Why Choose Filter Sock?
Core Filter Socks offer unmatched protection for your construction site:
- Photodegradable Mesh: The sock mesh material is made from polypropylene, which breaks down under UV rays over approximately 2-4 years.
- Biodegradable Materials: Each pallet includes hardwood stakes that are 100% biodegradable. Additionally, we offer cotton mesh materials that are fully biodegradable.
- Recycled Wood Byproduct: The mulch used inside the filter socks is made from 100% recycled wood, supporting sustainable practices.
- Comprehensive Quality: Our filter socks are manufactured from the ground up to ensure top-tier quality. Each shipment includes wrapping, stakes, and a protective plastic top for ease of transport and installation.
Filter Sock – Versatile Mesh Options
These Filter Socks come in various mesh types to suit different needs, including cotton filter socks. Cotton options can offer enhanced breathability for specific applications, providing a tailored approach to sediment control.
Filter Sock Benefits
Filter Socks, also known as silt socks, are the preferred choice for sediment control, soil stabilization, stormwater management, and environmental reclamation. They offer several advantages:
- No Trenching Required: Simplify installation with no need for trenching.
- Minimal Crew Needed: Reduce labor costs with a smaller crew.
- Faster Installation: Save time with quick, efficient installation.
- Easy Maintenance: Maintenance is straightforward, ensuring continued effectiveness throughout the project.
Filter Sock Effectiveness
“A number of studies have shown that compost filter socks are at least as effective as traditional erosion controls at removing settleable solids, total suspended solids and a variety of other pollutants from stormwater. An Ohio State University study found that compost filter socks have a 50 percent higher flow-through rate than silt fences without a reduction in sediment removal efficiencies (Keener et al., 2007). A U.S. Department of Agriculture study found that compost filter socks reduced clay and silt particulates (the major contributors to suspended solids and turbidity) by 65 percent, outperforming straw bales and mulch berms.”
