Aquatex Groundcover COOL 200 gr./m

Our subsoil fabric serves as a strong and flexible barrier against weeds and between soil and paved surfaces.

Thanks to its grey colour, this ribbon fabric promises greater UV resistance than white fabric. Nevertheless, it offers less heat build-up and therefore less risk of burns than the black ribbon fabric.

For ground covers with ribbon fabric, it should be noted that with lava or gravel substructures, which are used for drainage, no good water drainage can be expected with standard ground fabric. The water does not drain downwards through the standard fabric, but remains on the surface as puddles. This is due to the only punctual counter-pressure of the stones from below; the surface tension of the water also has an effect on this phenomenon.

There is no problem with sand or soil substructures, i.e. flat counter-pressure from below. For this reason, the so-called K-type fabric should be used for lava/gravel substructures. Here, the weave is more open and you have perfect water drainage. The K-Type is available in 130gr and 200gr in black and 200gr in grey.

200gr material is only available as K-Type. The more open structure not only lets water through better, but also light. This has a negative effect on weed suppression, which is why 130gr soil fabric is recommended for normal substructures and higher weed pressure. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
