Thermally bonded geotextile Fibertex F-30 150 g/sq.m, 5x20 m, gray Fibertex

• For the discharge of water and/or other liquids with minimal pressure loss
• To ensure continuous drainage

Geotextile is widely used for drainage during excavation and construction work. In the EN ISO standards, the drainage function is defined as "Collecting and conducting sediment, groundwater and/or other liquids in the plane of the geotextile material".
In other words, geotextile material has the ability to carry out drainage, that is, it is not part of the drainage system, but is itself a drainage system. The drainage function is often confused with the filtration function. If the geotextile material is part of a drainage system in which it is used to separate the soil and a coarse drainage layer, then its function is filtration. Properties of geotextile material Usually the amount of stress during the laying of the material is limited, and at the same time there are no significant mechanical
loads on drainage geotextile material (technical specifications for the design of special drainage systems operating under load conditions are included in this chapter). Therefore, high mechanical strength is not required, while hydraulic properties are crucial for the efficient operation of the entire structure, and the most important of them is the water-carrying capacity in the plane of the geotextile material.

Выбор между белым и черным геотекстилем зависит от конкретных условий и предпочтений.

• Черный геотекстиль обычно используется для создания более эстетичных ландшафтов и ассимиляции с окружающей средой. Он также поглощает солнечный свет, что может помочь ускорить процесс нагревания почвы в холодные месяцы.
• Белый геотекстиль, с другой стороны, отражает солнечный свет и может помочь сохранить прохладу в зоне его применения.

The service life of geotextiles depends on the quality of the material, operating conditions and intensity of use. On average, well-installed, high-quality geotextiles can last from 5 to 20 years. However, in some cases, the service life can be longer, especially if the geotextile is used in low-intensity conditions and is maintained properly.

Although geotextiles and spunbond (agrofabric) are both used to protect soil from weeds, they have significant differences in composition and functionality. Geotextiles are usually made from polypropylene or polyethylene and are designed for long-term use under load. Spunbond, on the other hand, is usually made of polypropylene and has a lighter structure, intended mainly for temporary protection of plants from weeds.

Purchasing high-quality geotextiles for your project is easy and convenient in the Budlea online store. We offer a wide range of high quality geotextiles at competitive prices to help you achieve success in your construction or landscaping project.

In case you are looking for an alternative to geotextiles for weed control, one option may be to use mulch. Mulch also helps suppress weed growth, retains soil moisture and prevents soil erosion. Additionally, natural materials such as straw or sawdust can be used as an environmentally friendlier alternative to geotextiles.

Gravel or crushed stone is often placed under geotextiles. This helps create additional drainage and provide a more stable base for the geotextile. In addition, special impregnations or preparations can also be applied to the soil to prevent weed germination.

When choosing geotextiles, you should pay attention to its density, strength, permeability and resistance to environmental influences. The best choice depends on the specific conditions and requirements of your project. It is recommended to consult with professionals or construction experts to select the most suitable option.

Placing geotextiles at the bottom of the bed can be beneficial in preventing weed growth and retaining soil moisture. However, this depends on the specific conditions and requirements of your gardening project. Before making a decision, it is recommended to conduct a soil analysis and consult with experienced gardeners or agronomists.
