IKO Plasdrain drainage mats are manufactured from a three-dimensional polymer core with a geotextile filter fabric bonded to one side.
This creates a highly effective drainage void whilst the geotextile filter fabric prevents penetration of the drain by unwanted small fines, such as sand, soil, etc, which can cause blockages.
The impermeable core prevents water pressure from building against the structure being protected.
IKO Plasdrain drainage mats actively reduce the hydrostatic pressure acting upon a waterproofing system by exhibiting higher flow rates than that of mineral drainage systems.
Key benefits to your project
Exhibits higher flow rates than that of mineral drainage systems without clogging from small fines.
Contributes to IKO Hyload tanking performance, reducing the effects of hydrostatic pressure acting upon the structure.
Cost effective when compared to imported mineral drainage material to site.
Ease of installation – less labour intensive, as the product exhibits high strength to weight.
Offers resistance to most acids, alkalis, oils, fuels, chlorides and sulphate encountered within the soil.
