Armater®

Why Armater

In addition to its functional characteristics, one of the benefits of Armater is its high degree of flexibility. The geocells can follow the gradient of the slope without buckling or warping. Furthermore, the lightweight material allows quick and easy installation.

The geocells are resistant to rotting and therefore stabilize the covered surfaces permanently, independent of the vegetation that has been chosen. Armater is also effective when filled with coarse or poor soil, which is unsuitable to support vegetation. However, any vegetation will improve the efficiency.



The high tensile strength of Armater ensures that the whole system has a high level of tolerance against the wide variety of strains that it has to tackle from the installation stage. The rigidity of the geotextile fabric prevents buckling during topsoil filling. The installation of Armater allows to grow vegetation on sub-bases, such as cut rocky slopes, which were originally unable to support the growth of vegetation. Like that, the filled geocells keep such surfaces secure over a long period of time.
