FlexiRoot is formed from a woven HDPE base material, reinforced and coated with a triple layer of LDPE film. Like any highly flexible, non-permeable root barrier it is recommended that this product is used in conjunction with a protective sand layer or protective geotextile in most situations.
Tough and highly flexible material - sheets / rolls can be welded or taped together
Can be cut and effectively resealed to fit round services and foundations
Inert with a minimum 25-year service life expectancy
When using FlexiRoot as a bamboo barrier, ensure that the root barrier is protruding more than 100mm above ground level. Bamboo rhizome (areal roots) will try to extend over barriers placed in their way, therefore it is important to periodically inspect the root barrier and the bamboo activity.
