TopTex Protection Fabric

In order to gain an optimum energy yield from wood chip, its moisture content must be limited to a minimum, this can make outside storage difficult unless you have access to a barn. However a good cost effective method is to use Toptex protection fabric.

The benefits of covering wood chip with TopTex protection fabric are:

  • Allows respiration
  • Sheds rain water
  • Wind proof
  • Easily handled
  • Visually attractive
  • Longevity
  • Economic

 

TopTex - water shedding and respirating

toptex wood chip protection coverTopTex drains off rain water along its surface, the wood chip remains dry! ( Extreme and unusual precipitation however, can result in a partial moistening of the wood chip.)

TopTex is respirating, so the wood chip dries off!
Moist air created by the warming-up of the chip pile can easily penetrate through the fabric.
TopTex makes a storage outside possible. The construction of expensive halls or roofs are no longer necessary.
Additionally, in the case of wind TopTex protects neighbouring properties - the development of dust is significantly reduced!


TopTex can easily be cut to the required size. It consists of polypropylene filaments which are not chemically harmful to the environment. TopTex is decay resistant, and the enhanced UV-stabilisation of the polymer allows a use of TopTex for up to five years!
