Woven fabric black 130g/m² 1,05x25m

Product detailed description

Woven fabric is commonly used in civil engineering and landscaping projects to provide a durable and stable base for waterproofing systems. It is particularly suited for extensive green areas, including green parking lots, where long-term resistance to environmental factors is essential. The fabric is typically laid beneath waterproofing membranes or drainage layers to enhance structural integrity and prevent root or soil penetration. Installers working on such projects must ensure proper alignment and tensioning to avoid wrinkles or gaps that could compromise the system’s performance.

When applied in these environments, the fabric supports the mechanical stability of the waterproofing layer and helps distribute loads evenly. It is especially useful in areas where vegetation is present, as it prevents root systems from damaging the underlying structure. The fabric is also compatible with various drainage and filtration systems, making it a versatile component in sustainable construction practices.

Technical parameters

Weight	3.41 kg
Code	OZ_003003A
Brand	OZY

The fabric has a weight of 130g/m², which indicates its thickness and density. This parameter is important for determining the material’s load-bearing capacity and resistance to tearing. The dimensions of 1.05x25m define the usable area per roll, influencing the number of rolls required for a given project. The fabric is made from 100% polypropylene, a material known for its UV stability and resistance to chemical degradation, which ensures long-term performance in outdoor conditions.

Installation and connection

The installation process involves unrolling the fabric and securing it to the base surface using mechanical fasteners or by overlapping adjacent sections. It is important to ensure that the fabric lies flat and is free from wrinkles or folds, as these can create weak points in the waterproofing system. The edges should be overlapped by at least 10cm and secured to prevent displacement during subsequent construction phases. Common installation mistakes include insufficient tensioning, which can lead to sagging, and failure to account for expansion due to temperature changes. Installers should also avoid sharp objects or tools that could puncture the fabric during handling.

Compatibility and accessories

This woven fabric is typically used in conjunction with waterproofing membranes, drainage mats, and filtration layers to form a complete waterproofing system. It is compatible with most standard drainage and root barrier systems used in green infrastructure. Additional materials such as geotextile underlays or protective boards may be required depending on the specific application. Since no related products are listed, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer’s technical data sheet for a complete list of compatible materials and accessories.

Technical background for designers

The woven fabric functions as a reinforcement layer in waterproofing systems. It is made from 100% polypropylene, a synthetic polymer known for its high tensile strength and resistance to UV radiation. The fabric’s woven structure provides dimensional stability and allows for controlled water flow, making it suitable for use in drainage and filtration systems. Its integration into the system depends on the design of the waterproofing layer and the type of vegetation present. Factors that affect the service life and efficiency include exposure to UV radiation, mechanical stress from foot traffic or vehicle movement, and the presence of aggressive chemicals in the surrounding environment.

Service and operation

The fabric requires minimal maintenance once installed. Regular inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, such as tears or punctures, especially in high-traffic areas. Any damage should be repaired promptly to prevent water ingress or structural failure. Since no specific service intervals are provided, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for long-term maintenance and performance monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Can this fabric be used in areas with heavy foot traffic?
Yes, the fabric is designed to withstand mechanical stress and is suitable for use in areas with moderate to heavy foot traffic, provided it is properly installed and secured.

Is the fabric compatible with all types of waterproofing membranes?
It is compatible with most standard waterproofing membranes used in green infrastructure. However, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific membrane being used.

Can the fabric be cut to size on site?
Yes, the fabric can be cut to size using standard cutting tools. Care should be taken to avoid fraying at the edges, which can be prevented by sealing the cut ends with a suitable adhesive or heat.

What is the expected lifespan of the fabric in outdoor conditions?
The fabric is UV-stable and designed for long-term use in outdoor conditions. The actual lifespan depends on factors such as exposure to UV radiation, mechanical stress, and environmental conditions.
