Types of Geotextile Materials
Geotextiles are durable fabrics that stabilize soil and increase ground strength in different applications. Geotextiles are usually made from polypropylene and are used in erosion control and slope stabilization. We offer nonwoven and woven geotextiles. See the charts below for more information on nonwoven and woven geotextile fabric applications and mesh to micron size comparisons.
Geotextile Micron Size Chart
Use our mesh to micron size comparison chart below when selecting geotextile for your project. Listed on all of our geotextile materials specification charts is a property called AOS or Apparent Opening Size. The value for the AOS will be listed in US Sieve. Match the US Sieve for your fabric to find the size in inches, millimeters and microns. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call us. We are happy to help.
