What is the face weight of the artificial grass?

Face weight is a technical specification term from carpet industry. Since artificial grass was invented by carpet industry and the constructions of turf is almost identical as carpet, many of the carpet spec terms are now being used for artificial grass products. There are four main components of artificial grass: straight fibers, thatching, primary backing and secondary backing. To make artificial grass a "grass", most people see only the fibers and thatching: again, this is very similar to the carpet, most of us see the surface of it, knowing how it looks and how it feels. Such visual part are also the main spec of artificial grass. The face weight of artificial grass is referring to the weight of straight fiber and the thatch per square yard. Straight fibers and thatch fibers are tufted onto the primary backing, so if we pull out all these fibers from an areas of one square yard and weight them, the result will be the face weight for that particular turf product. Very obviously, the heavier the face weight, the more of materials used, therefore the more expensive the product.
