Geotextile
A permeable textile fabric used in construction/ engineering. Especially in the sub soil, base.
Non-woven
Geotextile generic term made from woven pieces of plastic tapes
Woven Geotextile
generic term for needle punched construction fabric
GSM
Grams per sq metre
The weight of how geotextile fabrics are measured
Needle punched
How some geotextiles are constructed with machines using barbed needles.
Permeability
The ability of the fabric to allow water and vapour to pass through the geotextile.
Ultra violet degradation
The breakdown of the fabric will happen when exposed to natural light.
Tensile strength
The force required to break the fabric. Tested for each type of fabric.
Elongation
The length created when tested by a force on the fabric.
Puncture resistance
