In fact, there is no difference which side to lay the geotextile. Both sides of the material do not differ from each other either visually or by touch. The water-carrying capacity of the geotextile will be the same on each side. It is affected by the expansion of the pores of the material, and they, in turn, depend on the density of the material. The higher the density, the smaller the pores. And accordingly, the water from the surface passes more slowly.
How to lay geotextiles correctly?
Preparatory work should be carried out before installation. Namely, if the installation is carried out on a soil basis, it is necessary to level the site, uproot the roots of plants, remove large stones and all debris. After that, you can roll out the geotextile. This can be done with both hands, or with the help of technology, if the site is large, or the geotextile is very wide. Strips of geotextile should be laid together with an allowance (25-35cm).
The installation of geotextiles on the roof also has its own subtleties. For example, if the roof has a slope, the geotextile must be mechanically fixed. It is best to do this with special anchor bolts or glue.
