For that reason, a typical fixing rate is around 15 plugs per m², helping keep the membrane firm, flat and properly restrained against the substrate. Because these plugs do not include sealing washers, the installer must consider whether the fixing detail needs additional sealing.

The plug is then inserted through the membrane and driven home with a club hammer until it secures the membrane firmly against the wall. The substrate must be sound enough to accept and hold the 75mm fixing, otherwise the plug may not grip properly. Because this version does not include a TPE washer, it should not be assumed to seal the fixing point. Where water resistance is needed, the fixing should be sealed separately using the correct Platon sealing method, such as \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/platon-membrane-sealing-rope\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaton Sealing Rope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/platon-brick-plug-seals\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaton Brick Plug Sealing Washers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, depending on the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) When should Platon Sealing Rope be used with these plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/platon-membrane-sealing-rope\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaton Sealing Rope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e should be used when the plug fixing point needs to be sealed separately because the plug itself is supplied without a washer. \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/platon-membrane-sealing-rope\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaton Sealing Rope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is typically relevant where a sealed detail is required but an integral washer is not being used. The rope particularly useful in below-ground situations involving vaulted ceilings, brick arches, sloping soffits or other overhead and inclined surfaces, where a flat washer may not compress evenly against the membrane. The purpose is to seal around the penetration so the fixing does not become a weak point in the waterproofing system.

This approach allows the installer to fix the membrane securely while adapting the seal to the shape of the surface. Care is still needed around every fixing point, because vaulted and overhead installations can be more complex than flat wall work. The membrane must be fixed neatly, kept tight and detailed so water can drain correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How many Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals are needed per m²?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The number of Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals required depends mainly on the type of membrane being installed and the finish that will follow.

These figures are practical guidance rather than a substitute for project design. Substrate condition, corners, reveals, wall shape, movement, finishing method and whether a separate sealing detail is required can all affect the final fixing pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Can battens and dry-lining systems be fixed into Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Yes, one of the key advantages of Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals is that they accept 5mm size 10 threaded screws through the centre of the plug, to a maximum depth of 30mm into the plug body. This allows timber battens, ply board, tracking, wall ties and suitable dry-lining systems to be fixed through the plug without drilling extra holes through the membrane. Typical batten sizes may include 25mm x 38mm or 25mm x 50mm, depending on the lining system and support requirements. To work out screw length, add the batten thickness to the required screw embedment into the plug, making sure the screw does not enter the plug by more than 30mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What substrates can Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals be fixed into?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals are designed for fixing into suitable masonry substrates, including brickwork, concrete, stone and other stable retaining structures capable of holding a 10mm x 75mm mechanical fixing. The background must be sound, firm and able to resist the fixing load, otherwise the plug may loosen or fail to grip properly. Very friable brickwork, crumbling mortar, loose stone, hollow areas or unstable substrates should be assessed and repaired before installation. When working on older cellars, basements or mixed masonry walls, it is especially important to check the substrate condition before drilling. If the drilled hole breaks out or does not hold the plug securely, a new fixing position may be required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What are the main limitations of Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The main limitation of Platon Brick Plugs Without Seals is that they do not form a watertight seal at the fixing point by themselves.
