About Our Non Woven Geotextile Membrane

We supply non woven geotextile membranes for landscaping, groundworks, and civil engineering projects across the West of Scotland.

Also known as geotextile fabric or geotextile weed membrane, these permeable layers separate soil types, improve drainage, and prevent weed growth without chemicals.

They are used by tradespeople and DIY customers alike to stabilise surfaces, reduce future maintenance, and extend the life of landscaping works.

At The Builders Supply Company, our stock includes options for use as a drainage membrane or soakaway membrane, with rolls and cut lengths available for both small gardens or larger installations.

Why Choose Non Woven Geotextile Membranes?

Non woven membranes are a type of weed control fabric designed to perform five key functions:

Separation – prevent mixing of sub-base and soil.
Filtration – allow water to pass through while trapping soil particles.
Drainage – act as a channel for water movement in soakaways and French drains.
Protection – reduce wear on aggregates, paving, and drainage crates.
Weed control – act as a physical barrier to weeds.

In practice, this makes geotextile fabrics essential for:

Driveways and car parks (high traffic load-bearing).
Patios and paved areas (preventing sub-base migration).
Soakaway and drainage systems (ensuring free water flow).
Garden landscaping, borders, and under bark.

Comparing Geotextile Membranes

When selecting a geotextile, customers often ask about GSM (grams per square metre), strength, and permeability. In simple terms:

Higher GSM = stronger fabric, suited to heavy-duty applications like driveways.
Standard GSM = lighter rolls, easier to cut, ideal for landscaping and planting.

For complex projects, woven membranes offer tensile strength, while non woven geotextile membranes prioritise drainage and filtration. Customers managing soil separation and soakaways should choose non woven rolls for reliability.

You can shop for alternatives such as Plantex fabrics for flexible garden applications.

Installation Tips from the Trade Counter

Prepare the sub-base, levelling soil or aggregate as required.
Roll out the membrane, overlapping sheets by 300mm to prevent gaps.
Cut to shape around obstacles and secure with fixing pins.
Cover with aggregate, soil, or paving as specified.

Correct installation prevents sub-base migration, reduces weed breakthrough, and ensures water drains freely into the ground.
