The whole page turns on one number, how much water a square meter of mat will hold. FloraPlus holds 1 L\/m2 and weighs 3.2 oz per square foot; VivaPlus holds 3 L\/m2 and weighs 9.6 oz per square foot. Dramm runs a deliberately lower saturation capacity than most matting on the market, which means the mat dries down between cycles instead of sitting wet, keeps algae and root-zone pathogens in check, and in exchange may need charging more than once a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the crop. FloraPlus at 1 L\/m2 suits propagation, plugs and small pots where you can irrigate more than once a day; VivaPlus at 3 L\/m2 carries larger containers and slower-turning retail benches, and stretches the interval between charges. Then pick the build. The 2 Layer construction is cap mat and PP ground cover with nothing underneath, so surplus water drains straight through and the mat dries fastest, which is what you want over gravel, over free-draining floors and on benches that already have their own drainage. The 3 Layer construction puts a PE bottom film under the same cap mat and PP ground cover, sealing the underside so the water you apply stays in the mat rather than soaking into the ground, which is what you want on bare soil, on sand and anywhere a leaking bench would just feed weeds. Width follows the bench or bed: every mat is supplied as a 100 ft roll in a 48 in, 72 in or 96 in width, and the 96 in width is built only in the 2 Layer construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater-holding capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 L\/m2 (FloraPlus) or 3 L\/m2 (VivaPlus)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoll width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 in, 72 in or 96 in;
