Super Platina – Premium Waterproofing Membrane 100mm x 10m

Super Platina Premium waterproofing membranes are specifically designed for demanding conditions like those found in the harsh South African climate. These products aim to prevent water leaks and damages by providing a strong, water-tight barrier.

KEY POINTS
– Composition: The membranes are made of non-woven, 100% polyester stitch bond fabric with a stitch length of 2.5mm. This material is known for its
durability and ability to form a tight seal against water.

• Function: The membranes are applied to surfaces to prevent water from penetrating through joints, screws, lashings, knocks, valleys, and other
  vulnerable areas. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of structures and preventing water-related damage.

• Compatibility with ToughSealer: They are designed to work in conjunction with Super Platina tough rubber sealer (ToughSealer) or any other high
  quality rubber sealer. This combination enhances the waterproofing effectiveness, ensuring a reliable barrier against moisture and leaks.

• Climate Suitability: Specifically tailored for the harsh conditions of the South African climate, these products are formulated to withstand extreme
  weather conditions, including heavy rains.

• Application: Ideal for various surfaces where waterproofing is critical, such as roofs, walls, and other architectural elements. The goal is to protect these
  surfaces from water damage, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

• Benefits: Provides a dynamic waterproofing solution that not only protects surfaces but also ensures they remain in pristine condition over time.

PURPOSE OF USING MEMBRANES WITH WATERPROOFING
The purpose of using membranes with waterproofing is to provide a durable, impermeable barrier that prevents water from penetrating surfaces. Here are some key reasons:

Enhance Durability: Waterproofing membranes are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including heavy rain, extreme temperatures, and UV exposure. This enhances the longevity and durability of the surfaces they protect.

Versatility: Membranes can be used on various surfaces, including roofs, basements, bathrooms, and balconies, providing flexible and effective
waterproofing solutions for different areas of a building.

Sealing Vulnerable Areas: Roofs often have vulnerable areas such as joints, flashings, valleys, and penetrations (e.g., around vents and chimneys).
Membranes can effectively seal these areas, preventing water ingress and potential leaks.

Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in a high-quality waterproofing membrane can save money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent repairs, mitigating water damage, and avoiding costly structural damage to the building summary, using a material membrane when waterproofing a roof is crucial for ensuring a comprehensive, durable, and effective barrier against water penetration, protecting the roof and the entire building structure from potential damage.
