Platinum CV20 Cavity Drain Floor Membrane

Platinum CV20 is a Cavity Drain Waterproofing Membrane made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).

With its 20mm deep stud profile, Platinum CV20 is used as a high drainage capacity floor membrane and is generally specified where it is anticipated that there may be a risk of severe water penetration.

Platinum CV20 is guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years, with a life expectancy of at least the design life of the building (DIN 9001:2000).

Platinum CV20 is inert and, therefore, non-polluting to drinking water, highly resistant to water, alkalies, saline solutions and organic acids, and not affected by minerals and hydro-carbons. It is also impervious to root penetration, is rot-proof, and resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms.

Benefits & Features:

  • Part of a Type C Cavity Drain Membrane System in Line With BS8102:2009

  • Gives a High Water Void Volume of 14 Litres/m²

  • Quick to Install - Easy to Roll Out Along Floors

  • Creates a Dry, Habitable Living Space in Areas Previously Suffering From Damp / Wet Conditions

  • Easily Cut Down Using a Sharp Blade

  • Waterproof, Salt Inhibiting, Root and Contaminate Resistant

  • Little or No Damage to the Existing Structure

  • Low and High Temperature Tolerance

  • High Grade Material

Preparation:

Platinum CV20 should only be used on floors. Before the system is installed, the area must be assessed to determine what preparation is required:

All timber and other organic material must be removed to prevent risk of fungal or bacterial growth behind the System. If evidence of rot exists, this must be dealt with by a specialist contractor prior to installation of the system (See our Woodworm & Dry Rot Control Products).

Brush the floor clean and remove any sharp protrusions. Fill all non-structural cracks above 1mm wide, all structural cracks should be repaired or treated.

New concrete should be treated with Wykamol Anti Lime Sealer which prevents free lime from the curing concrete being drawn out by ingressing water.

Drainage Requirements

When used in a full or part earth-retaining situation, the membrane system must be drained. To comply with BS 8102:2009, you must assume that the structure will be subjected to water ingress at some time.

Methods Of Drainage:

The drainage must effectively remove all water from below the membrane and take the water to a point of discharge such as a Sump Chamber or a form of safe natural drainage. Standing water can block the membrane with silt or lime scale so it is important for water to flow uninterrupted to the drainage point.

Basement Drainage Channel

Platinum Chemicals supply a range of Basement Channel Systems which include Newton Basedrain, Platon Aqua Channel and Wykamol Waterguard.

The Channel System is placed at the wall / floor junction and collects water from behind the wall membrane and receives water at the wall / floor junction. It is a designed method of removing water as it can interface with sump chambers, gullies, waste pipes etc.

It can also be maintainable by inserting Jetting Eyes / Rodding Eyes into the system. 

Installation Method:

It is very rare for water to pass through a solid concrete slab or concrete raft, but where the slab or raft is of questionable quality it is possible for water to pass through cracks in a poorly constructed floor. If the quality of the slab is questionable, Platinum CV20 should be used as the floor membrane.

Starting at one side of the room, unroll the membrane with the studs down and cut to fit the room as one would a carpet. The next membrane width is rolled out so that the flanged edge overlaps onto the edge of the previous roll of membrane. Clean both edges.

Platinum Waterseal Tape is then applied to the high flat area between the first two studs at the edge of the previous roll of membrane with the backing paper still intact.

Check the two widths for alignment, with the flange covering the backing paper.

Starting from the end of the joint, remove the backing paper and press down on the joint sealing the two sections together. This process is repeated until all areas are covered. Seal the Platinum CV20 Membrane to the up-stand of the Perimeter Drainage Channel with Platinum Corner Strip / Overtape.

Where the floor membrane is required to be jointed to horizontal DPC’s through internal and external walls, these joints should be sealed with Platinum Waterseal Tape. Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry before attempting to make these joints.

If there are any services up through the floor, the membrane can be cut and trimmed around them, and the gap filled and sealed using a high quality MS or SMX Polymer Adhesive.

If necessary, a patch of membrane or Plain DPC is laid over and sealed to the service with Platinum Waterseal Rope, and around its perimeter with Platinum Waterseal Tape.

It should be noted that protrusions through the floor slab/raft should be avoided wherever possible as they create weaknesses that allow unnecessary water ingress.

The specified floor finish can now be laid directly over the floor membrane, which must not be punctured by any fixings through the floor. When a timber floor finish is preferred you must allow an expansion gap around the wall edge.

Speak to the supplier of the floor finish to confirm the correct size of this expansion gap.
