Artificial turf is supposed to be durable, low-maintenance, and long-lasting. So when you spot melted or discolored patches in your yard, it’s natural to wonder: Why is my turf melting? The answer lies in the way sunlight interacts with your home’s windows.
The Hidden Cause: Window Reflections
Modern energy-efficient windows often have a reflective coating.
When sunlight hits these windows at certain angles, the reflection acts like a magnifying glass.
This concentrated beam of heat scorches turf fibers, leaving melted, shiny, or burnt spots.
Signs You’re Dealing with Turf Burn
Turf looks warped, shiny, or melted in isolated patches.
Damage usually lines up with a specific window reflection.
The problem worsens during sunny afternoons.

The good news: you don’t have to replace your turf. The easiest fix is installing turf burn window film on the problem windows. This specialty film:
Diffuses harsh reflections before they reach the turf.
