Protective membrane planter: installation, planter laying. Profiled membrane planter (technonikol) Profiled membrane planter standard

The profiled membrane (PLANTER) is a high-density polyethylene (HPDE) sheet with molded, rounded projections 8 mm high.

The surface of the planter effectively distributes the pressure of the soil over the entire area of ​​​​the base or foundation of buildings and structures. This excludes the formation of local (point) loads.

The space between the wall and the canvas of the planter, formed by ledges, allows free circulation of air, improving the temperature and humidity conditions of the room.

Planter is distinguished by high mechanical strength and resistance to chemically aggressive environments, is not subject to the destructive effects of mold and bacteria, and is resistant to the germination of tree roots.

Planter can be laid both horizontally and vertically. If necessary, you can weld the sheets together along a specially provided flat edge.

Main physical and mechanical characteristics:

If the waterproofing of the foundation is violated, its service life is reduced, and the building becomes unusable. One of the innovations was the use of a profiled membrane.

The main functions and advantages of a profiled membrane

The membranes are made of polyethylene, which is coated with a thermoplastic material. Therefore, such materials have a wide range of uses, as well as increased strength. The profiled type membrane consists of high-density polyethylene, on top of which there are empty convex elements. Thanks to such protrusions, the pressure is distributed over the entire area of ​​​​the material, this helps to prevent deformation.
Profiled type membranes are distinguished by high strength, durability, ease of installation, ease of processing, affordable cost, and it is also resistant to various temperature changes.

Where is a profiled membrane used?

The profiled type membrane can be used in various directions.

1. A drainage system is made of the material near the foundation walls, this ensures the exit of water into the drainage drain.
2. The membrane performs waterproofing protection of the foundation from groundwater and precipitation.
3. The material is used as drainage, which is located horizontally.
4. Also, with the help of such material, you can create ventilation of the walls, for this it is attached to the wall from the inside.

The profiled type membrane is used in the construction of road surfaces, underpasses, garages, basements, foundations, cellars.

What is a profiled planter standard membrane?

The planter standard profiled membrane consists of high-density polyethylene, it has protruding elements of a rounded appearance, eight millimeters high. The surface of such a material allows you to distribute the soil pressure around the entire perimeter of the foundation, that is, point loads do not appear, and deformation is excluded.
Thanks to special protrusions, air enters the space near the walls, that is, high-quality ventilation occurs, the temperature and humidity indicators in the room improve.
The planter standard waterproofing material has increased mechanical resistance, prevents the development of fungal elements, does not respond to temperature changes, and ultraviolet rays. The material can be laid horizontally or vertically, and the edges of the sheets can be welded if necessary.

What are the functions of a profiled membrane?

The profiled membrane serves as a waterproofing material and protects the foundation from soil settlement, the germination of the roots of various plants, water from rain and snow. The material can replace preparatory work for concrete, protects the base slab from groundwater.
When sheltering the walls from the outside, the temperature and humidity indicators improve. And basements become protected from soil moisture.
When sheltering the walls from the inside, the temperature and humidity index is observed in the room. In the basement, moisture descends into the drainage system.

Laying technology of the profiled planter standard membrane

Laying the membrane with damp walls

A profiled type membrane allows you to dry a too damp wall surface, no matter how it is laid, inside or outside. Laying is carried out around the entire perimeter of the surfaces of the floor and walls, fastening is carried out with the help of dowels through the elements of a metal look. In the lower section, a mesh for plaster is attached to the membrane, it can be of a metal or polymer type, it depends on the further material.

Laying to protect waterproofing

No matter what type of waterproofing material is used, it needs reliable protection. The profiled type membrane helps protect the waterproofing from construction debris and sprouted roots, while the base material does not undergo deformation.
Laying the planter standard membrane is not difficult, it is overlapped, fixed above the waterproofing layer with a metal-like bar or with dowels.

