Austin artificial turf from SYNLawn isn’t just designed for beauty and performance—it’s built with fire safety as a top priority. With rising temperatures, prolonged drought conditions, and the ever-present risk of outdoor fires, homeowners and businesses across Central Texas are rethinking what safety means in outdoor spaces. That’s where SYNLawn’s fire-rated synthetic grass makes a meaningful difference.
The Growing Risk of Outdoor Fires in Austin
Austin’s hot, dry climate creates an ideal environment for fire hazards. In recent years, brush fires, grill flare-ups, and drought-related risks have made fire protection a more serious concern for local homeowners. Outdoor features like kitchens, fire pits, smokers, and grills, while enjoyable, bring increased fire risk if not paired with fire-conscious landscaping materials.
Natural grass, once dried out, becomes a major fire hazard. It ignites quickly and can carry flames across large areas of your property. Similarly, some synthetic turf products may melt or catch fire under direct flames, adding to the danger rather than preventing it.
This is why selecting a turf solution that is specifically engineered with fire resistance in mind is one of the most proactive steps you can take to protect your home and family.
ASTM E108 Class A Fire Rating: The SYNLawn Standard
At SYNLawn, fire safety is built into the DNA of our products. We are proud to be the first—and currently only—artificial grass manufacturer offering turf systems with an ASTM E108 Class A fire rating.
This rating is the highest level of fire resistance a building or exterior material can achieve under this standard. It evaluates three critical components:
- Flame spread across the surface
- Heat release from the material
- Whether or not the product produces flaming debris
SYNLawn turf excels in all of these areas. The result? A landscape surface that resists ignition, slows down flame movement, and helps minimize the spread of fire. That makes it ideal for areas that see frequent sun exposure, open flame cooking, or drought-induced risk.
Built-In Fire Resistance with No Harmful Chemicals
Many synthetic turf products rely on chemical surface treatments to achieve minimal fire compliance. These coatings often wear away over time due to the sun, foot traffic, or rain. SYNLawn products are different.
Our fire-resistant properties are built into the structure of the turf itself. From the fibers to the EnviroLoc+ backing system, every layer is engineered to withstand heat and resist ignition, without the need for harsh chemicals or temporary coatings.
This means your lawn’s safety features last just as long as its curb appeal. In addition, because our products are made with soy-based ingredients, they’re not only safer, they’re more sustainable too.
Where Fire-Safe Turf Provides the Most Value
SYNLawn’s fire-rated artificial grass is a smart investment for a variety of outdoor settings, especially those commonly found in Austin. Consider installing fire-safe turf in:
- Residential backyards with grills, fire bowls, or smokers
- Outdoor kitchens or patio spaces with flame elements
- Pool areas with BBQ islands or heating features
- Rooftop decks, terraces, and elevated spaces
- Commercial event venues or outdoor seating areas
- HOA communities with shared green spaces
By using Class A fire-rated turf in these high-risk areas, you’ll reduce your liability, comply with local safety regulations, and protect your family and property—all while maintaining a beautiful, evergreen landscape.
