Artificial Grass VidaXL Black polypropylene with SBR backing 1 x 8 m

VidaXL artificial grass in black is a polypropylene turf sheet with an SBR rubber backing, sized 1 x 8 m. Designed for decorative and temporary functional applications, this synthetic grass provides a continuous dark surface suitable for interior displays, outdoor terraces, balconies and event areas. The polypropylene fibres offer weather resistance and the SBR backing helps the turf lie flat while adding dimensional stability.

Advantages

This artificial grass combines resilient polypropylene yarn with an SBR backing to create a low-maintenance surface that resists fading and tolerates light foot traffic. Its 1 x 8 m format covers long runs with minimal seams and the dark colour provides a consistent visual appearance for staging, exhibitions or decorative installations. The SBR backing improves lay-flat performance and simplifies trimming and fixing during installation.

Suitable for

• Terraces and balconies as a decorative covering
• Event flooring and trade show stands
• Window displays and retail installations
• Temporary coverings for indoor or outdoor promotional areas

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended primarily for decorative and light-use applications rather than for heavy-duty sports surfaces or permanent landscaping subjected to constant heavy foot traffic. The SBR backing provides stability but is not a substitute for engineered drainage systems or structural sub-bases where long-term outdoor drainage and frost resistance are required.

Key specifications

• Material of fibres: polypropylene
• Backing: SBR rubber backing for stability
• Dimensions: 1 m x 8 m sheet
• Colour: black
• Intended use: decorative and light functional covering for indoor and outdoor areas

How to use

Measure and prepare the surface to ensure it is clean, dry and level. Unroll the artificial grass and let it rest so it flattens; trim edges to fit the space. For temporary installations, secure edges with tape, adhesive strips or weights appropriate to the surface. For more permanent installations, use suitable outdoor adhesives or mechanical fixings and ensure joints are joined flush. Where water drainage is necessary, assess the substrate and provide appropriate drainage solutions as this product itself does not include engineered drainage channels.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required sheet length and width to minimize seams
• Consider intended use (decorative vs. heavy wear) and expected foot traffic
• Check surface preparation and drainage needs for outdoor placement
• Plan fixation method compatible with your subfloor (adhesive, tape, weights or fixings)

Usage recommendations

For best results, lay the turf on a flat, well-prepared surface and allow it to acclimatize after unrolling. Clean with a soft brush or a leaf blower for routine maintenance and avoid hot objects or open flame near the material. For semi-permanent outdoor use, combine with a permeable underlay or ensure the substrate allows water runoff.
