Platon Floor Membrane
It has been used on foundations since the early 1990s with no product related leaks.
Platon floor membrane. Platon membrane must extend from finished grade chalk line to the top of the footing. Crease the platon sharply at the footing wall. Platon p2 floor membrane is a thin pp cavity membrane which has been developed for use over floors when isolation from dampness or chemical contamination is required. This allows the concrete to breathe while keeping the floor dry.
Platon flooring protector isolates flooring from cold damp concrete. The solution for floating floors platon comfort has a water vapour resistance three times higher than traditional pe films and is the only underlay membrane that provides permanent protection against dampness a high level of walking comfort and effective sound reduction in one product. Platon is a waterproofing membrane that provides superior moisture protection for all types of foundations in residential basement applications. Platon is a strong double dimpled 24 mil hdpe membrane.
The overall membrane thickness of 2 5mm means that effective protection can be provided without undue intrusion or disruption to the planned floor layer build up. The finished floor is isolated from the cold concrete and becomes room temperature not slab temperature. Platon creates an impermeable sub floor vapour barrier and air gap allowing the concrete to breathe while keeping the floor dry. When used beneath a wooden sub floor and over concrete in a basement it makes floors comfortable odour free healthy and dry.
This dimpled 24 mil wrap separates water from the foundation wall and permanently bridges foundation cracks preventing moisture from entering the basement of a home. Platon is made from tough durable high density polyethylene hdpe certainteed platon is a waterproofing membrane that provides superior moisture protection for all types of foundations in residential basement applications. Platon can be sawn to height while rolled up. Platon creates an impermeable vapour barrier and air gap allowing concrete to breathe while controlling moisture.
By using platon over the concrete an impermeable vapor barrier and air gap is created. Standing the roll on the footing when unrolling platon is easiest.
