Terms vary by product and application (residential\/commercial). See the product data sheet and warranty document for details."},"item-1":{"question":"Does LongLife turf require special care?","answer":"No special steps\u2014just standard maintenance: keep infill at the correct level, brush on a regular schedule, remove debris, and protect edges\/seams. Avoid open flame and glass reflections that can create heat hot spots."},"item-2":{"question":"Will LongLife change how the turf looks or feels?","answer":"No. LongLife is about materials and construction, not a surface coating. You keep the chosen product\u2019s color, blade shape, and softness."},"item-3":{"question":"What most often shortens turf life?","answer":"Chronic under-filled infill, neglecting brushing, reflective heat from low-E windows, heavy point loads (e.g., furniture feet without pads), and poor drainage. Good design and routine care prevent these issues."},"item-4":{"question":"Is LongLife suitable for high-traffic or sports areas?","answer":"Yes. Pair LongLife products with the right pile height, stitch rate, infill, and (if needed) shock layer for the sport or traffic level. Ask your Realturf Center for project-specific specs."},"item-5":{"question":"Can LongLife be combined with other RealTech\u00ae features?","answer":"Absolutely.
