Difference Between Woven and Non-Woven Geotextile
Both woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile are widely used in many projects, but what is the difference between woven and non-woven? Woven and non-woven geotextiles are both made from polyester fibres, yet each has different characteristics and functions.
What is the difference between woven and non-woven?
The two types of geotextile clearly look different. Woven geotextile has woven polyester fibres and at first glance resembles a plastic rice sack; it is usually black. Non-woven geotextile, by contrast, has polyester fibres that are not woven. At first glance it looks very much like a fabric carpet and is usually white.
What is the difference between woven and non-woven?
The functions of woven and non-woven geotextile differ for each material. Woven geotextile is usually used in civil engineering for soil stabilisation, especially on soft soil. Woven geotextile can also be used as a separator to prevent embankment fill from mixing with the subgrade in road projects.
What is the difference between woven and non-woven?
Woven geotextile is used more often for stabilisation than non-woven geotextile because woven geotextile has better tensile strength than non-woven geotextile.

Geotextile for Road Reinforcement and Separation
Road construction commonly suffers from settlement, subsidence, rutting and so on, which is why geotextile reinforcement and separation matters. This happens because the fill used in the road can mix with the subgrade. This mixing causes typical road damage because there is no separation layer. It gets worse when the subgrade cannot carry the load, […]
