Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers
Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers are clear Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) washers designed to create a watertight seal around Platon Plaster Plug fixing points during the installation of Platon damp proof membranes.
They are primarily used with Platon Plaster Plugs when securing Platon damp proofing membranes to internal masonry walls, helping reduce the risk of water or moisture tracking through the plug penetration.
Each washer is sized to fit around the Platon Plaster Plug head, compressing against the membrane as the plug is driven into the substrate. They provide a practical alternative to Platon Sealing Rope and Newtonite 801 Mastic in situations where a clean, washer-based sealing detail is preferred. Supplied in convenient packs of 100, 50 and 25.

Key Fetures of Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers
✔️ Clear TPE sealing washers designed to create a watertight seal at Platon Plaster Plug fixing points.
✔️ Compresses between plug head and membrane face as the plug is driven home during installation.
✔️ Helps prevent moisture tracking through fixing penetrations, supporting the integrity of the damp proofing system.
✔️ Practical alternative to Platon Sealing Rope and Newtonite 801 Mastic where a washer seal is preferred.
✔️ Useful in higher-risk damp areas where unsealed plug fixings may allow moisture transfer through the membrane.
TPE Sealing Washers For Moisture Protection At Platon Membrane Fixing Points
Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers have been designed for use in damp proof membrane installations where fixing points require additional moisture protection to maintain the integrity of the overall system. When a Platon damp proofing membrane is mechanically fixed to a wall, each drilled fixing hole creates a potential route for moisture to pass through if the fixing point is left unsealed. These clear TPE washers are fitted with the Platon Plaster Plug so that, once the plug is driven into position, the washer compresses tightly between the plug head and the membrane surface, helping to create a reliable watertight seal around each fixing point and actively supporting the long-term performance of the damp proofing installation as a whole.
Flexible Thermoplastic Elastomer Construction For A Consistent Compression Seal
The washers are manufactured from high-quality Thermoplastic Elastomer, a flexible and compressible material well suited to sealing applications where consistent contact between the washer and the substrate is important. Their profile has been shaped to sit snugly around the contour of the Platon Plaster Plug head, allowing the washer to bed neatly and evenly against the membrane surface when the plug is fixed into the wall behind. This makes them genuinely useful in applications where the wall is visibly affected by damp, where the internal finish needs to be protected from moisture transfer at fixing points, or where the installer requires a more controlled and repeatable sealing method than mastic or rope sealant provides around every individual fixing penetration throughout the installation.
Practical Sealing Accessory For Higher-Risk Damp Proof Membrane Installations
Installation is straightforward. After the hole has been drilled through the membrane and into the substrate, the Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washer is placed onto the plug before the fixing is installed. As the plug is driven home, the washer compresses against the membrane and forms a sealed barrier around the plug head. This makes it especially useful when fixing Platon damp proof membranes in higher-risk areas where an unsealed fixing may allow moisture to track through the plug hole. The result is a cleaner, more consistent sealing detail that helps maintain the integrity of the damp proof membrane system.

Watertight Seal Around Fixing Points: Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers help reduce the risk of water or moisture passing through drilled plug holes by compressing around the plug head and forming a sealed barrier against the membrane surface.
-
Designed for Platon Plaster Plugs: Each washer is sized to accept Platon Plaster Plugs, helping ensure the washer sits correctly around the fixing head and forms a neat seal when the plug is hammered into position.
-
Clear TPE Construction: Manufactured from high-quality Thermoplastic Elastomer, the washers provide the flexibility and compression needed to bed closely against the membrane, without making the installation process overly complicated.
-
Alternative to Rope or Mastic Sealing: The washers provide a practical alternative to Platon Sealing Rope and Newtonite 801 Mastic in situations where a cleaner, faster and more consistent washer-based seal is preferred around plug fixings.
Typical Applications
-
Platon Damp Proof Membrane Installation: Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers are used with Platon Plaster Plugs when securing damp proof membranes to internal walls, helping seal the fixing points as part of the membrane installation.
