Verified by manufacturer 3 days ago
Sheetseal GR is a cold applied self-adhesive gas and waterproof membrane, with a high density polyethylene film bonded to aluminium foil and coated with a bitumen/rubber self adhesive layer.
Application
- Where protection against ground gas is required
- Basement tanking (internal and external).
- Retaining walls.
- Ground floor DPM.
Description
A cold applied, high density polyethylene film bonded to aluminium foil and coated with a bitumen and rubber self-adhesive layer with a removable reinforced silicone release paper. The product is typically used to reduce the passage of methane and carbon dioxide gasses on contaminated sites. The membrane must always be covered.
Sheetseal GR protects the structure against methane, carbon dioxide and radon from the ground. In addition, Sheetseal GR provides a water and water vapour barrier. When designing a Type A (barrier) protection (as classified in BS 8102:2022), the product applied correctly is capable of providing the levels of protection required for grades 1a, 1b 2 & 3 basements.
Features and benefits:
- Methane and carbon dioxide barrier.
- Water and water vapour barrier.
- Factory controlled thickness.
- Elastic and flexible.
- Damage easily repaired.
- No drying time.
- Selvedge strip to improve lap sealing.
Joint laps:
Side and end laps minimum 150 mm are recommended.
