The owners of a building in Cotham Rd, Kew, avoided the usual routine of using paving or dull concrete on their balcony. Instead they opted for a SmartGrass synthetic grass finish to make the area more appealing and add more colour to what would have been a dull, grey area.

Not only is the area more appealing, but the synthetic grass surface doesn't heat up as much meaning it won't radiate heat into the building and will be comfortable to walk across in bare feet in the heat of summer. As synthetic grass is very low maintenance and durable, it will last for many years, and is a great option for balconies or rooftops.
