What is a Permeable Backing?
Permeable Backing is a backing in which allows water to drain through by either cloth or perforated type products.
What is DuraFlo Backing?
Comprising a tufted material having a hot melt polyethylene adhesive applied to a back side of the stabilized primary backing and adding a geotextile fabric which is the secondary backing at a rate of no more than about 12 oz/yd2, wherein the turf has a tuft lock strength of at least 8 pounds in accordance with the tuft lock test of ASTM-D 1335 and a water permeability of at least 100 inches/hour. In addition polyolefins absorb almost no moisture, as compared to other backing adhesives such as urethane and latex, which absorb as much as 5% to 6% of their mass. Absorbing and releasing water leads to expansion and contraction of the turf product as ambient conditions change. With the DuraFlo system, this creeping effect is negligible, and therefore makes a more stable turf system and puts less stress on seams. Furthermore, our process is relatively tension free. The non-woven geotextile secondary backing component of DuraFlo is produced in a manner that the fibers are arranged in a random manner, giving isotropic properties for strength and elongation. This adds yet more dimensional stability. DuraFlow is also the only turf backing on the market that is 100% recyclable! It has been used in the United States for the better part of a decade.
What is Urethane Backing?
Comprising a tufted material (primary backing) having melted Polyurethane poured or slurred on top of the primary backing to make the secondary backing. During the hardening process of the secondary backing, holes are extruded in the secondary backing. Urethane backing turf is the most common type of backing in the industry. This turf is specifically perforated with holes engineered to accommodate the normal drainage requirements of rainstorms and snowstorms. Unlike the 100% permeable Duraflo the water drains through the small drainage holes into the earth at a rate of 32 inches/hour. This type of turf has a tuft lock strength of at least 8-10 pounds in accordance with the tuft lock test of ASTM-D 1335. The fibers will usually break instead of pull out. Perforated systems have been the standard for turf drainage in Europe and the United States for over 20 years.
What is Face Weigh?
Face weight is a industry wide used term to describe the amount of material attached to the backing of the product. Generally, the higher the face weight is, the thicker, fuller, and more durable the product is. It is also a determining factor in the final price of a product aside from yarn material quality and backings.
What is Infill?
Infill is the material used in-between the blades of grass to support the fibers; therefor enhancing the appearance and increasing the durability. It is important to make sure proper infill material is used during the installation.
What is Sand Infill?
Sand is the most commonly used infill, although it has proven to be detrimental. Not only does fine silica sand prevent proper drainage because it hardens when saturated with water, but it also breaks down the blade fibers because of its course features. If you use Turf Fill (Rounded Sand) or EnviroFill (example 10/20 mesh or larger) you will not have these problems. This product is not recommended for pet applications and may need chemical treatments to cover up odors. For pet solutions use Zeofill!

- 30-50 oz.: Products in this category would be considered economy or entry-level products. The lower density is ultimately going to be less durable, but far less expensive. These products work well for beautifying low traffic areas.
- 50-60 oz.: These products are considered medium density and are also priced accordingly. They can work well for moderately used backyards and require 1.75 - 2.5 lbs. of infill.
