Artificial Grass Black VidaXL – polyethylene, polypropylene, SBR fibers, 1 x 5 m

Black artificial grass VidaXL is a rolled turf surface made from polyethylene and polypropylene pile fibres with an SBR-backed backing. Supplied as a 1 x 5 m roll, the product offers a dark, uniform turf appearance that is low-maintenance and resistant to typical outdoor exposure. It is suitable for temporary or semi-permanent installations on flat substrates indoors and outdoors and can be cut to size for balconies, terraces, exhibition stands, trade show displays and event decoration.

Advantages

This artificial grass combines polyethylene and polypropylene fibres for a balance of softness and dimensional stability, while the SBR backing provides a stable base that is easy to handle and cut. The roll format (1 x 5 m) simplifies covering medium-sized areas without seams in many applications. The dark colour reduces the visibility of stains and suited to design schemes that require a contemporary or dramatic look. Installation does not require specialist tools for simple, flat surfaces, making it accessible for DIY fitting and short-term installations.

Suitable for

• Balconies and terraces where a low-maintenance dark turf is desired
• Exhibition stands and trade show displays as a temporary flooring solution
• Event decoration and themed areas for short‑term installations
• Indoor accent areas where a synthetic turf appearance is required

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended for temporary or semi-permanent use on flat, well-prepared substrates. It is not designed as a permanent lawn replacement for landscaping where natural grass, drainage layers, and root systems are required. The dark colour and synthetic pile mean it will absorb heat under direct sunlight more than lighter surfaces and can become warm to the touch.

Key specifications

• Material of pile: polyethylene and polypropylene fibres
• Backing material: SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber)
• Roll dimensions: 1 x 5 m
• Colour: black
• Application: indoor and outdoor temporary or semi-permanent use
• Installation: cut-to-size roll suitable for flat substrates

How to use

Measure the area to be covered and unroll the turf on a clean, flat substrate. Trim the edges with a sharp utility knife to achieve the required shape and fit. For outdoor installations on hard surfaces, use appropriate adhesive tape or bonding adhesive suitable for artificial turf and the substrate material. Ensure seams are aligned and, if necessary, join adjacent pieces using a joining tape and adhesive recommended for synthetic grass. For temporary indoor use, the turf can be laid loose and secured at edges to prevent movement.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the roll size (1 x 5 m) matches the area to be covered or plan for seams where multiple rolls are needed
• Evaluate substrate flatness and cleanliness to ensure a smooth finish and reduce wear
• Consider heat absorption for outdoor areas exposed to direct sunlight due to the black colour
• Decide whether a permanent adhesive installation or temporary loose-lay is required

Usage recommendations

Regularly remove debris with a soft brush or leaf blower and rinse occasionally with water to maintain appearance. Avoid sharp objects and open flames near the surface. For longer-lasting edges, secure with suitable edging or adhesive compatible with synthetic turf and the substrate.
