Negligent construction practices are the main cause of damage to newly installed membranes – waterproofing membranes need to be protected.

Damage can occur from sharp stones during back filling or landscaping, traffic from on-site workers and tools from construction trades.

 

The following material are used to protect:

  • 1  Flute thermo plastic polypropylene sheet
  • 2.     External laminate protection sheet supplied by reputed manufacturers
  • Self adhesive protection laminate sheets are also available.

There are many different types of water proof membranes.

  1. Paint type. ensure manufactures specifications are met. particularly in relation to cleanliness and surface preparation.
  2. Liner type. ensure membrane is not rupture by things under or place on top of or over laying membrane.

regardless of what type you are using a membrane only works if it is unbroken, the integrity of the barrier is your protection.
