Geotextile Fabric & Applications
How and When to Use Geotextiles
The geotextile fabric application in which you are involved determines which type of geotextile you could use. The three standard types of geotextiles used are shown below and include woven geotextiles, non woven geotextiles and coir.

Browse our geotextile products by type of erosion, geotextile function, or application.
Browse By Erosion Type:
Beach Erosion: Because sand is such a light soil and the beach is home to so many living things, using a more natural product like Coir is recommended. 
Coastal Erosion: The creeping slope of coastal erosion calls for a stronger geotextile like a Woven. 
Riverbank Erosion: Erosion on the riverbank could use any of the three solutions, Coir, Woven, or Non Woven depending on the extent of the erosion. 
Soil Erosion: Soil erosion could also use any of the three solutions, Coir, Woven, or Non Woven. Each area or soil will have its own unique properties that help determine the type of geotextile used. 
Water Erosion: Most areas controlling erosion caused by water call for a Non Woven geotextile to help absorb and slow the damaging waters. 
Weathering and Erosion: Weathering is increased by the elements and chemicals surrounding or affecting the eroded area. We recommend using Geogrid for its rigidity and ability to reduce stress. 
Wind Erosion: The use of a Woven or Silt Fence will allow for wind and water to pass through, but will protect the sediment.
