Typical: ST/Black/1.2mm

  • Any type of Sintofoil membrane is also acceptable, depending on the specific situation.
  • Horizontal area: install loose, with overlap and welded seam as per specifications.^
  • Vertical area: weld to sheet laminated metal strips mechanically secured to the substrate.
  • Termination: mechanically secure the membrane by welding to a sheet laminated metal reglet.
  • For potable water reservoirs, make sure to use the GW (blue) membrane.
