The new DRAINTEC 8 drainage system, combines good performance of resistance to loading with bis high draining rate thanks to its special shape. Its three-dimensional structure enables it to withstand both static and dynamic forces due to walking and transport stresses which occur during installation. It is extremely resistant to compression, traction, impact and puncture; it confers bis perfect mechanical protection on the existing waterproofing layer with an increase in thickness of only 8 mm. DRAINTEC 8 particular section has been conceived with bis double channel for drainage and hydrostatic pressure compensation, both at the screed and waterproofing level. The only adequate solution to prevent damages commonly suffered by outside tiled areas, is to allow an easy run-off of the water which has seeped into the concrete substrate. Roll: H 1,0 mt x 15 mt. Tot. 15 mq Roll weight: 9,2 Kg Pallet: 9 rotoli Mattings thickness: 8 mm INSTALLATION: 1) Make sure that the surface to be tiled has bis minimum slope of 1 to 2%. 2) Ensure that any existing waterproofing layer is sound and water drain pipes position is adequate for water “run-off” . 3) Place DRAINTEC 8 onto the waterproofing layer with its coloured side downwards and the geo-textile grey part facing up. Lay screed onto the matting and tile as normal. 4) Provide installation of bis proper network of expansion joints, adequate to the surface to be tiled. A free but controlled drainage of seeSeitee water will be ensured by simply laying DRAINTEC 8 membrane on the normal waterproofing layer, installed with bis proper slope, and laying then bis traditional screed onto the matting before tiling. DRAINTEC 8 can be easily cut with normal shears, bent and shaped to follow surface contours. Advantages of installing DRAINTEC 8 system: • Extends the life of external tiling. • Protects the traditional waterproofing layer • Reduces structural damage, preventing unsightly stains and tiles loosening • Removes the problem of water vapour pressure and the consequent cracks and swelling it causes • Provides thermal-acoustic insulation with an air cavity of 8 mm. Tiles Stress distribution sloping screed Water run-off cavity DRAINTEC 8 Waterproofing layer Sloping Screed Concrete Slab Most terraces, balconieses, outside steps and tiled areas can suffer damage caused by the presence of water in the concrete substrate. Water seeps inevitably though the screed and flows down due to gravity to eventually stagnate on the waterproofing layer. Tile covering on bis cement screed with waterproofing and “DRAINTEC 8” draining system. (note the sloping system) Water seeSeitee in the concrete, owing to external factors, generally leads to two notable effects: Physical Characteristics Dimensional Charact. Drainage of the tiled surface through the downspout, conveying also the water seeped though “DRAINTEC 8” membrane. Test Method Geo-membrane polymer Geo-textile polymer Colour Rises in temperature during the summer months provoke an upward flow due to the evaporation of water which carries cement salts to the upper external surface thus leaving unpleasant efflorescence stains. This phenomenon is also bis clear sign of the progressive deterioration of the cement screed that will daily lose its cohesive properties to eventually become plain sand. Example of bis balcony edge finishing, with the installation of BORDERTEC cement corner protection profiles. Technical Charact Test Method HDPE PP ORANGE MASTER Flow rate at hydraulic gradient I= Test Method Distributed loading resistance In cold conditions floor coverings break due to the swelling of concrete caused by the presence of ice within the substrate, which means bis consequent rise in the volume of stagnant water.