The use of the membrane as a replacement for foundation preparation

If the groundwater level is low, then compacted soil, carefully leveled, serves as the base. The groundwater level can be raised by pouring fine gravel, 10 centimeters thick, onto the ground.
The profiled membrane is laid with convex elements down. The rolls are rolled out with an overlap of about 10 centimeters. All connections can be additionally glued with a special bitumen-rubber type tape, this will help prevent leakage of milk from concrete, and protect the structure from groundwater.
In case of mechanical damage to the membrane material, that is, ruptures, it can be glued with tapes. When laying the membrane on an area of ​​considerable size, the cross-section joints are displaced by 50 centimeters. All connections are closed with self-adhesive tape, they can also be welded or dry-jointed.

The difference between the planter standard membrane and other materials

The material has a wide range of uses, as it is strong, durable, and performs its functions to the fullest. Due to the arrangement of convex elements, the membrane has mechanical rigidity, and has the ability to withstand loads up to 25 tons. That is, the membrane of the profiled planter standard type is resistant to loads of various types, and does not lend itself to deformation.
The basis of such material is polyethylene, which has a high density and water resistance. Thus, the membrane provides reliable protection of the surface from moisture ingress. Water is drained through special recesses, which are located between the convex elements. Polyethylene material is resistant to chemical elements, fungus, and other microbes. The membrane withstands aggressive substances that dissolve in the soil, and does not deform when temperature changes.
The planter standard profiled membrane is used to make the drainage system of the walls, and also effectively protects the waterproofing material. Such material has a small weight, which does not exert a significant load on the structure. Also, thanks to this, unloading and transporting the material is not laborious.
The material is easy to install, it is laid out in a horizontal and vertical overlap position, and the joints are closed with a special tape. When using a membrane, the level of humidity and temperature is stabilized by removing moisture from the surfaces.

Features of laying the planter standard membrane

Laying the membrane is easy, thanks to its light weight, and the roll type of packaging, the material spreads quickly, for this there is no need to use special equipment or hired workers.
The laying technology of the planter standard profiled type membrane is carried out by rolling the roll, and then fixing it with dowels or a metal rail.
First you need to determine which side to properly stack the material. The surface with convex elements should be directed towards the waterproofing material or the foundation. Due to the unevenness between the surface and the membrane, air passes freely, this contributes to high-quality ventilation and the removal of excess moisture.
Also, in order to qualitatively protect the base of the building from excessive moisture, the material is overlapped, leaving a small gap, and the ends are fixed with bituminous mastic. The membrane is fixed with dowels, which have a large metal washer.
With increased humidity of the surface of the walls, they are sanitized, while the profiled membrane is laid vertically. Before performing additional surface finishing, a special mesh for plaster is fixed. When laying a profiled-type membrane indoors, they also use a grid for plastering or perform plasterboard sheathing on metal elements. At the same time, the indicators of humidity and temperature in the room stabilize. The profiled membrane provides high-quality ventilation to the surface, and in the basement, moisture flows along the grooves into the drainage system without lingering on the walls.

Main conclusions

The planter standard profiled type membrane is an effective protection for the foundation against groundwater ingress, and prevents the destruction of the waterproofing layer.
The membrane has an affordable cost, thanks to this, it is used in preparation for concrete during the construction of the foundation. This allows you to quickly build a structure, and save on costs. The canvas can be laid on various surfaces, the work is not laborious, since the material has a convenient roll-type packaging, and is light in weight.
Due to the high technical performance, and convex elements located on the surface of the canvas, the material is able to distribute the load evenly over the entire surface. Due to this, there is no deformation and rupture of the membrane, and the load of a point type is also excluded. The planter standard profiled membrane is durable and can last more than 50 years.

Characteristics

Auxiliary and connecting materials

In addition to membrane roll materials, the manufacturer's line includes all the necessary related materials for fixing the web to different types of surfaces and connecting strips in the vertical and horizontal plane.

Polyethylene profile Planter Profile is made of high density polymer. Products are designed for pressing the canvas on waterproofing sheathing. The profile is installed over the profile membrane, above the waterproofing materials. Also, the polymer strip performs a protective function: the profile prevents moisture from entering the insulating layers.
As a fastener for a rolled profile sheet, use:

• Dowels with washers. The dowels are made of high-strength steel, the washers are made of dense polyethylene. Are applied to fixing of cloths on all types of vertical surfaces. To reduce the load on 1 fastening unit, a special shape of the pressure washer has been developed, thanks to which the weight of the sheet is distributed evenly over a larger area.

