PolySeam is a thin gauge plastic film used as a seam strip for artificial turf. Due to its inherent durability and moisture resistance, this film is widely used in the installation of artificial turf for putting greens, tennis courts, playing fields, and similar synthetic surfaces.
PolySeam lays flat under the layers of the turf. Using adhesive, the film is bonded to the turf for protection against the elements. Stocked in rolls 16″ x 1000′ for convenience, this material can also be custom converted to fit a variety of areas. Perfect for both professional installers and DIY installation.
