Geotextiles are permeable fabrics that can separate, filter, drain and protect the soil upon which they are placed. They are usually made from polypropylene or polyester. As the materials from which they are made can be combined and altered in almost infinite ways, and still be called geotextiles, it is virtually impossible to put a number on the amount of fabrics on the market. New geotextiles are designed continuously. If one is interested in geotextiles, reading more on the pages of retailers would be an idea.
