If you’ve noticed melted patches or burn marks on your artificial turf, your windows might be the hidden culprit. Reflective glass, especially Low-E windows, can intensify sunlight and scorch your lawn. But don’t worry — there are effective ways to prevent turf burn and protect your investment.

1. Install Anti-Reflective Window Films
The most effective way to prevent turf burn is by applying window film for turf protection. These specialized films reduce glare and diffuse sunlight, preventing intense reflections from focusing on your turf.
✅ Blocks harmful UV rays
✅ Reduces solar reflection
✅ Maintains indoor energy efficiency
✅ Protects artificial grass from melting
At Calview Films, we offer professional-grade window films designed specifically to stop artificial grass melting.
2. Use Exterior Sun Shades
Exterior shades or solar screens can block direct sunlight before it reaches your windows, eliminating the chance of reflection. Retractable options allow flexibility depending on the time of day.
3. Install Awning or Overhangs
Permanent architectural solutions like awnings or overhangs can shield reflective windows, providing both turf protection and added curb appeal.
4. Plant Strategic Landscaping
Planting trees, shrubs, or tall plants in front of reflective windows creates a natural barrier that diffuses sunlight and protects your turf from scorching.
5. Reposition Turf or Use Heat-Resistant Materials
If possible, reorient your turf installation to minimize exposure to reflective hotspots. Alternatively, consider using turf products rated for higher heat resistance in vulnerable areas.
Why Turf Burn Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Ignoring turf burn can lead to:
Expensive turf replacement
Ongoing aesthetic damage
Reduced lifespan of your artificial lawn
Preventing turf burn isn’t just about appearances — it’s about protecting your property value and avoiding constant repairs.
