T-RECS Turf Matting
T-RECS high-performance mat is a permanent, three-dimensional, woven polypropylene mat designed to provide erosion protection on steep slopes and high-velocity channels.
The process of manufacturing T-RECS involves cross-directional monofilament fibres woven into multiple dimensions featuring the T-RECS Technology with dome characteristics.
This unique process and feature enhances the performance of the product and gives additional support to the vegetation. T-RECS provides reinforcing capabilities and interlocking root system while assisting the vegetation establishment. The product can be either surface applied or soiled filled to maximise performance.
The T-RECS meets Type 5.A, 5.B, and 5.C specification requirements established by the Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC) and Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) FP-03 Section 713.18.
T-RECS can be secured in place using the Cirtex® Ground Staples providing a secure connection to ensure that the grassroots establish into the matting. The Cirtex Platipus ARGS® anchors can also be used to secure the T-RECS in the more demanding applications where extra reinforcement is needed.
Platipus® and ARGS® are a Registered Trademarks of Platipus Anchor, registered in England.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you cut T-RECS?
T-RECS can easily be cut using a sharp knife or pair of scissors.
Should you apply hydroseed on top or underneath T-RECS?
Seeding would usually be onto the growing media before placement of the T-RECS, with the T-RECS pinned in close contact to the ground surface on top. However this varies from site to site, please phone Cirtex for more information.
What overlap is required?
We typically recommend a minimum of 150mm overlap. However this may vary based on the site conditions, please contact us to discuss further.
