Artificial grass is becoming a popular alternative for those who suffer from grass allergies, providing a sneeze-free surface to be enjoyed all year-round. 

Do you suffer from allergies?

Anyone who is a hay fever sufferer knows that a grass allergy can be a hellish. Whilst most people will only suffer from a runny nose and itchy eyes, there are those who can have a far more dangerous reaction to natural grass.

Swelling and anaphylaxis are both life-threatening reactions some people have when encountering grass. People who are in danger of anaphylactic shock carry EpiPens for serious incidents; these are portable auto-injectors which deliver a shot of adrenaline helping to open the airways in the lungs, reducing wheezing and helping the person to breathe.

How can artificial grass help?

Artificial grass has become a life changing alternative for those who suffer with severe grass allergies, making it possible for them to enjoy the outdoors just like anyone else.

A local news story in Derry covered this recently, focusing on a toddler who could not go into the garden without experiencing a severe allergic reaction. This resulted in multiple hospital visits. The allergy was only discovered once they moved to a new house as his school had tarmac and artificial grass surfacing.

Artificial grass is found in many schools these days because of its durability and tidiness. It can provide a welcome alternative to play on, instead of hard concrete or muddy ground, and looks far more appealing throughout the seasons. And it also has the benefit of providing relief to those with allergies.

Take a look at our gallery page to see some of the hundreds of schools where we’ve installed our grass.
