LMC 3.5 oz Jute Hessian Burlap Fabric

Hessian cloth, also known as burlap, is a versatile material that has been used for various applications, including construction wrapping. It's made from the fibers of the jute plant and is known for its durability, breathability, and resistance to environmental conditions. Here's how hessian cloth is commonly used in construction wrapping:

Uses: 

1) Erosion Control: Hessian cloth can be used to prevent soil erosion on construction sites. It can be laid on slopes and embankments to control sediment runoff and prevent the loss of topsoil due to rain and wind.

2) Silt Fencing: Hessian cloth is often used in combination with stakes to create silt fences. These fences help filter sediment from stormwater runoff, keeping soil and other particles from entering water bodies and causing pollution.

3) Concrete Curing: In construction, hessian cloth is sometimes used for curing concrete. After pouring concrete, hessian cloth is dampened and placed over the surface to retain moisture and promote proper curing. This prevents cracks and ensures the concrete reaches its desired strength.

4) Protection of Building Materials: Hessian cloth can be used to wrap and protect various construction materials like bricks, stones, and timber during transportation and storage. It provides a breathable barrier that helps prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to deterioration or mold growth.

5) Temporary Windbreaks: Hessian cloth can be hung as temporary windbreaks around construction sites. This can help control dust and debris, especially in windy areas, and provide a bit of privacy for the construction site.

6) Construction Site Shade: Hessian cloth can be used to create temporary shading structures on construction sites. This can provide some relief to workers from the sun and help prevent overheating of construction materials.

7) Decorative Use: While not a functional use in construction, hessian cloth can be used decoratively for events, promotions, and themed construction sites. It offers a rustic and natural aesthetic that's popular in certain design styles.
