After installing artificial turf in a yard, most people find out sooner or later when sunlight hits energy- efficient Low-E windows, it can create a concentrated reflection. This can generate enough heat to cause ANY artificial turf, vinyl siding, or patio furniture to show damage or warp and melt.

Low-E windows are energy-efficient and are designed to help retain heat in your home during the winter, however, they can cause problems when they reflect sunlight onto your siding or artificial turf, also leading to melting and warping. In fact, this is a common problem for many car moldings and plastic surfaces as well.
