RootBarrier Flat

Description

The RootBarrier Flat is a high strength root barrier for deeper applications. The RootBarrier Flat is rigid enough to hold its form when placed into a trench. This is a big advantage as it will not be dragged downward during backfilling. Market leading puncture resistance and strength, mean that this is the root barrier of choice for specifiers and utility companies requiring root free service corridors. The high puncture resistance allows easier compaction close to the barrier ensuring an excellent product/soil interface. This product has been used extensively on many projects, particularly in new service infrastructure projects, business parks and housing developments.
