Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided Seam Tape
Choosing the right turf tape is essential for long-term seam durability. Review the technical differences between our single-sided and double-sided joining solutions below to specify the correct adhesive for your project's sub-base environment.
Single-Sided Joining Tape
Designed primarily for commercial installations, this tape features adhesive on only one side. The non-sticky back allows contractors to slide and adjust the tape freely over rough sub-bases before firmly securing the turf seams.
- Base Material: Heavy-duty non-woven fabric.
- Installation: Connects two pieces of turf together.
- Mobility: Tape does not stick to the ground.
- Best For: Professional landscaping on soil, sand, or gravel.
Double-Sided Joining Tape
Engineered for maximum grip, this variation is coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive on both surfaces. It bonds the synthetic grass edges together while simultaneously anchoring the entire seam firmly to the hard floor.
- Base Material: High-strength cloth or fiberglass mesh.
- Installation: Connects turf AND sticks to the floor.
- Mobility: Fixed permanently once applied.
- Best For: Hard, smooth surfaces like concrete or tiles.
| Feature | Single-Sided Tape | Double-Sided Tape |
|---|---|---|
| Adhesive Coverage | Top side only | Top and bottom sides |
| Sub-base Requirement | Works well on soil, sand, or crushed stone | Requires clean, hard, and flat surfaces (Concrete/Tile) |
| Primary Function | Seamlessly splicing two turf rolls together | Splicing turf rolls while fixing them to the ground |
| Target User | Professional contractors & large outdoor fields | DIY users, indoor exhibits, & temporary events |
