There is a wealth of information on our website about geotextiles and geosynthetics. While this guide includes some of that information, it cannot encompass the broad amount of information our website places at your fingertips. Here are a few specific features that make our website unique (some features require setting up a free on-line account): 

“PRODUCT DATA SHEETS”

Access all of our product data sheets from the drop-down menu.

“FIND OUR EQUIVALENT”

This feature is very helpful for quickly determining which US Fabrics’ product has the same or similar properties to a competitors’ product. It includes manufacturers no longer in business and products no longer in production. There is nothing this comprehensive anywhere on the internet!

• "View Comparison” For specific products in our “Find Our Equivalent” results, an additional button creates a side-by-side property comparison with the appropriate US Fabrics’ product. You can then create a .pdf and save it to forward to an engineer or customer for approval.

"HELPFUL INFORMATION”

This drop-down menu places a ton of pertinent information at your fingertips, including:

• “Freight” This page offers extensive information on the shipping and handling of geotextiles to help you and your customers better understand how they arrive at the jobsite or facility. Make sure to check out the “Truckload Calculator” to get a good idea how much space your rolls will require in an enclosed van.
• “Installation Guidelines” We offer product specific installation instructions for many of our products. You can choose one here. These will also show up at the bottom of many of our website product pages.
• “Additional Helpful Information”
  • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) • Application Pages • Shipping & Packaging Information.

“TRUCKLOAD CALCULATOR”

This feature is found on the Freight page, Select the product, size and number of rolls to determine how much space your order will require on an enclosed van.

“UNIVERSAL PRODUCT COMPARISON”

This tool allows you to compare the properties of multiple brands and types of geosynthetics side by side. Choose the products you wish to compare and then print or save a .pdf of the comparison! No other geosynthetics’ company website has this powerful tool.

“AGENCIES AND SPECIFICATIONS”

This section can be accessed by clicking on the “DOT/Specs” tab in the gray menu near the top of the page. This page has links to selection guides for all the national specifications (AASHTO, FHWA, NRCS, DOT etc.).

“DOT GEOTEXTILES”

Also accessed by clicking on the “DOT/Specs” tab, this link forwards you to the “State DOT Specifications” page with a listing of all 50 State flags. Clicking on the appropriate flag will forward you to a page that lists our products that meet that state’s specifications, along with links to the specifications, approved products’ list and other helpful information.

TOOLS AVAILABLE WITH FREE ACCOUNT

Creating a free on-line account allows you access to additional tools not available to our standard website users. Clicking on the green “account” button offers a drop down with the options, you can also choose "dashboard" to display all the options.

“PRODUCT FINDER”

If you have an existing specification you are trying to meet, this feature allows you to choose each property listed in the specification from a drop-down menu and enter the values listed in the specification. As you add values, the list of product options will narrow. If you reach a point where no options are presented, please call US Fabrics to determine if any currently available geotextiles will meet the values required.

“APPLICATION FINDER”

This feature offers a drop-down menu of common applications to assist you in determining the product(s) recommended for your application. This is a first step to help narrow down your product options from our complete line to a less broad list of products recommended for the selected application.

"PROJECT BINDER"

Create project specific binders to organize information from our website/app as well as any additional files you have stored on your computer. You will notice that most US Fabrics' website pages or documents offer an "Add to Binder" button. Clicking on this will offer a drop down menu of the various Project Folders you have created. Click on the intended binder and that information will be automatically placed into that binder. Or you can "drop and drage" from your computer. Below are instructions on using the Project Binder:

• Click on "Create Binder" to name the project binder.

• The new binder will be added to your list of project binders.

• Drag and drop the documents you want to place in the folder from any file on your computer.

"MY ORDERS"

Once you have ordered from US Fabrics, you can request that order and all future orders be linked to your account and listed in your dashboard.
