Related: Geotextile membranes: your questions answered.
Geotextile membrane has three main functions: filtration, separation and reinforcement.
Geotextile membranes create a water-permeable barrier that prevents fine soil particles and silt from passing through whilst allowing free movement of water into the land drainage systems. This prevents drainage channels from clogging.
This protective fabric can also be used for soil separation to prevent surface aggregates from disappearing into the underlying sub-grade soil. For instance, on a patio where MOT Type 1 or MOT Type 3 is used as a sub-base, a geotextile membrane should be used to prevent the sub-base from sinking into the underlying ground.
Membrane fabric helps prevent erosion as well as stabilise river banks and the banks of canals and ditches. This fabric is used for reinforcement when constructing river banks where a layer of the fill material is followed by a layer of geotextile membrane. This also helps prevent the lateral movement of the fill layers.
Geotextile membranes can be used for one of these functions or all of them, depending on the situation.
At Mainland Aggregates, we supply a selection of Terram geotextile membrane, from non-woven geotextile membrane to woven geotextile membrane. Whether you are searching for geotextile membrane for driveways or geotextile membrane for soakaway, find the right membrane fabric online at Mainland Aggregates.
Our non woven geotextile membrane is equivalent to Terram 1000. This thermally bonded geotextile can be used as a drainage filter and soil separator. This geo membrane is ideal for the following applications:
It can also be used for pathways, driveways and paving. The non-woven geotextile membrane features non-slip properties that ensure that the surface grips the membrane for maximum traction. This membrane also allows water through whilst preventing soil particles from passing through. Our non-woven geotextile membrane should not be used for weed prevention.
Our general purpose geotextile membrane is a woven geotextile that can be used for separation and filtration purposes. The G90 membrane can be used for a variety of applications, including:
This woven geotextile membrane can also be used for root barriers, paving, pathways and driveways. We have two sizes available: Rolls of 2.25 x 100m (225m2) or 4.5 x 100m (450m2).
