Covamat Fresh - pre-seeded soil erosion control blanket for slopes
Covamat Fresh has all the benefits of Covamat Plus with the addition of 5mm of topsoil incorporated within the blanket. This soil layer allows the incorporated seeds to start germinating almost immediately, which means the blankets must be installed as soon as they arrive on site. Covamat Fresh is available in either 100% straw, 50% straw / 50% coir, or 100% coir