• Fasteners on a flat adhesive base. To fix expanded polystyrene sheets and membranes on a bitumen base, plastic fasteners No. 01 TechnoNIKOL are used. The adhesive base is firmly fixed on the base, and the polyethylene dowel securely holds the canvas without the formation of "cold bridges".

Plastic dowel with self-adhesive base

To connect the strips of membranes to each other, use:

• Planterband is an adhesive tape designed for joining joints, sealing seams. Polymer-bitumen tape is suitable for working with all types of rolled profiled materials.

• Nicoband is a roll material for joining sheets with overlapped edges. The base is aluminum, the adhesive composition is bituminous. The adhesive layer is protected by a transparent film.

Aluminum Based Sealant

Technology of laying protective membranes in TechnoNIKOL insulation systems

The laying technology of profiled Planter membranes is quite simple. To fix the canvases, when using the connecting materials recommended by the manufacturer, the use of hot gluing methods and special tools is not required.

Attaching material to vertical surfaces

Installation of membrane protection is carried out both outside buildings and on the internal walls of wet rooms. For laying in private houses, a product of the Standard, Eco level is chosen. When it is necessary to connect the membrane to the wall drainage line, it is rational to use material with geotextiles.

Planter Standart membrane sheets, when fixed to a vertical wall, can be laid horizontally and vertically.

Laying fabric with a geotextile layer

The upper edge of the canvas should be 15–20 cm above the waterproofing installation line. When installing a decorative coating, excess material can be cut off. To fix the sheet, an edge clamp is attached.

Edge alignment for vertical mounting

The fabrics are overlapped. The edges of adjacent strips should be aligned with an overlap of 3 - 4 ledges wide. When laying, the seams of the joints are sealed with bitumen-based adhesive tape.

The sheets are fixed on dowels or on plastic fasteners, if it is necessary to connect the membrane with the bitumen layer.

Horizontal laying of membranes

As preparation for the foundation, Planter Standard is laid directly on the ground. The base must be flat, free from hard stony inclusions. The soil must be compacted. It is allowed to create a gravel cushion up to 10 cm high.

The fabrics are rolled out. Be sure to check that folds and creases do not form on the strips. The first roll can be rolled out along the marked line, spikes down. The following strips are laid with overlapping edges.

Tape connection on aluminum base

Connect the edges with a reinforced tape on an aluminum base.

Connecting strips with a textile layer

When using a web with a geotextile layer, the edges of the webs are connected in two stages. The textile layer is folded over, the polyethylene base is connected with adhesive tape, the connection is duplicated after laying the edges of the textile.

Inside the living quarters, the membrane is laid with spikes up. The membrane performs the function of sound insulation and thermal insulation, protection against moisture infiltration, especially on the first floors. The sheets are laid end to end. The seams between the sheets are glued with polymer-bitumen tape.

Video: use of profile membranes

Detailed instruction from the manufacturer on the use of the profiled membrane Planter Standart.

The use of membrane materials instead of classical concrete preparation in the construction of foundations is economically beneficial. The cost of arranging the base is reduced significantly. In order not to overpay, choose the optimal class of material: for private construction, it is enough to purchase Eco budget canvases. If you need to calculate the number of rolls and choose the type of membrane for a large construction site, contact the specialists, because the calculations take into account not only the area and number of storeys of the building, but also the characteristics of the soil.

Planter Standard is a profiled membrane, which is a modern construction sheet with protective properties. This single-layer fabric is made of high density polyethylene, and its outer surface has rounded protrusions, the height of which is 8 mm. The membrane is quite light and has high strength, it is used in industrial and residential construction. You, too, can consider using it, as it allows you to achieve positive results and helps to save not only effort, but also money. However, before purchasing the material, it is necessary to become more familiar with its qualities and features of installation work.

Description

Planter Standard is a profiled membrane, which has a low weight, facilitating unloading/loading and transportation. This quality naturally simplifies installation work. The membrane is reliable and durable. She is ready to serve 50 years or more. Polyethylene materials have high strength, and the shape of the spikes is designed to ensure even distribution of the load over the entire surface.

Point influences are completely excluded. As practice shows, installation work can be completed in the shortest possible time. Planter Standard is a profiled membrane, which is designed to protect the waterproofing, as well as the lower zone of the basement from moisture. In addition, along the way, you can get rid of problems such as the germination of the roots of trees and shrubs, as well as pressure changes during settlement or base shift. You can also protect the foundation with this material before backfilling it. The material can be used to replace concrete preparation and protect the inner surface of the walls from exposure to excessive moisture. This is both condensate and water.

With the help of the membrane, you can quickly sanitize the facade, as well as remove moisture from it. The material allows you to maintain optimal temperature and humidity indoors. The described profiled membrane is so popular today due to its affordable cost and optimal qualities.

Specifications

Planter Standard is a profiled membrane, which is available in a thickness of 0.55 mm. The exact height of the spike is 7.5 mm. The weight of one square meter of material is 0.55 kg or more. When purchasing this composite sheet, you should take into account that it goes on sale, being cut into 2x20 m rectangles.

Consumers who are engaged in construction on a professional basis are quite often interested in such a characteristic as compressive strength. In the case of the described membrane, this parameter is 280 kPa. You may also be interested in the maximum tensile force of the roll. This parameter is 280 N / 50 mm. Water absorption by mass should also be taken into account, which does not exceed 1%, but the relative elongation at break is 20% or even more.

Planter Standard - profiled membrane (2x20 m) is a material, the flexibility of which on a beam at a low temperature is 45°C. The beam radius during the test was 5 mm.

Additional features of the material and its cost

If you decide to purchase Planter Standard, then you will have to pay 108 rubles for 1 m 2 of this material. One roll contains 40 m 2 . If you use a profiled membrane in construction or for waterproofing, the space formed between the canvas and the wall will be freely ventilated, air will circulate inside, improving the temperature and humidity conditions inside the building.

The membrane has not only high mechanical strength, but also resistance to chemical aggressive environments. The material does not interact with bacteria and fungi that can actively multiply on the surface of the walls. Planter Standard profiled membrane can be laid without fear that its surface will be adversely affected by ultraviolet rays. The canvas can be laid vertically and horizontally, and the elements, if necessary, are interconnected along a specially provided flat edge.

Features of mounting a profiled membrane

The profiled membrane Planter Standard (the price of which is not so high and was indicated above) must be laid according to a certain technology. If necessary, damp walls are disinfected, and laying can be carried out both inside and outside the building. The walls of the room can be dried in this way. The installation of the material is carried out mechanically along the perimeter of the walls and floor. The membrane must be reinforced with metal dish-shaped concrete dowels. In the lower part of the room, a membrane should be fixed on top of it, which can be made of polymeric materials or metal. It is selected depending on what will be the subsequent coating.

Features of laying when protecting waterproofing

The Planter Standard profiled membrane, the laying technology of which is described in the article and will allow you to avoid mistakes, can be installed if it is necessary to protect the waterproofing layer. The latter is coated or pasted. If construction debris and backfill elements subsequently fall on the surface, the layer will not be damaged. As practice shows, the use of a membrane allows you to carry out work in a shorter time and reduce labor costs, thereby saving finances. The membrane is best used instead of brick pressure walls.

Installation is carried out at a speed of 4 m 2 per minute. It is necessary to lay the sheets with an overlap, the width of which is 4 ledges. Fixation should be carried out above the level of waterproofing using a metal strip or dish-shaped dowels for concrete.

Conclusion

Membrane can replace concrete preparation, which is true when the groundwater level is low. For this, a crushed stone litter is arranged on top of the groundwater, the thickness of which can be 10 cm. In this case, the membrane is located with protrusions down, and the longitudinal and transverse overlaps should be up to 10 cm.

The construction industry is one of the most widespread and progressive industries where various polymers and materials based on them are in demand. Today, there are a huge number of different materials for interior or exterior decoration, made on the basis of polyethylene or.

Recently, various building films and membranes have been in special demand - they protect the building from moisture, steam, prevent heat loss and are widely used due to their low cost and easy installation.

The profiled Planter membrane is a new material that has proven itself as an affordable and effective method of protecting concrete foundations, foundations and ceilings from the destructive action of moisture.

