Waterproofing

Wallbarn distributes a range of strong, flexible Geotextile and geosynthetic fabrics.

Geotextile fabrics can be used in a variety of applications including separation, filtration, reinforcement of soil, drainage and erosion control. They are also commonly used as separation and protection layers within structural waterproofing systems.

Manufactured from thermally bonded nonwoven polypropylene, these rolls are easy to handle and quick and simple to install. This fabric material provides superior performance even under the most demanding construction conditions. Polypropylene is one of the most inert textile polymers available and highly resistant to commonly encountered soil chemicals, acids and alkalis, mildew, and bacteria. The makeup of the fabric is uniform throughout the roll, so no weak spots will be present in the layer.

Waterproofing SystemsThe geotextile layer provides an excellent separation layer for land drainage. Since it allows the flow of water through the soil without any clogging, the soil will not become saturated, thereby maintaining its strength and stability. It will provide a perfect structure for top coverings, be that asphalt for roads, topsoil for playing fields, or sand for riding arenas and gallops.

They are frequently used between insulation boards and paving slabs on balconies and inverted roof systems. As well as filtering solid particles away from the membrane, they also protect it from mechanical damage and puncturing.

WaterproofingThey are extremely effective in drainage systems such as French Drains, pipe drains and vertical drains. Their presence allows for courser, cheaper aggregate to be used and increased drainage surface thus faster removal of water. Therefore fewer drains per area are required.

All Wallbarn geotextiles are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards. The most popular grade of geotextile filter layers which Wallbarn distribute are 100gsm and 140gsm, but we can also supply a heavier or lighter grade of geotextile fabric. All our products can be supplied in various roll sizes. Please contact us with your requirements and we would be happy to recommend the appropriate material.
