Detailed Product Description

Root solutions-migration and spreading of plant roots are some of the main causes of damage to pavements, roads, building foundations and buried installations such as water pipes, sewers and cables. The best answer to the problem is nylex rootex-root control and barrier system. This system, with its unique 'cusp-profile', is designed for use in municipal planting projects and for specification by engineers and landscape architects to protect land and hardscape from root damage. Nylex rootex can save municipalities and property owners from expensive repair fees incurred when fixing the damage caused by intrusive roots.
Made of polyethylene, it it lightweight and flexible yet extremely durable with excellent resistance against uv, chemicals, acid bases and bateria. It is also tough enough to provide an impenetrable barrier against root migration.
Nylex rootex provides a unique combination of the following mechanisms for reliable root management: -
-root barrier-providing a barrier against shallow roots, significantly reducing uplifting of sidewalks, roads, parking lots, foundations, buried installations and pedestrian hazard.
-root directing- re-directing roots downwards to encourage deep rooting to anchor trees and avoid root circling.
-root nuturing-special 'cusp-profile' harbour greater oxygen and moisture to feed redirected roots and promote healthy rooting.
-ground anchorage-the same distinctive profile also gives it a self-interlocking feature which provides the extra friction resistance against slippage and upward thrust generated by root movement.
