Inside NatureFlow™: The Next Generation of Permeable Turf Backing
Redefining Turf from the Ground Up
For decades, synthetic turf systems have faced a trade-off: durability vs. drainage. Traditional backings made with polyurethane or latex provided strength, but trapped water, added weight, and made recycling nearly impossible.
That’s why Turf Haus created NatureFlow™ — the industry’s most advanced 100% permeable, 100% recyclable turf backing. Designed for professional installers, landscape architects, and developers, NatureFlow™ sets a new performance standard for drainage, stability, and sustainability.
What Makes NatureFlow™ Different
NatureFlow™ isn’t just a tweak to traditional turf—it’s a complete reinvention of the backing layer, engineered to outperform legacy systems in every key category.
NatureFlow™ vs. Traditional Urethane Backing
| Feature | Traditional Urethane Backing | NatureFlow™ Backing |
|---|---|---|
| Drainage | 40–50 in/hr | Up to 1,000 in/hr |
| Weight | Heavy and cumbersome | Lightweight and easy to install |
| Recyclability | Non-recyclable | Fully recyclable thermoplastic polymer |
| Flexibility | Stiff and brittle | Flexible and stable in all temperatures |
| Adhesives | Requires urethane-compatible glues | Installs with standard adhesives or tape |
| Environmental Impact | High | Low — zero polyurethane or latex |
1️⃣ 100% Permeable for True Drainage
NatureFlow™’s open-flow thermoplastic structure allows water to pass directly through every square inch of turf — not just through punched holes like old-style turf. That means:
Faster drainage after storms
Better odor control in pet and high-moisture areas!
Reduced hydrostatic pressure on rooftops and sports bases
For installers, this translates to fewer callbacks and happier clients — especially on putting greens, pet runs, and high-traffic commercial projects.
2️⃣ Lightweight. Strong. Installer-Friendly.
Without the added weight of polyurethane or latex, NatureFlow™ rolls are significantly lighter. That gives you:
Easier handling and staging on job sites
Faster unrolling, cutting, and seaming
Lower freight costs per square foot
Installers immediately notice the difference — it’s cleaner, more flexible, and safer to maneuver in tight spaces or rooftop applications.
3️⃣ Engineered for Thermal Stability
One of the biggest frustrations with traditional turf systems is wrinkling and expansion from temperature swings.
NatureFlow™ maintains dimensional stability across hot and cold environments, meaning:
Fewer surface wrinkles
Minimal contraction or expansion
A smoother, more professional finish year-round
You get a turf system that stays flat, tight, and true to its layout — even under intense sunlight or winter cold.
4️⃣ Recyclable Design for a Cleaner Future
Turf waste has historically been a landfill problem — old urethane-backed turf couldn’t be recycled without costly separation. NatureFlow™ changes that.
Built with mono-material thermoplastic polymers, it can be mechanically recycled into new raw material at the end of its lifespan. No adhesives. No binders. No toxic by-products.
It’s part of the Turf Haus commitment to circular manufacturing, where performance and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
5️⃣ Built for Every Application
NatureFlow™ is compatible with the full Turf Haus product lineup and performs exceptionally in a range of environments:
