What is an insulating membrane, a person who is far from construction is unlikely to guess, but those who work in this area are well aware that without the use of this material it is practically impossible to provide high-quality waterproofing protection to structures of any kind in many areas. But this is only when the material meets all the technical requirements for it. "Izostud" is a membrane that is known in the construction world as a reliable protection. What is this material and why is it needed?
Material Features
Few of the individual developers use
waterproofing film when working
, considering it an unnecessary material, since building envelopes are impermeable to water. Unfortunately, this is a very common misconception: moisture under the influence of capillary absorption, gravity and wind pressures can penetrate through the smallest openings, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Isostud waterproofing will help prevent moisture from entering any structure. The membrane is available for use in different fields, so it has a different thickness. So, for example, to protect flower beds or foundations of temporary structures, a material with a thickness of 0.4 is suitable.
Benefits & Features
What will the application of this material give? The drainage membrane will increase the service life of the structure, reduce the cost and time of arranging waterproofing. You can lay the material in any weather without special preparation. Moreover, the film can be placed both horizontally and vertically - in any position, on damp or uneven surfaces.
The advantages include the following properties:
- Simple convenient installation. Applying mechanisms, a special tool, possessing professional skills is not necessary for this.
- Chemical and biological resistance.
- Resistance to root sprouting.
- A guarantee of 20 years, but the drainage membrane is much larger - almost as much as the design will stand.
About the manufacturer
Isostud is a membrane manufactured by the TeMa company. The company is known as a manufacturer of quality waterproofing materials. Over 11 years of work, the company's employees not only gained invaluable experience, but also introduced new technologies in the production, expanded the product line in such a way as to improve the characteristics of the materials needed in various types of work.
In addition, the production uses the most modern Italian equipment. It is thanks to this that the company produces 4.8 m wide canvases. These are the largest indicators to date. The type in which waterproofing material is produced is rolled. This is necessary for the convenience of storage, transportation and subsequent installation.
Product range
- Isostud. Membrane profiled view. Over the entire area of the material, projections are evenly spaced. They have the shape of a truncated cone. The height of each element is 7.5 mm. Designed for installation both indoors and outdoors. Roll width - 2 m, weight - 500 g / m².
- Isostud PRO. Profiled high density polyethylene material. Available in a width of 3 m, weight - 0.6 kg / m². The film has a technological allowance for the complete sealing of joints. To fix them, it is necessary to use a self-adhesive tape "Eloten".
- "Isostud MS." For the manufacture of profiled membranes, high density polyethylene is used. Distinctive features of this type of film: weight - 400 g / m², width - 2.0 (1.5) m.
- "Isostudy GEO". This is a film on one of the surfaces of which a geotextile layer was applied during manufacture. Geotextile - non-woven polypropylene, not amenable to siltation. Due to the presence of drainage channels between the geotextile and the membrane, excess moisture is removed from the ground, and this is a guarantee that the equipped drainage systems will function fully and provide excellent waterproofing.
Areas of use
The material is intended to solve the following problems:
- Waterproofing protection. After installation, glued surfaces do not allow moisture to pass, providing insulation of walls below the soil level and dry basement.
- Arrangement of drainage. The membrane serves as a filter for rainwater accumulating in the soil, while retaining small particles of soil.
- Landscaping. The material is used to stabilize the soil in the manufacture of paths and platforms near the house. Due to this, asphalt, tiles, soil waterlogging does not occur, grass does not grow on the surface.
- Replacing concrete preparation. The use of the membrane is economically advantageous for those structures where the foundation is not required - temporary outbuildings.
- Basement repair. To eliminate sources of moisture formed due to poor-quality external waterproofing.
- Arrangement of exploited roofs.
