ISO 9001 Quality Management
Certificate type
Robust, preformed asphaltic board, designed to protect GCP self-adhesive membranes, is rot-proof, non-compressive, lightweight, flexible, and bitumen-impregnated, offering superior water resistance.
Application
- Permanent protection to horizontal and vertical waterproofing membranes against damage caused by site traffic, mechanical damage and ground settlement.
- Temporary protection to areas which need to be protected against following trades; the boards can be taken up at a later stage if required.
Description
Bituminous, semi-flexible protection board for use in horizontal and vertical applications to prevent damage to waterproofing membranes.
Features and benefits:
- Made from a mixture of fibres saturated with at least 75% bitumen, covered one side with a polyethylene film.
- Polyethylene film avoids the bitumen bleeding onto other surfaces.
- Tough and durable and can withstand concrete pour.
- Completely rot-proof and will not delaminate even when immersed in water.
- Can be butted together and fixed by either spot bonding or fixing the edges with heavy duty bitumen tape.
- Can be heat bonded on the open side, providing very good adhesion to vertical surfaces.
- Easily cut and shaped around corners and details.
- Available in two thicknesses.
