The Novecrafto Non Woven Geotextile Membrane is an essential tool for landscapers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable solution for ground stabilisation, drainage, and filtration in outdoor projects. At 100 GSM, this fabric effectively separates soil from aggregate to prevent sub-base failure and waterlogging, making it perfect for driveways, patios, and artificial grass installations; however, users should note that it is designed primarily as a filtration and separation layer rather than a heavy-duty weed barrier.

While it provides some resistance by separating soil layers, it is primarily designed for filtration and stabilisation. It is recommended to use a dedicated weed control fabric if weed suppression is your main priority.
Yes, it is excellent for driveways as it prevents the expensive aggregate from sinking into the soft sub-soil.
This membrane is 100 GSM, which is the industry standard for general drainage and separation applications.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the material until you are ready to use it.
Yes, it is specifically designed to be permeable, allowing water to pass through while filtering out fine soil particles.
Yes, provided it is properly anchored with sufficient overlaps and securing pegs to prevent it from sliding under the weight of the aggregate.
Use metal landscaping ground pegs or staples to anchor the edges and overlaps firmly into the soil.
Ensure the sub-base is properly graded for drainage and that the fabric is not buried under non-porous materials like heavy clay.
Use a brand new snap-off utility knife blade to ensure a smooth, clean cut without fraying the fibres.
To ensure optimal performance, start by clearing the area of sharp rocks or large roots that could puncture the fabric. Unroll the membrane across the prepared sub-base, ensuring at least a 10cm to 20cm overlap at the seams to maintain a continuous barrier. Secure the fabric with ground pegs if working on a slope or windy conditions.
Once laid, cover the membrane with your chosen aggregate or surfacing material as soon as possible to prevent wind movement and protect the material from direct, long-term UV exposure, which can degrade synthetic fabrics over many years. When cutting, use a sharp blade to ensure clean edges, and avoid overstretching the fabric during installation to maintain its structural integrity.
