Jute Mat Thick is a thick or heavy-duty erosion control matting, made from natural jute fibres that are 100% biodegradable over time. Jute Mat Thick acts as a mulch, providing weed suppression and moisture retention to enhance plant establishment, while protecting the topsoil from erosion.
Jute Mat Thick is a natural mulch mat for weed and erosion control, ideal for:
- Slopes up to 1:1 or 45 degrees
- Swale drains
- Roadside landscaping
- Garden and revegetating beds
- Wetlands and riverbanks
- Channels
- Coastal sites

WHY CHOOSE JUTE MAT THICK?
- Reduces erosion by protecting exposed soils
- Protects the soil from erosion, while allowing the seeds to grow through the mat
- Can be subjected to water flow of up to 1.8 metres per second
- Acts as a roll-on mulch adding organic matter to the soil as it breaks down
- Acts as a blanket to prevent loss of seed by wind, water and birds
- Ideal for revegetation and can be used to supress weed growth
- Holds in moisture to aid the growth of plants
- 100% organic natural fibres which are biodegradable over an 18-month period, and will not entangle or endanger wildlife
- Reduces heat absorption to help protect plants
- Strong and flexible when being laid, easily conforming to the contours of the ground

FUNCTION
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
