What is Flexitex and how is it used?

Flexitex is a double woven textile shuttering for erosion control and underwater concrete work. Made of high-strength polyamide or polyester yarn, using Flexitex reduces installation times offering a cost-effective solution for a range of water-side applications.

More about the Flexitex Range:

Flexitex with rectangular filter points:

The double-weave mattress has been woven together at regular points which act as a filter to even out water pressure.

Flexitex with distance threads:

This mattress has no filter points. The upper and lower sections are connected by means of spacing yarns to ensure that the concrete-filled mattress is of even thickness.
