If the <strong>vertical foundation insulation<\/strong> is not properly protected, <strong>capillary moisture rise<\/strong> can occur in the lower part of the foundation or basement. <strong>Bituminous waterproofing<\/strong> requires strong <strong>protection against mechanical damage<\/strong>. <strong>Dimpled membrane<\/strong> is an excellent solution for this purpose. However, for it to work effectively, it must be <strong>installed correctly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Properties and Applications of Dimpled Membrane<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Application:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Dimpled membrane is <strong>primarily used for protection<\/strong>. Its installation <strong>prevents compression and abrasion<\/strong> of the insulation while also protecting it from <strong>soil pressure<\/strong>. This is particularly important when <strong>foundation waterproofing is backfilled with soil<\/strong>. The membrane also <strong>prevents displacement<\/strong> of the waterproofing system components during building settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>unique dimples<\/strong> on the membrane enable <strong>faster drying<\/strong> of vertical foundation insulation. This is due to <strong>efficient air circulation<\/strong> between the dimples. The <strong>gap<\/strong> between the membrane and the insulation allows <strong>moisture to be effectively drained<\/strong> from vertical surfaces. This creates an <strong>additional barrier against moisture<\/strong> coming from the soil.<\/p>\n<p>Dimpled membrane <strong>maintains optimal air circulation<\/strong>, even when <strong>groundwater pressure<\/strong> is applied from the other side. While it <strong>cannot serve as the sole protection against moisture<\/strong>, it is a highly effective <strong>supporting layer<\/strong> for waterproofing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dimpled membranes with geotextile layers<\/strong> have a slightly different application\u2014these are <strong>installed with the dimples facing outward<\/strong>. To properly <strong>drain moisture into the perimeter drainage system<\/strong>, the prepared trench should be <strong>backfilled with gravel of larger granulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Types of Dimpled Membranes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are different <strong>products available for waterproofing<\/strong>, and dimpled membranes come in <strong>three main types<\/strong>, distinguished mainly by the <strong>reinforcement material<\/strong> used.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Glass-Fiber Reinforced Dimpled Membrane<\/strong> \u2013 Offers <strong>high mechanical resistance<\/strong> and works well for <strong>moisture-proofing internal basement walls<\/strong>. However, this is a <strong>costly solution<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Geotextile Dimpled Membrane<\/strong> \u2013 Designed for <strong>moisture drainage<\/strong>, primarily used to <strong>enhance the efficiency of perimeter drainage systems<\/strong> around foundations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standard Dimpled Membrane<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>The most common and economical option<\/strong>, without additional layers or reinforcements. It serves as <strong>extra protection for foundations<\/strong>, prevents <strong>mechanical damage<\/strong>, and <strong>improves air circulation and moisture drainage<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":280346,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[873],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-277931","knowledgebase","type-knowledgebase","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knowledge-base"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/277931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/knowledgebase"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/277931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sanier.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
