Product catalog summary
Introduction
Fibertex Weed Control Fabric is designed to manage weeds effectively by allowing air and water to pass through while blocking light, thus preventing weeds from obtaining necessary nutrients.
Types of Weeds
There are two main types of weeds: seed weeds (annual) and root weeds (perennial). Seed weeds require manual control, while root weeds can be managed using the Fibertex fabric.
Environmental Benefits
The fabric is made from environmentally-friendly materials, is UV-stabilized, and does not release harmful chemicals. It can be incinerated without environmental impact once it is no longer usable.
Advantages
  • Starves root weeds and prevents nutrient absorption.
  • Reduces maintenance costs and effort for utility plants.
  • Minimizes evaporation and soil erosion.
  • Can last up to 25 years when covered and 5 years when uncovered.
Applications
  • Nursery beds, roundabouts, roadsides, and embankments.
  • Footpaths and plant boxes to separate soil layers.
  • Behind stone kerbs and for covering compost heaps.
Installation and Maintenance
The fabric is easy to install, requiring a smooth surface and can be secured with spikes or weights. It can be cut and adjusted as needed. When no longer needed, it can be easily removed and disposed of environmentally.
