VERSIDRAIN 6

VersiDrain® 6P is a lightweight plastic drainage sheet that is positioned between the structural slab and topping screed. VersiDrain® 6P acts as a separation layer between the cement and sand screed with the tiles on top from the fl oor slab and creates a drainage and ventilation cavity that allows entrapped water in the screed to escape via drainage channels and perforations in the sheet and be drained away. Water and dissolved salts in the screed are thus prevented from accumulating beneath the tiles and contributing to pressure build-up and eventual surface cracks or from migrating upward, via capillary action, to the surface to form effl orescence. When laid on waterproofing membranes, VersiDrain 6P also provides protection against damage caused by on-site labour and heavy equipment. Applications Typical areas of application include: • Balconies, terraces and podium decks • Swimming pool decks and patios • Shower areas, changing and wash rooms Advantages • Effective drainage under screed • Minimises effl orescence • Reduces surface cracking • Protect waterproofi ng membrane • Easy to handle and install • Snap-on interlocking modules reduce waste due to overlapping • Root resistant and rot-proof • Resistant to salts, inorganic acids and ground chemicals
