You can be confident your building will perform the way you designed it for years to come. Continuous mechnical bond between membranes and concrete Prevents water migration between the membrane and the concrete; eliminates a common cause of leaks. There will be no question that you specified the best solution to the problem of foundation and slab leaks in blind side applications. Weatherable Preprufe membranes can be left exposed to the weather for 30 days without requiring special treatment to prevent deterioration. Preprufe membranes allow you to be more flexible in your schedule; they will not turn "mush" in there's a delay. Self-Adhering side laps Watertight side laps are formed immediately upon installation. A more reliable system means you will get the performance you specified. Immediate in-place protection Protection begins once the system is in place and the concrete is poured. Preprufe membranes do not require water for activation or soil for confinement. There's no question about when, or if, the waterproofing protection begins. All components are compatible Job is easy to detail and virtually foolproof to install. You can be sure that everything will work together. Part of a complete waterproofing system Now you can install a fully integrated waterproofing system around the entire structure. You get the assurance that the slab and foundation will be equally secure from water infiltration. Single source manufacturer All components are supplied by one manufacturer; easy to specify. Your job is less complicated; one call does it all! [top]
