Non-woven, continuous filament, needle-punched, polyester geotextile
- Drainage behind retaining walls
- Filtration in subsoil drains
- Separation of aggregate on driveways, paths and storage area
- Protection of plastic waterproof membranes in garden or structural applications
- As a waterproofing membrane when saturated with bitumen
- Filter under riprap retaining river banks
- Roof gardens/Atriums
- Window boxes
- Drainage pipe
- Underground waste disposal and soak awa
- Perimeter subsoil drain
- Stabilization of the sub grade
Advantages
- High strength
- High conformability
- Paving: Ensures correct drainage and prevents risk of subsidence
- Garden paths: Prevents the natural soil from mixing with the sand or gravel and reduces maintenance
- Subsoil drains: Envelops the drain trench and improves the efficiency of the drain by holding back the fine particles of soil
- Roof gardens & window boxes: Separates the drainage course from the topsoil and prevents particles entering the outlet system
