Hot turf limits how and when people can use a space. FiberFresh is Realturf\u2019s built-in cooling enhancement that helps surfaces stay comfortable\u2014even in direct summer sun. By managing how fibers interact with sunlight, FiberFresh turf can measure up to 12\u00b0F cooler<\/strong> than comparable non-treated products, making patios, rooftops, play areas, and multisport spaces more usable throughout the day.<\/p>\n","what_is_tech":" FiberFresh is a RealTech\u00ae improvement to the yarn formulation and color science<\/strong> of the turf. During manufacturing, we integrate sun-reflective\/IR-dissipative additives<\/strong> and tune fiber shades and textures so the surface absorbs less radiant energy. The technology is embedded in the fiber<\/strong> (not a spray), remains invisible on the surface<\/strong>, and preserves the natural look and softness people expect.<\/p>\n","how_it_works":" Artificial turf heats up when fibers absorb<\/strong> visible and infrared light. FiberFresh shifts that energy balance: specialized pigments and micro-textures reflect and refract more of the sun\u2019s rays<\/strong>, while the polymer package dissipates<\/strong> a portion of absorbed heat more efficiently. Less energy absorbed \u2192 lower surface temperatures. Performance is uniform across the field or landscape and pairs well with smart design choices like light\/mineral infill, good airflow,<\/strong> and spot shading<\/strong> where possible.<\/p>\n","benefits":{"item-0":{"benefit_icon":{"id":1028,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/UV-Protection-Icon.svg"},"benefit_title":"Cooler Surface Temps","benefit_text":"Reflects sunlight to reduce turf temperature by up to 12\u00b0F, creating a safer, more"},"item-1":{"benefit_icon":{"id":1078,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Heavy-Foot-Traffic-Icon.svg"},"benefit_title":"Usable in Hot Climates","benefit_text":"Keeps turf comfortable under bare feet, making it ideal for patios, pools, and rooftops."},"item-2":{"benefit_icon":{"id":1079,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Thermometer-Icon.svg"},"benefit_title":"Extended Play Time","benefit_text":"Allows kids and pets to enjoy turf safely during warmer parts of the day."},"item-3":{"benefit_icon":{"id":1027,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Easy-Installation-Icon.svg"},"benefit_title":"Greater Design Flexibility","benefit_text":"Expands installation opportunities for hot-weather regions without sacrificing user experience."}},"faqs":{"item-0":{"question":"How does FiberFresh reduce heat?","answer":"It reflects\/refracts more sunlight (including IR) and improves thermal dissipation in the fiber, lowering heat absorption so surfaces feel cooler.\r\n"},"item-1":{"question":"Is FiberFresh safe for kids and pets?","answer":"Yes. The cooling components are integrated during manufacture and encapsulated within the yarn\u2014no topical sprays."},"item-2":{"question":"How much cooler will it be in my climate?","answer":"Results vary with sun angle, humidity, wind, shade, and infill color. In typical summer conditions, FiberFresh turf can measure up to 12\u00b0F cooler than comparable non-treated products."},"item-3":{"question":"Will FiberFresh wear off over time?","answer":"No. It\u2019s built into the fiber during extrusion, so the effect doesn\u2019t rinse away under normal use and maintenance."},"item-4":{"question":"Does FiberFresh change color or make turf shiny?","answer":"No. It preserves the natural look & feel of your chosen product line. Any optical tweaks happen at the material level and are not noticeable from above."},"item-5":{"question":"How can I maximize cooling on my project?","answer":"Choose light\/mineral infill, maintain proper infill levels, promote airflow (especially on rooftops), add spot shade where feasible, and rinse the surface during extreme heat for a quick temperature drop."}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-325","realtech","type-realtech","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/realtech\/325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/realtech"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/realtech"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/realtech\/325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":327,"href":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/realtech\/325\/revisions\/327"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
