Now stocking artificial grass
»»
NATIONAL PLASTICS HAS announced it is supplying Namgrass artificial grass throughout its nationwide trade counter network. Geoff Foster, the company’ s Managing Director, commented:“ We respond to market demand and artificial grass is one of the biggest growth areas at the moment – excuse the pun. Namgrass is one of the biggest names in the industry and we’ re delighted to be offering their products.”
Artificial grass gives a perfect-looking lawn every day of the year and needs no maintenance. It looks and feel just like real grass, but children can play on it without creating bald patches or areas of mud. It’ s easy-to-keep clean too, so is
even suitable for homeowners with pets. And it’ s the perfect solution for hayfever sufferers too.
All Namgrass products are designed and manufactured in-house by the company for complete control of the whole process. The product itself is the result of over 30 years of innovation to ensure it offers the most natural look and feel of real grass.
Alongside the artificial grass range, National Plastics will also be stocking a complete range of grass underlay, tape and glue, meaning it provides everything you need for an artificial grass installation project.
