ArmorLay Commercial Grade Driveway Fabric 12.5' x 60'

Product Information

For most gravel driveway projects, a fabric membrane is essential to the longevity and integrity of the driveway. Some rainwater gets through the fabric to permeate the ground underneath, ensuring the soil doesn’t dry out too much.

One of the main drawbacks of a gravel driveway are issues arising from rutting and gravel migration.

The silt will loosen the gravel pieces, they will lose their friction and start to weaken and separate. Because the tiny stones move fluidly, winter’s freezes and thaws won’t heave and crack the surface in the same way they would with a rigid material like stones or pavers.

Standard grade and intermediate grade geotextile fabrics are generally used for residential purposes. Placing a membrane layer underneath your driveway doesn’t let the water immediately soak into the ground and instead allows it to run off to the sides of the pathway. Pouring onto earth would force you to take into account the dips and rises of the terrain, resulting in a more general estimate for the amount of concrete you’ll need. Make level the area and secure the landscape fabric using landscape staples or another attachment method.Based on regular feedback, we are confident that Ground Cover Solutions DrainTex is one of the best quality 80g geotextile filter membrane on the market.

If moisture wicks through your slab and you have flooring on top of your slab, then your flooring could mold, rot, or mildew, which would result in having to remove it. Having geotextile driveway fabric under your gravel driveway will prevent you from continually needing to add more aggregate base to your road since the rock will drop into the subgrade layer. When using rigid foam, make sure the vapor barrier goes above rigid insulation so that concrete does not get beneath insulation when pouring.

Gravel stabilisation mat with geotextile base provides a quick and simple method of creating a strong, durable and permeable platform for gardens, pathways, driveways and gravel access roads including industrial and commercial applications. Putting plastic under the foam could risk the saturation of the insulation and compromise its ability to insulate. With a water table two feet below the surface and a subgrade of low-grade sand, it was becoming difficult to expand. The layers beneath the top layer of gravel are what will provide your driveway's stability and support. As we’ve discussed above, one of the significant benefits of landscape fabric is that it helps prevent weeds and grass from growing in your driveway.
