Last year, we introduced our new polyurethane (PU) backing to some of our premium artificial grass products including Luxe, Elite, Lush and Essential. This innovative technology – the exact same we use for our premium SISTurf sports products – has provided a great alternative to latex for pet owners looking for more durable artificial grass for dogs and other animals.
If you’re reading this, chances are you might not know the difference between PU and latex – we’re here to help! We’ve put together a quick guide below:
No More Smells!
In comparison to latex, PU is much stronger and completely water-resistant, which means urine will not soak into the backing. Latex backing can become cracked or brittle over time and although this has no impact on the look and feel of the grass, if you have pets, the smells can go into the cracks and be harder to clean.
With PU, the backing will have a greater resistance to moisture, which makes cleaning it a breeze and keeps smells at bay!
All of our backing has pre-punched, permeable holes for quick drainage which removes the risk of puddles and keeps your grass looking great all year round!
