Paying attention to waterproofing products which offer protection in event of fire is not the norm. We hardly think of water management and fire in the same thought. However, the benefits of doing so are not quite as crazy as it sounds, Delta explains…
The demand for sustainable, cost efficient building methods and materials is increasing, as is the demand for safer building materials. The waterproofing sector should support the goal of creating healthy and safe living environments throughout the lifecycle of products.
There are many different design challenges to encounter when designing a suitable, maintainable and capable waterproofing system. From existing basements to multi-level basements – basements which will encompass high water tables at some stage during their service life.
With Delta MS 500 Fire Retardant membrane, it is now possible to specify a Type C Cavity Drainage Membrane that offers not only protection from water or vapour ingress but also protection in the event of fire.
The Delta Fire Retardant range features DELTASAFE, a new innovative fire-retardant property. This enables Delta’s MS 500 membrane to achieve a Euroclass rating of B-S2, d0 in accordance with EN 13501-1:2018.
This means it is now possible to specify a Type C Cavity Drainage Membrane that meets building requirements of today, but also that of tomorrow, without having to radically alter specifications.
A Type C Cavity Drainage System is a maintainable basement waterproofing solution suitable for new-build basements, refurbishment and retrofit projects. The Type C System comprises of a Cavity Drain Membrane, Drainage system, Submersible Package Pump and Control System. This system combats water ingress and can be used to habitable grades 1-3 in according to BS 8102:2009.
The Delta Fire Retardant Type C Cavity Drainage System is the safest form of waterproofing system available. It offers complete protection from water or water vapour and fire retardant protection.
Delta’s Design and Build Philosophy is quality driven, working with architects and trades alike, putting at the forefront construction considerations to ensure buildability, functionality, and maintainability. The result of this single approach is a consistent, complete, and quality design that is hard to equal.
