Spaces
For many buildings, the roof is a purely functional component that protects the building from the elements. At XGrass, we see rooftops as an opportunity to transform space into a place where people can gather to socialize, enjoy a round of putt-putt golf or just relax in the "healing environment" associated with green spaces.

All-Purpose Backing
Silverback™ urethane coating with EcoCell™ offers unmatched strength, improved dimensional stability and superior flexibility.
Tile Subsurface
Tile installed beneath your turf allows water to drain away quickly and completely.
Installation Cross Section
Over Tile
The key to any rooftop installation of synthetic turf typically lies in ensuring water can drain through the turf and be routed to gutters or drainage systems. Given this, we often recommend using one of our landscape turf products placed on a drain tile system.
When installed with a concrete border, the turf can be nailed or stapled into the pressure treated support boards and then covered with Envirofill infill to give the turf a more natural appearance and limit any movement or shifting of the turf.
Installation Cross Section
Over Tile Base with SBR Edge
The key to any rooftop installation of synthetic turf typically lies in ensuring water can drain through the turf and be routed to gutters or drainage systems. Given this, we often recommend using one of our landscape turf products placed on a drain tile system.
For applications in which nailer boards cannot be affixed to the roof, we will often finish the edges with an SBR insert and then cover the turf with Envirofill infill to give it a more natural appearance and limit any movement or shifting of the turf.
Artificial Grass for Rooftops
XGrass offers a wide selection of artificial grass products for use in rooftop flooring applications. XGrass landscape turf products featuring a permeable backing tend to perform best and all rooftop installations should be accompanied by drainage tile.
