Brand: Velo Turf

Company: Emu Health Australia Pty Ltd.

Product: Velo Urban 20mm Balcony & Rooftop Turf

Urban apartment living in Australia often comes with a common compromise: a concrete balcony or terrace that feels cold, hard, and uninviting. Adding a touch of green can instantly elevate a small outdoor space into a cozy retreat—but using traditional, heavy artificial grass on balconies often leads to trapped moisture, slow drainage, difficult installation, and added weight.

Designed in Australia by Emu Health Australia Pty Ltd., Velo Turf introduces Velo Urban 20mm, a specialized woven artificial turf tailored specifically for apartment balconies, rooftops, small patios, and modern urban spaces.

1. Why Ordinary Synthetic Grass Fails on Balconies

Most standard synthetic grass products on the market are designed for ground-level backyards, which creates several issues when installed on concrete balconies:

Heavy & Rigid: Traditional latex or SBR backing makes rolls heavy to carry up elevators or stairs and difficult to trim precisely around balcony railings or posts.

Water Trapping & Mildew Risk: Balconies rely on sub-floor slopes to drain rainwater. Flat, thick latex backing can block water flow, trapping moisture underneath and causing unpleasant smells or damage to waterproof membranes.

Too Dense / Hard to Clean: Thick, long-pile grass holds dust, fallen leaves, and dirt, making sweeping or vacuuming on a balcony frustrating.
