16 oz Geotextile Fabric Underlay Details
The 16 oz geotextile fabric underlay is the heaviest and strongest nonwoven geotextile option. It delivers a high level of strength, flexibility, and filtration for demanding project conditions. With a grab tensile strength of 380 lbs and a trapezoidal tear strength of 145 lbs, this fabric resists punctures and tears in tough environments. 50% elongation allows it to adjust to ground movement, while its permeability of 0.7 sec-1 supports water flow up to 50 gallons per minute. Each roll measures 15' W x 150' L (250 square yards per roll) and weighs approximately 250 lbs, providing broad coverage with fewer seams on site.
The 16 oz nonwoven geotextile fabric ships throughout the United States and internationally and is available by the roll or in bulk pallet pricing. With its combination of high grab tensile strength, tear resistance, and controlled permeability (0.7 sec-1; flow rate 50 gpm), this heavy-duty nonwoven geotextile underlay is well suited for projects that need both robust protection and reliable filtration performance.

16 oz Geotextile Fabric Underlay Applications
Nonwoven geotextile fabrics are used in a wide range of applications where soil stabilization, filtration, and separation are required. This heavy duty non woven landscape fabric is engineered as a 16 oz nonwoven geotextile underlay that combines high strength, cushioning, and dependable flow for demanding civil and site work.
If you are a civil engineer, geotechnical engineer, site or utility contractor, municipal stormwater manager, DOT crew, or landscape professional, this geotextile fabric underlay helps you build sections that stay stable over time, keep fines out of drainage stone, and protect critical liners and structures. The 16 oz nonwoven geotextile works wherever you need a tough, flexible geotextile fabric that supports both separation and filtration in the same layer.
Product Applications:
- Geotextile underlayment for roads, railways, and paved surfaces
- Drainage and erosion control in slopes, embankments, and shorelines
- Separation of subsoil and aggregates
- Filtration for particle-laden water in construction and stormwater systems
- Underlayment for pond liners and riprap
- Cushioning for asphalt overlays and infrastructure protection
For applications that require greater tensile strength with lower filtration, consider using woven geotextile fabric as an alternative solution.
16 oz Geotextile Fabric Underlay Frequently Asked Questions
Nonwoven geotextile can definitely be used for a gravel driveway as a means of underlayment, adding stability and resiliency to your project. For gravel or dirt roadways, You can use nonwoven geotextiles for separation as well.
Because of its strength and the way the fabric is made with a needle-punching system, standard applications for the heavy weight nonwoven geotextile will include sediment control, drainage, heavy erosion control, separation of aggregates, use in filtration systems, stabilization and underlayment as well as asphalt overlay.
