Product Introduction
French Drain Fabrics
Geotextile used to wrap the aggregate and perforated pipe of a French drain. The fabric lets water pass into the drain while holding back the surrounding soil fines — without it, fines migrate into the aggregate voids and the drain silts up and stops working.
Strengths
- Passes water while retaining soil fines
- Prevents aggregate voids from silting up
- High permeability maintains drain capacity
- Rot proof and resistant to micro-organisms
Function
- Filtration
- Separation
- Drainage
Applications
- French drains and trench drains
- Perforated pipe wrapping
- Foundation and retaining wall drainage
