Built to perform. Built to last! Layer 1 Our product backing begins with blades being tufted into a dual-layer woven material, which is then coated with a layer of polyurethane. This is the basic product backing, and while most companies choose to stop after this coat, it is the foundational first step in our construction. Layer 2 A frothed urethane is applied, fully encapsulating the back stitch of blades and locking them into place. This ensures the integrity of the blades remains intact while adding dimensional stability and a softer feel underfoot. Layer 3 The final layer of our premium backing is a geotextile nonwoven laminate, comprised of recycled water bottles from Project Yellowstone. This protects the first two layers from the elements, inhibits mold and mildew, and is key to our unique micromechanical seaming system.
