GREENFIX Covamat mats are ready-seeded erosion blankets. Covamat Plus is a dry seed erosion blanket in which growth begins in a few weeks, and Covamat Fresh is a fresh seed erosion blanket with incorporated soil, so growth can begin immediately.
The most popular mat in Finland of the Covamats is type 3 with a 100% coir fibre erosion blanket. The seed erosion blanket includes selected seeds inside the blanket in recycled paper. The built-in organic fertilisers and micro-organisms further facilitate growth. The mat is reinforced by a jute net or a PP net.
The product is designed for on-ground structures such as new ramps, water guidance channels, runoff water pools, support structures for founded subsoils, lake shore areas, the protection of natural monuments, founding of flower meadows, and road ditch structures.
EROSION PROTECTION AND PLANT FOUNDATIONS WITH ONE PRODUCT!
The best way to make new erosion protected areas, or protect existing ones, is to use Covamat ready-seeded eriosion blankets. The blankets lets through enough rainwater and protects the growth foundation, so the plants can develop fast. The blankets are made from organic materials, as coir fiber and hay. The blankets are sown together on both sides with a degradable net. Thanks to it, the blankets are strong and flexible. They protect the seeds from wind and water erosion and create optimal growing environments. In hot weather the blankets protect from drought, especially during germination. In winter they protect from mechanical erosion.
