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 .
