There are many things that set Purchase Green apart from other artificial grass companies. Our exceptional products and prices, as well as top-notch customer service, are readily apparent when you visit our stores. Another thing we\u2019re really proud of is that we\u2019re able to offer our customers a Lifetime Warranty.<\/p>\n
Why are we able to do that? Well, a big reason is our backing systems. The backing system is what gives our grasses their amazing strength. The durability, performance and even the lifespan of our grass begins with the backing system.<\/p>\n
Why do we offer different backings? Like most things at Purchase Green, we do so in order to create products that best meet customers\u2019 needs. Latex produces a more dimensionally stable system. Dimensionally stable is just a fancy way of describing a grass\u2019s ability to retain its shape and (you guessed it) dimension. Polyurethane, meanwhile, is easier to work with because the products are generally not as stiff, making it easier to install and perhaps a better choice in colder climates. And the soy-based backing is a more environmentally-friendly backing that comes from a renewable source.<\/p>\n
All Purchase Green backings are equivalent in durability and expected life (in terms of how Purchase Green constructs the backings) and all come with our Lifetime Warranty. We wanted our grasses to be better than what is generally offered in the market, so we started by creating better backing systems.<\/p>\n
If you shop around, you\u2019ll find virtually every other manufacturer and distributor offer a double-layer primary backing. Our triple-layer primary backing is better.<\/p>\n
Our 32 oz. latex secondary backing is 50 percent thicker than you\u2019ll find elsewhere. It also offers more tuft bind than virtually every other manufacturer or distributor\u2019s 20 oz. polyurethane secondary backing. Tuft bind, FYI, is a measure of the force required to pull a stitch of blades through the backing system. Our latex backing produces a tuft bind of 13-18 pounds, while our polyurethane backings have tuft binds 8-12 pounds per square-inch. That\u2019s a lot compared to competitors\u2019 standard of 8 pounds per square-inch.<\/p>\n
Our 26 oz. polyurethane secondary backing is also 30 percent thicker, offering more tuft bind and dimensional stability than virtually everyone else\u2019s standard 20 oz. polyurethane secondary backing.<\/p>\n
Lastly, our 20 oz. Eco Cell secondary backing is a soy-based product, making it an exceptional, environmentally-friendly option derived from a renewable source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
