080. Application

090. Frequently Asked Questions

  • Up to what height should this protective layer be drawn over the waterproofing?
It should fully cover and protect the waterproofing layer.
  • How long can the products be stored in open air?
UV stabilized products, in general, can be exposed to direct sunlight for about 4 weeks.
  • Does a VL layer have to be joined to the layer below it?
No, but it should be weighted against wind uplift if left exposed.
  • Are VL geotextiles root-resistant?
Roots were meant to grow through the VL layers and by intertwining, strengthen the entire system. Mature root growth is therefore more desirable than fresh planting.
