Simpson Western create a sanctuary overlooking Takapuna Beach and Rangitoto 


The TigerTurf Summer Envy XWR lawn on the balcony at Simpson Western frames one of the most magnificent views in town, its soft, restful green is a brilliant contrast to the sea beyond. 

 

The Simpson Western team love the view of Rangitoto, but on a sunny day, the dazzling glare off the balcony tiles was hard on the eyes, and the tiles intensified the summer heat. 

 

Access difficulties resolved by TigerTurf

Access was difficult as we had to bring all the materials up the lift and through the office space to the veranda.

There are many factors to take into consideration when installing on balconies and rooftops.  

 

Key considerations include:

  • Creating a site-specific health & safety plan highlighting all hazards and risks to people and property
  • Understanding logistical complications including delivery of materials, access through a confined work environment, and removal of waste 
  • Ensuring the area is engineered to carry the weight of the turf and that adequate drainage is installed.

TigerTurf’s installation crews have successfully laid our landscape lawns, golf putting greens and tennis courts on balconies and roof top gardens for many years and have proven strategies and systems to overcome access and installation difficulties. 

The process of installing the landscape grass at Simpson Western was meticulously planned and managed, leaving the wooden floors and white walls unblemished, and a clean and safe site at the end of the project.

 

 TigerTurf Summer Envy XWR

The lawn on the Simpson Western veranda is Summer Envy XWR, chosen for this site because of its sunny, natural appearance, woven from our most durable, technical fibre. 

It is also a safe, non-slip surface that dries quickly after rain and requires minimal attention. In restricted areas, with constant use and exposure to extremes of temperature, this lawn proves its reputation as the best for the job, year after year.

The relaxing garden setting with armchairs on the veranda offers a peaceful respite from work, to gaze out over the sea, and reflect upon the fairy tale beauty of Rangitoto and Takapuna Beach.

- Made in New Zealand
We’re one of the largest synthetic turf manufacturers in the world, but we started in Auckland, New Zealand in 1981. We still make almost all of our products in our Auckland factory, with materials manufactured by our parent company, TenCate Grass. Local manufacturing means that we can ensure quality is maintained throughout the process.

- Experience and Expertise
You want to make sure the company you choose to work with knows what they're doing. We've been in the synthetic turf industry for almost 40 years, and have also been instrumental in developing the products and systems that result in world class, top performing surfaces. We design, manufacture, install and maintain our surfaces, applying the innovation and expertise we've gained over the years into every project - large or small.

- Accreditations and Memberships
Because of the quality, performance and realistic nature of TigerTurf’s artificial grass, TigerTurf is recommended for high level training and competition. Many of our artificial grass turfs have been approved and certified by world sporting bodies, including FIFA, World Rugby, FIH, and ITF. It's also ISO 9001 accredited.

- Quality and Innovation
We control the quality and performance of every synthetic turf system we create, in our own factory, at every step of the production process. We control where and how our yarns are extruded. We control which products go into our fibres. We develop and manufacture our own backing cloths. We develop, manufacture and build the performance bases that we lay our turf systems over. And finally, we can recycle our old, end-of-life products into new, start-of-life products.
