Top Bond Turf Seaming Tape Applications

Top Bond Turf Seaming Tape Applications
After nearly a decade, our Turf Tape has been tested and proven in some incredibly rigorous seaming applications.  We thought we’d take a minute to look back on those installations that we think best represent the strength and durability of this incredible product, counting them down.
#3. Putting Greens.  More a matter of long-term durability, putting greens are a great application for artificial turf and turf seaming tape.  They require absolute precision, daily performance and complete reliability as they serve as the competitive surface for one of our country’s favorite pastimes.
Though not as much a matter of safety, artificial turf joints must be completely seamless so as not to hinder the progress and path of the ball.  While a less than glamorous application, we feel that our constant and proven performance on putting greens at facilities around the country is a great testament to what can be achieved with our tape.
#2. Playgrounds.  Let’s face it, kids are hard on everything they touch.  The full-out excitement and energy they bring to everything they do lead to seemingly constant breakdown and failure of shoes, bikes, playthings, etc.
So, it shouldn’t be surprising to see playgrounds make our list of most appropriate seaming applications.  As more and more schools and municipalities install artificial turf surfaces in their playground facilities, the need for a 110% reliable and permanent seam is critical.
Considering the consequences of a failed seam and the injuries that could result, we are proud of the way our high-temperature adhesive temperature tape has performed.  We have the utmost confidence in the strength of our seams and the resulting safety that a playground application demands.
#1. NFL Stadiums.  The first thing I always think of when I hear the words artificial turf is football…more specifically NFL football.  It’s really the ideal place to substitute with artificial turf.
With 350 pound linemen digging in the trenches at the line of scrimmage and hard running fullbacks making split second cuts, natural grass is quickly shredded, giving way and requiring  constant upkeep.
Artificial turf does a much better job of holding up under this ultimate test of human endurance, but there are still vulnerabilities – every 5 yards.  The seams between the conjoined turf must be the strongest points on the field of play, otherwise teams risk injury to multimillion dollar top-caliber athletes.

We’re proud to say that Bond Products Turf Tape is now used in 3 NFL Stadiums and counting (Cincinnati, Baltimore and Pittsburgh practice facility).  With years of proven durability under the most stressful of circumstances, we’ve never had a failure.  That makes NFL Stadiums our most rigorous application, hands down.
These are just a few of the ideal applications for our odor-free, mess-free, high-temperature adhesive seaming tape.  If you have an artificial turf installation or repair that requires fail-safe seams, give us a call.  1-888-800-BOND.

Hi Brian –

We have been getting to understand and practice with your new hot melt turf seaming system on remnants and such, but today was the first real world landscaping grass install for your just received system.

Here is the actual job closing email from my install foreman moments ago:

The new seaming technique works like a charm and the seams were quite possibly the best ones and the easiest I’ve done EVER!

Turf-Testimony-copy

Certainly music to my ears as the company owner.  That is a nice tight program you’ve got there …… suspect we will be a regular client for you now.  ‘Well done’ accolades to your staff and R&D folks …. this is indeed everything you touted it to be.  It will be difficult to go back to the nasty glue regime now ……

 

Please do keep me up-to-date on any new developments specific to the turf industry please.

Cheers!

Bond Products Instabind Finds a Home in Historic Victorian


Bond Products received a call a few weeks back from Ms. Noretta Glup, the Director of the historic Bryant House.   In the process of restoring the historic Victorian mansion, she uncovered a period area rug that was in a bad state of disrepair.

After speaking with Ms. Glup, we immediately recognized this as an ideal test and testament to the power and simplicity of our Instabind product.  So we immediately pulled and shipped an Instabind style that we thought would fit the rug (see before and after pictures below).

Needless to say, Ms. Glup was very happy with the results, “The binding worked out great – as you can see I started with a pretty rough piece of antique carpet.  I am so pleased to be able to use this lovely old carpet again”.

We are happy to have been able to help with the restoration of this rug, and to have played a small part in bringing this beautiful  Victorian back to life as part of this  historic museum.  Thanks Bryant House!

I would recommend this product to anyone interested in speeding up & simplifying  their turf seam installations. – John Landwehr April 2013

Economical Hi-Profit Additions!

Re: Custom Carpet Edges & Custom Rugs

Welcome!

Today let’s talk about upgrading your carpet workroom offerings.

There are many carpet stores and shops that offer standard run of the mill carpet binding and sometimes serging and fringe edges for area rugs. But today let think about how to add additional profits and capture more profitable hi-end business.

Here’s an example of a wide blind stitch with an interior color added. You can use Instabind to get this look or with a narrow binding applied prior to the wider edge. Bind stitching is usually done using our Model PBL-TX wide tapestry binder or adding a tapestry guide to your existing binder.

Even if you offer regular carpet binding, you can still offer custom serging and even rope style edges using different DIY Instabind styles with out an initial equipment investment.

            

Serge Style Instabind                     Rope Style Instabind

Also adding a serging tape folder to a carpet binding machine is a great economical way to offer the same quality look.

We are here to take your calls and answer your questions. Please contact us during business hours or send us a note anytime.

Thanks for stopping by!
