PLASTGUARD 400 — profiled membrane for protecting waterproofing

PLASTGUARD 400 is a profiled high-density polyethylene membrane with studs shaped as truncated cones. It is a protective drainage layer, not stand-alone waterproofing: it protects waterproofing and thermal insulation of foundations and is also laid as an underlay beneath paths and blind areas. Compressive strength is 200 kPa, flexibility is retained down to −50 °C, and conventional durability is at least 100 years. On horizontal surfaces the sheet is laid loose, on walls it is fixed along the top edge above the waterproofing level; rolls — 20 × 2 or 20 × 1 m.
