Platon Brick Plugs & Seals  

For Fixing Platon Membranes to walls

Platon Brick Plugs are used to secure Platon System membranes to building substrates and to fix battens or tracking systems. Before using Platon Brick Plugs either wrap a bead of Platon Rope around the back of the head of the plug to form a compression seal or put a Platon Brick Plug Seal onto the plug to again form a compression seal when the plugs are fixed.

Platon Double Sided Sealing Tape 

For Membrane Joints

Platon Tape is a blue butyl tape which is used for joining Platon membranes along the flange where any of these membranes overlap. It is used for abutting joints, for repairs or where membranes have been cut to enable them to overlap, for example at corners, reveals, wall/floor joints or protrusions through the membrane. 

Visqueen V20 Floor Membrane   

Installation Guide

Visqueen V20 is used as a floor membrane as part of the Visqueen Cavity Drain System. The membrane can be used in vertical (wall) applications where a higher drainage capacity is required or complex convoluted wall shapes . The system is typically used for internally tanking basements within new, existing and retrofit build projects. The system can also be used for heritage buildings and in conservations projects.
