Blades – This is what is seen on the top, green nylon blades that are resilient, soft and resistant to UV rays (sunlight).

Backing – The backing is made of 3 layers of fabric and glue, or composite coating on top of fabric, latex or polyurethane. This is what holds the turf together.

Thatch – The thatch is the part that looks like dead material, just like in real grass. In synthetic turf it has two purposes; to hold the blades up and give them a little support, and for aesthetics, it makes the grass look realistic.

Face Weight – This is the number of ounces per sq. yard of just the fiber. SimpleTurf is available in 40 to 102 ounce weights.

Total Weight – This is the total number of ounces per square yard of the blades and the backing combined. Generally the heavier the product weight, the better the durability of the turf.
