So in future studies I will definitely look into your company's product. <BR/><BR/>Gare, I will not join the move for weather control, I think the natural system shouldn't be screwed with too much. but thanks for the spam anyways.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05827565756014550602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994986810513557060.post-69142535922663857392008-08-28T06:03:00.000-07:002008-08-28T06:03:00.000-07:00Anduhrew, Sounds like a good comparison.

Almost all synthetic turf companies utilize a black crumb rubber or rubber and sand mixed infill and the combination of the black infill with the "plastic" fibers does create a heat island effect. Our company does not use any rubber for our fields. We use Organite (Anti-Microbial Infill)which not only is a tan/sand color, but also retains up to 240% of it's original body wieght in moisture, which results in a cooling effect. Our open sports fields can be about 20 degrees cooler than others. The fact that an AMI kills bio-related microbial infectious disease is a plus, but as the installers of the most environmentally sound synthetic turf systems, we think of ourselves as "Greener Than Grass". Keep in mind, too, that we all like grass more, but in extreme areas (such as high-use venues and areas where we have to choose between drinking water and green grass)turf is a good answer. Should you like to include a sample of our system in the study, please let me know. Thanks, DuncanDuncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999477073842647085noreply@blogger.com
