WATERPROOFING AN INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS FOUNDATIONS

NUDURA® Damproofing/Waterproofing Membrane is a self adhesive peel and stick membrane designed for below grade damproofing and waterproofing applications when finishing the Insulated Concrete Form Foundation. It is composed of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen and a polyethylene woven complex. This surface provides 100% protection from UV radiation. A silicone release paper protects the adhesive side of the membrane before installation on to the Insulated Concrete Forms foundations. Building codes require damproofing/waterproofing be installed on insulated concrete form foundations when the interior floor level is below the exterior grade level. NUDURA offers a peel and stick membrane that satisfies the code requirements and offers a warranty against manufacturers defects.

NUDURA offers three different application scenarios depending upon the code Requirements for insulated concrete form foundations and individuals preference.

The three scenarios for insulated Concrete Forms Foundations include:

1. Membrane applied directly to the face of the insulated concrete form wall
2. Membrane with 6”-12” (152mm-305mm) liquid applied primer at the grade line and footing junctions of the
    insulated concrete form foundation
3. Liquid applied primer and membrane over the entire wall These three methods have been extensively tested
    and found to perform extremely well on the EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam

For detailed instructions on the installation of our Damproof/Waterproof membrane visit our Tech Centre where you can find Technical Bulletins created for the Installation on to our Insulated concrete form foundations. NUDURA also has a variety of tools to help you get up to speed on the building process with NUDURA. Our Installation Manual, Installation DVD are provided you to in a one day training course which provides the necessary information for you to get your building project completed with confidence.
