300mm Geotextile Membrane Filter Sock Sleeve

This geotextile filter sock is white in colour and is suitable to be pulled over like a sleeve for 300mm pipe diameters. Available in standard roll lengths of 25 metres, 50 metres and 100 metres but you if require a shorter sleeve the geotextile fabric is easy to cut to your desired length. Suitable for various types of perforated pipe drainage including PVC, straight wall and corrugated HDPE, steel and aluminium.

Made from polyester resin, this seamless geotextile membrane is permeable so it will allow water to filter through the geotextile sock into the perforated pipe ensuring the continue flow of water. Created in a special knitted design, this geotextile sleeve wrap prevents silt, soil and sandy particles from entering perforated pipe preventing any unnecessary clogs and maintenance. Any particles that are small enough to make it through the filter sock will be transported with the water flow, eventually discharged from the drainage pipe.

Geotextile membranes used to only be available in large sheets which meant that installing geotextile around your pipe was difficult and time consuming. Originally, you would need to measure around the pipe and then make sure the wrap is secure in place, which would require multiple people to assist. With these geotextile filter sleeves, they are designed to save you time with ease of installation by one person, eliminate any measuring mistakes and potential wastage of large geotextile sheets. These geotextile filter socks are a great low cost time-saver for any project that requires the protection of an underground drainage system for all soil types.

Unlike impermeable geotextile membranes which do not allow water to pass through, permeable geotextiles have opposite qualities. Permeable geotextile membranes are made from porous fabrics allowing water to pass through.  Geotextiles are manufactured from various materials ranging in thicknesses and styles including woven, non-woven and knitted. They all have their unique purposes for different job applications.

The fabric is manufactured by Carriff and specifically designed for drainage filtration using state of the art circular-knitting machines. Tested under various procedures including EN ISO 11058:2010 and EN ISO 9863-1:2016, this assures the installer they are using a well tested product that will perform when handled and installed correctly.
