Whether you’re building a new home or retrofitting an existing foundation, this waterproof foundation membrane is a game-changer.

Why Choose Platon Foundation Wrap for Waterproofing?

The Platon Foundation Wrap is a rugged, dimpled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) membrane that creates a reliable barrier between your foundation and moisture-laden soil. Unlike traditional waterproofing methods, Platon’s unique air-gap technology ensures that any water that bypasses the membrane is directed to the foundation drain, keeping your basement dry. Here’s why it stands out:

• Versatile Application: Suitable for block walls, poured concrete, Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), permanent wood foundations, and existing foundations.
• Durable Design: Made from tough HDPE, it resists damage during backfilling and withstands harsh environmental conditions.
• Easy Installation: With tools like Speedclips and Platon Moulding, installation is straightforward, saving time and labor costs.
• Eco-Friendly: Platon supports sustainable building practices by reducing the need for chemical sealants and excessive material use.

Whether you’re searching for a foundation waterproofing membrane or a waterproofing membrane for foundation, Platon delivers unmatched performance.

Benefits of Using Platon Membrane for Your Foundation

Investing in a waterproof foundation membrane like Platon offers long-term benefits for your home:

1. Prevents Water Infiltration: The dimpled design creates an air gap that channels water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of leaks and cracks.
2. Enhances Basement Comfort: When used as an underlayment, Platon isolates flooring from cold, damp concrete, creating a warm, dry, and odor-free basement.
3. Cost-Effective: Its durability and ease of installation lower maintenance and repair costs over time.