Main varieties

Profiled polyethylene membranes are widely used to protect the waterproofing layer of a structure and wall drainage. Their successfully large companies and individuals.

Planter film is a sheet made of high-strength polyethylene. The main feature is the presence of profiled convex protrusions with a thickness (height) of 8 millimeters. Due to the uneven surface, the film evenly distributes the load from the foundation and enables effective drainage in the inter-wall space. Additionally, due to its configuration, air can freely circulate between the membrane and the surface.

Four types of building membranes are produced under the Planter trademark:

• standard - the most common option due to the combination of its unique properties and affordable cost;
• geo - a two-layer membrane with a fabric coating. It is used not only to protect the foundation and the wall, but also the roof. It is an effective basis for drainage. The fabric layer absorbs excess moisture, which does not fall on heat and waterproofing, but simply flows off the waterproof polyethylene base;
• extra - the most expensive film. The price is due to the increased thickness of the material, its density and resistance to mechanical damage;
• eco - basic inexpensive membrane. Differs in low thickness and density. It attracts with its low cost. Most commonly used indoors.

Areas of use

The profiled membrane Planter Standard is used in the construction of residential buildings and private households. The main purpose of the material is to protect the waterproofing layer from mechanical, chemical and other types of destruction.

It is used not only as a protective coating for a waterproofing layer. Additionally, with the help of a film, the sanitation of damp walls inside and outside the building takes place. It perfectly replaces concrete preparation, protecting the base of the foundation from groundwater and significantly reduces construction time and costs for other work.

Due to its high mechanical strength, the roots of plants cannot penetrate through the membrane, thus the foundation and the insulating layer are not subjected to mechanical damage.

The use of a membrane film helps to stabilize the level of moisture by removing excess from the walls into the internal drainage system.

Main properties and characteristics

Among all varieties, Planter Standard has a number of features and unique properties that make this material one of the most common in the construction industry.

The key benefits are:

• high mechanical tensile and tear strength;
• simplicity and ease of installation. The film can be laid horizontally and vertically. If necessary, the edges of the membrane are sewn or overlapped with a small gap;
• the material is protected from moisture, ultraviolet radiation, aggressive chemicals;
• the profiled membrane is not a medium for the life and reproduction of bacteria;
• ecological purity. The material is made on modern equipment from high-density polyethylene, which does not emit substances harmful to humans - gases or carcinogens - into the atmosphere.

In addition, it is worth mentioning affordable cost of the membrane and its durability. Having laid it in front of the foundation, you can not worry about protecting the base of the structure for at least the next 50 years. Each roll has a width of 2 meters and a strip length of 20 meters.

Some installation features

The installation of the canvas is not a difficult job. Due to the low weight and convenient packaging in rolls, the installation of the material is carried out quickly and without the use of specialized equipment or tools.

The profiled membrane Planter Standard, the laying technology of which consists in rolling the web from a roll and fixing it in a certain way, has some installation features.

First of all, you need to decide on the correct side of the installation. The embossed surface with rounded protrusions must always face the foundation or waterproofing layer, and not vice versa. Due to the unevenness between the film and the surface, air will circulate freely, providing ventilation and additionally removing excess moisture.

Secondly, in order to increase the level of protection of the foundation from moisture with the help of a membrane, it is recommended to overlap it with a small gap, having previously glued the ends of the strips with bituminous mastic. The resulting homogeneous layer will be more airtight. The fastening of the strips is carried out with special dowels with a large metal washer.

When sanitizing wet walls outside the building, the film is mounted vertically over the entire area. Before additional surface finishing, a special plaster is fixed on the membrane. In the case of interior work, a mesh is used or plasterboard structures are fixed on metal profiles.

Brief summary

Planter protective membranes are a highly effective way to protect the foundation from groundwater and mechanical damage to the waterproofing. Due to the affordable price, profiling membranes have become alternative to concrete preparation when laying the foundation, allowing not only to significantly reduce construction time, but also save on consumables.

Ease of installation makes it possible to quickly lay tapes on any surface. Due to its technical characteristics and unique relief structure, the membrane evenly distributes the load and does not lose its properties for 50 years or more.