-
Higher Risk Damp Wall Areas: Well suited to walls where moisture levels are more of a concern, and where the installer wants to reduce the chance of damp tracking through plug holes into the internal finish.
-
Internal Refurbishment and Damp Proofing Work: Useful in renovation projects where damp proof membranes are installed before plaster, render or dry-lining finishes, and where sealed plug fixings are required for a more secure and reliable detail.
Q) What are Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers used for?
A) Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers are used to create a watertight seal around Platon Plaster Plug fixing points when installing Platon damp proof membranes to internal masonry walls. When a membrane is drilled and fixed to a wall, each fixing hole can become a potential route for moisture movement if it is left unsealed. These clear Thermoplastic Elastomer washers compress between the plug head and the membrane face as the plug is driven home, helping reduce the risk of damp or water tracking through the penetration. They are especially useful where a cleaner, more consistent washer-based sealing detail is preferred over Platon Sealing Rope or Newtonite 801 Mastic.
Q) How do Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers work?
A) Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers work by compression. The washer is placed onto the Platon Plaster Plug before the plug is installed through the membrane and into the drilled substrate. As the plug is hammered into position, the washer is squeezed tightly between the plug head and the membrane surface. This creates a sealed barrier around the fixing point, helping prevent moisture from travelling through the drilled hole and affecting the internal finish. For the seal to work properly, the plug needs to be installed firmly, the fixing hole should be correctly sized, and the washer should sit neatly around the plug head without folding, twisting or being displaced.
Q) When should Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers be used?
A) Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers should be used when Platon Plaster Plug fixing points need extra moisture protection. They are particularly useful in higher-risk damp wall areas, where the existing masonry contains more moisture or salts and where the installer wants to reduce the chance of damp tracking through the membrane fixing points. They are also useful on refurbishment projects where the final plaster, render or dry-lined finish needs better protection from moisture movement behind the membrane. In lower-risk above-ground applications, unsealed fixings may be acceptable depending on the system design, but where moisture protection around each plug is important, these washers provide a simple and repeatable sealing method.
Q) Are Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers suitable for Platon damp proof membranes?
A) Yes, Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers are designed for use with Platon Plaster Plugs when securing Platon damp proofing membranes to internal masonry walls. They are well suited to membrane installations where the fixing points need to be sealed as part of the damp proofing detail. The clear TPE washer sits around the plug head and compresses against the membrane surface during installation, helping maintain the integrity of the membrane layer. This is useful where Platon damp proof membranes are being fitted before plaster, render or dry-lining finishes, particularly in areas where dampness is more severe or where the installer wants a more controlled fixing seal.
Q) Are Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers an alternative to Platon Sealing Rope or Newtonite 801 Mastic?
A) Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers can be used as a practical alternative to Platon Sealing Rope and Newtonite 801 Mastic in situations where a washer-based fixing seal is preferred. They are especially useful where the installer wants a cleaner and more consistent method for sealing repeated plug fixings across a membrane installation. Instead of applying mastic or rope sealant around every fixing point, the washer is fitted to the plug and compresses automatically when the plug is driven into the wall. However, Platon Sealing Rope or Newtonite 801 Mastic may still be preferred for awkward details, irregular surfaces or situations where the washer cannot compress evenly against the membrane.
Q) What are the limitations of Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers?
A) Platon Plaster Plug Sealing Washers are designed to improve sealing around compatible Platon Plaster Plug fixing points, but they are not a substitute for correct membrane installation or proper damp proofing design. The washer must be fitted correctly, compressed evenly and used with the correct plug for the seal to work as intended. If the drilled hole is too large, the substrate is weak, the plug does not grip properly, or the washer is damaged during installation, the seal may be less reliable. They should also be used only where a washer-based fixing seal is appropriate. For complex, irregular or below-ground details, Platon Sealing Rope may be more suitable depending on the specification.
