Civil and Environmental Construction Projects，selecting the correct geo textile materialis critical for performance, cost, and longevity. Two primary categories dominate:non woven geotextile and woven geotextile fabric. Understanding their core differences is not technical jargon—it’s essential for smart buying.
The Fundamental Difference: Structure Dictates Function
Think of woven geotextiles as a strong, stable grid (like burlap). They are made by weaving individual yarns.Non-woven geotextiles, like pp nonwoven geotextile, are a random, felt-like web of fibers bonded together. This structural difference drives all performance characteristics.
Performance & Procurement Comparison
| Aspect | Non-Woven Geotextile Fabric | Woven Geotextile Fabric |
| Primary Function |
Filtration, Drainage, Protection, Cushioning
|
Separation, Reinforcement, Soil Stabilization |
| Key Strength |
High permeability, excellent planar water flow (drainage geotextile), conformability . |
High tensile strength, load distribution, dimensional stability. |
| Typical Project Use |
Under drainage stone, behind retaining walls, protectinggeomembranes(non woven geotextile membrane).
|
Under road bases (road fabric), stabilizing soft subgrades, under heavy loads. |
| Cost Consideration |
Generally cost-effective for filtration/drainage roles. Price varies with weight (gsm).
|
Can be more expensive per square meter, but provides irreplaceable reinforcement value. |
| Supplier Dialogue |
Asknon woven geotextile suppliersabout: weight, puncture resistance, flow rate, UV stability.
|
Ask suppliers about: tensile strength (MD & CMD), aperture size, elongation. |

Buy NON-WOVEN when you need water to pass through freely (filter fabric,non woven geotextile drainage fabric) or need a protective cushion (e.g., under an hdpe liner sheet).
Buy WOVEN when you need to prevent soil mixing and add tensile strength (geotextile separator,geotextile soil stabilizationfor roads).
Choosing the wrong type can lead to project failure. Always base your specification on therequired function, not just price. Reputable non woven geotextile manufacturers and woven fabric producers will provide technical data sheets to guide your choice. Don‘t just buy geotextile fabric; invest in the rightengineering solution.
