The Novecrafto Geotextile Membrane is an essential solution for landscapers, DIY enthusiasts, and contractors looking to ensure longevity in groundworks, such as gravel driveways, artificial grass installations, or French drains. Its primary benefit is the combination of effective filtration and soil stabilization, which prevents sub-base materials from sinking into the sub-soil. While it provides excellent performance for residential and light-duty projects, users should note that the 100 GSM rating is optimized for general separation and filtration rather than heavy-duty civil engineering load-bearing applications.

Yes, it is excellent for artificial grass as it prevents weeds from growing through and helps maintain a stable surface.
While its primary function is filtration and stabilization, it does act as a physical barrier that helps suppress most weed growth from below.
It is suitable for light domestic driveways provided the aggregate sub-base is deep enough and correctly compacted on top of the membrane.
A sharp utility knife or heavy-duty landscaping shears are sufficient to cut through the non-woven fabric.
The Novecrafto membrane is isotropic, meaning it performs the same regardless of which side faces up.
Ensure the aggregate above the fabric is not overly fine or clay-heavy, as this can block the pores. Ensure there is adequate fall or slope in the ground design.
Check the sub-soil for sharp rocks or protruding roots. Remove these hazards before laying the membrane. Use a double layer if working over exceptionally sharp or uneven surfaces.
Installation is straightforward: ensure the ground is cleared of sharp debris or large stones before rolling out the membrane. When overlapping sections, aim for a minimum overlap of 150mm to 300mm to ensure continuous filtration. If the membrane is being used on a slope, overlap the upper sheet over the lower sheet to ensure water flows correctly. No specialized maintenance is required; once buried beneath your aggregate or soil, the material is designed to be permanent and maintenance-free. Always ensure the fabric is not left exposed to long-term UV rays, as it is designed to perform once covered by your chosen finishing material.
