• Installation under landscaping projects

Characteristics of anti-germination fabric

Weed control fabric has the following technical characteristics:

It has great resistance to different chemical agents

Weed control fabric is made of polymer, so it is non-degradable and resistant to natural agents. Furthermore, due to this material, the fabric has certain mechanical and chemical resistance to rot and permeability.

It is light and flexible

Thanks to its polymer manufacturing, weed control fabric is a very light material, which makes it easier to transport and place on the ground. Thanks to its flexibility, it adapts to all types of terrain, even uneven ones, and can be secured to the ground using pegs or fittings.

Other characteristics of weed control fabric

• Maintenance-free and resistant to microbiological and chemical attacks.

• Allows water, oxygen, and nutrients to pass through, while blocking weeds.

• Stops soil erosion by stabilizing the ground.

• Provides adequate drainage for difficult terrain.

• Protects waterproofing membranes

• Has mechanical resistance to perforation.

• Allows weed control both in the garden and in soils (e.g., under wooden decks).

• Can act as an intermediary between the soil and a decorative layer of bark chips, gravel, stones, or pebbles.

When not to use weed control fabric

While weed control fabric can be very beneficial in many cases, it is not advisable to use it for certain plants, for example, those that require a large amount of nutrients, as the soil loses nutrients that some plants may need after a few years with the fabric installed.
