impact of its building and renovating projects. This is certainly true of the conversion of an old engineering unit into a luxury two double bedroom eco holiday rental being built in the Norfolk countryside. The property, owned and managed by Emma and Neil Punchard, will be finished to the exacting standards of their other Eco Barn and Hay Barn holiday lets. “We always specify West Fraser products

as they are easy to use and are produced with the environment in mind. We used CaberShieldPlus on the first floor as we didn’t need to worry about leaving it exposed while we were building. The non- slip textured finish is not only safe; as the waterproof coating is permanent, it means there’s no plastic to throw away!” said James Carter, Director of Blue Sky Property Services.

CaberShieldPlus is specially designed to withstand exposure to wet conditions. It has protection on both sides, not just the exposed upper surface. The top surface features a permanent non-slip coating that not only prevents damage to the board but also ensures a safe working platform. The underside is protected with the smooth coating that not only protects against damage but also makes the board easy to slide into position. For added durability, the coating applied to CaberShieldPlus is not designed to be peeled

Triton launches pre-applied waterproofing system for concrete structures
T
he new Triton Shield System is a reliable form of pre-applied, Type A barrier waterproofing, which provides
a flexible approach to specifying a system requiring two different types of waterproofing protection – as defined in BS 8102 (2009). Use the new Triton Shield System in conjunction with concrete made waterproof by the addition of Triton TT Admix (Type B integral waterproofing) or, alternatively, in conjunction with a sealed cavity drain membrane system (Type C drained waterproofing). Triton’s new Shield System comprises a pre-applied, fully bonded, waterproofing (Type A) barrier membrane for use on the outside of a poured concrete structure – such as a basement slab and retaining walls – and a Stretch Tape that makes easy work of sealing around curved or irregular profiles due to its unique stretchability and flexibility. A key benefit when specifying the new Triton
Shield System is the Triton team’s technical knowledge of all three types of waterproofing system and their extensive practical experience of choosing the right combination of systems for the expected usage of any basement or below ground structure. The mesh-faced, HDPE Triton Shield Membrane offers a tenacious grip to the concrete poured on top of it. The 2 m x 20 m membrane rolls are light enough to be carried by two people but are still larger than many competitive product rolls. This means fewer side lap or end to end joints will be required with a resulting reduction in the risk of defects occurring. New Triton Shield System offers a
cost effective, fast to install, very lightweight and durable solution for concrete waterproofing – contact the Triton team for further advice and project-specific details drawings, or download the data sheet found on Triton’s website.
