Overview
Where an alternative to a self-finished waterproofing and surfacing system is required, for example paving slabs, tiles, timber decking or artificial grass it is essential that the highest quality waterproofing system is used beneath.
The BBA and ETA certified Triflex ProTerra Buried system is the perfect answer, offering reliable, long term waterproofing that can be used in conjunction with a wide range of both loose laid and fully bonded overlay solutions. The system is ultra-fast curing and cold liquid applied, allowing installation to be completed quickly, without the use of hot works, and with minimal impact on users. Triflex ProTerra Buried is available in both a standard and a heavy-duty variant, so whatever the covering, we can provide a solution that lasts.
System highlights
Dynamic crack bridging, fully reinforced, cold applied system
Triflex lead from the front. Featuring an ETA certified waterproofing membrane with unique resins with enhanced elastomeric properties and high tensile strength reinforcement, Triflex ProTerra Buried delivers a totally waterproof solution that can accommodate movement and cracking within the structure. There is no risk from hot works during installation as all Triflex materials are applied in a totally cold liquid form, curing to create a waterproofing membrane solution that lasts.
Fast curing with rapid installation
Rapid curing and easy to install, Triflex systems allow buildings to remain fully occupied during installation, limiting access restrictions and unnecessary disruptions to everyday life.
Tough and durable protection
Triflex ProTerra Buried is designed for use beneath coverings and in inverted and buried build-ups, easily withstanding the permanent loads created from the overburden. The durable system is unaffected by ponding water, can be overlaid with cementitious materials, and is resistant to chlorides (salts), carbon dioxide ingress, and approved de-icing and cleaning products. Protection that's built to last, with a low lifecycle cost.
Asphalt overlay
Many balconies, walkways and terraces have historically been waterproofed using asphalt which over time will fail. Triflex has more than 30 years’ experience of asphalt overlay in the UK and Triflex ProTerra Buried is the ideal solution for directly overlaying failing asphalt where a buried or inverted build-up is required. In fact, whatever the substrate, we can provide a quick, easy and reliable overlay solution.
Safety and environmental
Our solvent and isocyanate free resin technology has been assessed under BREEAM principles and can contribute to A+ ratings.
Versatile design
Triflex ProTerra Buried is available in a standard and high duty variant. Create your perfect design by choosing from a wide range of overlay options such as tiles, paving, decking, cushion surfaces, artificial grass, cementitious overlay and much more.
