Triton Systems tank waterproof behemoth basement near Birmingham
The creation of a basement complex that has taken a year to construct and which extends beneath an access road to link the main property with a separate building, is making use of multiple waterproofi ng products from the range of Triton Systems. The 900 m2 across main house tunnel and adjacent house reinforced concrete sub-structure to what will be a six-bedroom private residence, with amenities including a swimming pool and gym, has been excavated and formed by Leicester based Beautiful Basements, in a contract valued at £800K. As well as using Triton’s formable rubber Adcor and CEMfl ex steel waterbar products to provide continuity between the multiple sections, all of the ready mixed concrete supplied to the site by Flomix Concrete also incorporates Triton’s TT waterproofi ng admixture. The Managing Director of Beautiful Basements, Andy Parkes, commented: “This has been a long and complex contract but it is progressing well. We always use the Triton membranes and perimeter channels as our go-to solution for these sorts of contracts, as we have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with the company going back more than a decade.”

Basements_DPR.indd 1 Wraptite® airtightness for new self-build house
A self-build house in County Monaghan, Ireland, has been built incorporating the high-performing Wraptite air-barrier from the A. Proctor Group. The project, designed by McGuigan Architects, Monaghan, consists of a 250 m2 detached private residence developed by Mark Skinnader. The client, Mark Skinnader, explains: “In the early stages of the project, the A. Proctor Group technical representative visited the site to identify a suitable airtight system. As there is no cavity in the proposed wall build-up, we chose the Wraptite breather membrane to act as a vapour permeable and airtight barrier at the sheathing board layer.” The house design is a load-bearing Lightweight Steel Frame Construction. The steel frame system’s exterior fi nish is formed of a 12 mm Y-Wall Sheathing Board, the Wraptite Airtight Breather Membrane, and a 150 mm Sto EPS Insulated Render System. The U-Value and condensation risk calculations carried out by the A. Proctor Group on the proposed through wall build-up confi rmed no risk of condensation. The membrane provided both a damage resistant air barrier layer and effective secondary weather protection in one installation process.
