VERSATILE APPLICATIONS for MAGICTEX GEO
Creating walkways
One of the major benefits of geotextiles is their ability to improve the stability of the underlying soil and control weed growth. The fabric works as a barrier that prevents the soil from mixing with the subgrade, preventing potholes and depressions. Additionally, geotextiles can help prevent soil erosion.
Geotextiles are permeable to water, which means that paved surfaces can be drained without creating waterlogging problems.
Creating wooden terraces and patios
GEO is used in the construction of wooden terraces and patios for several reasons:
- Erosion Control: GEO can help prevent soil erosion under these constructions. In this way, the ground remains stable and does not move, preventing the structure from being damaged or moving.
- Drainage: GEO allows water to drain through the underlying soil. This is especially important in areas where there is heavy rain or snow, because water can pool under terraces or patios and cause damage.
- Separation of materials: GEO can be used to separate the underlying soil from the terrace or patio structure, preventing the soil from mixing with the material used to construct the structure.
- Protection against plant roots: GEO prevents the growth of plant roots under the terrace or patio. This avoids soil compaction and the consequent instability of the structure.
Creating play areas for children
The advantages of GEO in designing children’s play areas:
- It is porous and allows water to drain quickly, preventing puddles from forming and providing a dry and safe play area for children.
- It is used as a separating layer between the ground and play area fill materials, such as sand or recycled rubber.
- Prevents the growth of weeds and other unwanted plants, reducing the need for playground maintenance.
Drainage works
GEO is made of water-resistant synthetic fibers: it allows water to flow through them but holds the soil in. Non-woven geotextile is often used as a separation filter between soil and drainage fill materials, such as gravel or sand. In this way, the drainage work is much more effective, as soil cannot clog the system.
GEO is easy to install. Can be cut and sized, making it ideal for DIY drainage jobs; can be easily placed on the ground without the need for specialized tools or machinery.
GEO is an economical alternative to traditional drainage materials such as drainage pipes. It is less expensive for small residential jobs.
