Bodpave 40 is a permeable paving grid manufactured from 100% recycled polymers. Its interlocking cellular structure provides ground reinforcement, load distribution, and effective drainage for grass or gravel surfaces.
A geocomposite root barrier system that creates a chemical barrier by mechanically encapsulating a copper layer between a woven polypropylene geotextile and a high strength non-woven polypropylene geotextile.
Terram RootGuard Plus is a high-performance non-permeable root barrier designed to prevent root ingress into structures and hard landscaping. Manufactured from polypropylene geotextile coated with a HDPE to provide long-term root containment.
FlexiRoot is built around a tough, woven HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) material core which is reinforced and coated both sides with LDPE/LLDPE film. This versatile membrane is suitable a range of applications.
Terram WeedGuard is a permeable weed control geotextile designed for landscaping and garden applications. Manufactured from durable polypropylene fibres, it suppresses weed growth while allowing the passage of water, air, and nutrients.
FrostSecure is a trade-quality garden fleece that can provide frost protection for plants and pots during the winter months. Thick needle punched non-woven geotextile manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene.
Terram 1000 is a non-woven polypropylene geotextile designed for separation and filtration in construction and landscaping applications. High tensile strength, puncture resistance and controlled permeability for long-term ground stability.
Bodpave 85 is a heavy-duty permeable paving grid manufactured from 100% recycled polymers. Its interlocking cellular structure delivers high load-bearing capacity, ground reinforcement, and effective drainage for trafficked grass or gravel surfaces.
ReRoot is a ribbed HDPE root barrier system designed to direct root growth downward and protect hard surfaces and utilities. Its structured profile provides effective root management for paved areas and tree installations.
Techcell GC is a geocellular confinement system constructed from welded HDPE strips that create an expandable cellular structure. Designed for stabilisation, load support, & erosion control on landscaping & civil engineering projects.
Tuffedge is a heavy-duty polyethylene lawn edging system designed to create durable, defined borders between grass, planting areas, and paths. It provides flexible installation and long-term edge restraint in landscaping applications.
Woodgrain Edge is a polyethylene lawn edging system with a natural wood-effect finish. It provides durable border definition, flexible installation, and long-term edge restraint for gardens, planting areas, and landscaped spaces.
Installation Guides
Ensure that the roll is in good condition and doesn’t show any damage due to transit. Prior to laying any sharp objects should be removed from the installation area. Soils placed against and close to the barrier should be free of any sharp objects that could potentially puncture the barrier.
The following instructions give general guidance on installing FlexiRoot barriers provided by PBA Solutions. Root Barrier Systems are the distributors for FlexiRoot and PBA are the operators. Root barriers will only block roots at the face of the barrier. Correct design and installation are therefore critical.
Product Case Studies
PBA Solutions was contracted by a developer to deal with a large infestation of Japanese knotweed that was close to a boundary line, preventing groundworks and construction in the site area. Choosing CuTex for the installation created a reliable barrier against the Japanese knotweed, while allowing for moisture delivery to tree roots and preventing water logging in the soil.
Our FlexiRoot barrier has a market leading puncture resistance of 5502 newtons, yet it is flexible making it easy to install when planting new Bamboo. Furthermore, you can retro fit FlexiRoot around established Bamboo removing runners that have already extended further than the location of the root barrier.
CuTex Specific Documents
Root barriers act as a physical barrier to root growth and are often specified and used to stop invasive weed species, including Japanese knotweed, growing from one location into an area which needs to be protected. The objective of using a root barrier is to segregate land impacted by Japanese knotweed from that which is free of Japanese knotweed rhizome.
Geofabrics Limited is a British manufacturing company established in 1992. From the outset the objective was to manufacture high-performance geosynthetics to the highest possible standards and provide engineering
support to ensure a value engineered solution to complex problems within civil applications.
Ensure that the roll is in good condition and doesn’t show any damage due to transit. Prior to laying any sharp objects should be removed from the installation area. Soils placed against and close to the barrier should be free of any sharp objects that could potentially puncture the barrier.
