Do I need a seed mat or a standard erosion control blanket?

If you are seeding the area directly, BonTerra's seed-mat variant (straw fibre with quilted backing paper) is designed to support germination. If vegetation is already established or being planted separately, a standard blanket is generally sufficient.

Q: What is the difference between straw and coir erosion control blankets?

Straw blankets offer fast, affordable coverage and suit general slope and landscape protection, including a seed-mat variant for direct germination. Coir blankets are more durable and better suited to sites needing longer-lasting reinforcement while vegetation establishes.

Q: Can erosion control blankets be used on new embankments?

Yes. BonTerra's Straw and Straw-Coir Mixed Mat lines are commonly used on constructed embankments and engineered earthworks to protect exposed soil while vegetation cover establishes.

Applications of Natural Organic Embankment Mats for Embankment Protection

Natural Embankment mats such as Coir Geotextiles, Erosion Control blankets, and Jute Mats can be effectively used for protecting embankments such as Road Embankments, River Embankments, Strem Bank Embankments and Other embankments. These materials form a protective layer over the soil, reducing erosion caused by wind and rain. Additionally, they create a favourable environment for vegetation establishment, which further stabilises the embankment. This application enhances the safety and longevity of embankments.

Road Embankments

Enhance the Safety and Longevity of Roads: Woven and Non-Woven Geotextiles, Coir blankets, and Jute Mats can be effectively used for protecting road embankments. This application enhances the safety and longevity of roads.

River Embankments

For River embankments, natural embankment mats are valuable solutions. They help safeguard river embankments from erosion and flooding, offering protection to communities and vital infrastructure.

Stream Bank Embankments

Coir Mattings, Erosion control blankets, and jute soil savers can be used to protect stream bank embankments. These materials prevent erosion and promote vegetation establishment, thereby enhancing water quality and reducing the risk of flooding.

Protecting and Stabilizing Various Infrastructural Embankments

Apart from the mentioned applications, geotextiles, coir blankets, and jute soil savers are versatile and can protect and stabilise various other types of embankments. These include railway embankments, canals, and dams.
