Can Artificial Turf Be Applied to Walls and Roofs?

If you are wondering whether artificial turf can be installed on walls and roofs, the answer is a definitive yes. Covering walls and roofs with artificial grass is a creative and modern way to completely transform your building, garden, or outdoor areas. It has quickly become a popular trend in architectural design in recent years, offering an aesthetic and eco-friendly method to bring nature to outdoor structures.

Why Choose Artificial Turf for Walls and Roofs?

Using artificial turf on walls and roof surfaces brings a unique sense of natural warmth and vitality to outdoor spaces. Replacing traditional wall paints, tiles, or conventional roofing materials with artificial grass gives structures a fresh, dynamic, and sustainable appearance. Best of all, unlike living plants, you can enjoy a lush green view 365 days a year without the hassle of watering, pruning, or complex maintenance. Additionally, artificial grass coverings contribute extra thermal and acoustic insulation to the building.

How to Install Artificial Turf on Walls and Roofs

While covering vertical surfaces and roofs requires professional planning, it can be executed flawlessly using the right techniques and high-quality materials.

Required Materials:

• High-quality B&C Skandinavia Sport artificial turf

• Tape measure and measuring equipment

• Heavy-duty utility knife

• Plywood, backing board, or roof insulation panel

• Stainless screws, nails, or staples / Special polyurethane adhesive

• Screwdriver and mounting tools

• Roller or pressure spatula

1. Planning and Measurement

Determine the wall or roof area you wish to cover. Measure the height and width accurately to calculate the required amount of artificial grass without waste.

2. Surface Preparation and Insulation

Thoroughly clean the surface of dust and debris for long-lasting durability. For roof applications, ensure that waterproofing is fully intact. Install plywood or support panels on uneven walls or pitched roofs to create a smooth, solid sub-base.

3. Cutting the Turf to Size

Unroll the artificial grass and align it according to the surface dimensions. Cut it using a utility knife. Leaving a slight overlap at the edges allows for precise trimming after installation.

4. Securing and Adhesive Application

Starting from the top, position the artificial turf onto the wall or roof panels. To prevent sagging or slipping, use specialized outdoor adhesives alongside stainless screws or staples spaced every 30–45 cm.

5. Final Touches and Smoothing

Once the entire surface is secured, go over it with a roller or spatula to eliminate air bubbles. Seamlessly blend the joint lines to achieve a cohesive, professional look.

Maintenance of Artificial Grass Walls and Roofs

Artificial turf walls and roofs stand out for their exceptionally low maintenance requirements:

• No need for regular watering, fertilizing, or trimming.

• To clean accumulated outdoor dust and leaves, an occasional light rinse with water or gentle sweeping is sufficient.

• To maintain the natural upright position of the grass fibers, you can brush them periodically with a soft-bristled brush.
