| WHAT IS PLYLOAD?
Plyload is a bitumen free polymeric damp proof course using
the most recent advances in polymer technology. The advantages
of Plyload are that it is Agrément Certified, contains
no pitch, is flexible at low temperatures, is resistant to
ageing and shrinkage, and can withstand high superimposed
loads.
21st CENTURY TECHNOLOGY
Traditional damp proof courses were made from textiles with
bitumen or pitch, these suffered from creep under heavy load
and therefore had limited lifespans. These were superceded
by high performance calendered sheet rubber products which
overcame this problem but were high priced. Alternatively
cheap polythene products were used in lower specification
applications despite the very low strength of the mortar/polythene
bond. Plyload is a high performance thermoplastic polymeric
product that outperforms traditional products with zero creep,
that is much more competitive than calendered sheet rubber
products, and the mortar/plyload bond achieved is stronger
than the mortar/brick bond achieved.
