durajoint PVC waterstops
Range of externally and centrally placed waterstops
DESCRIPTION
The durajoint waterstop range is
extruded from specially formulated
pvc material, which whilst flexible is
easily welded on site to provide the
primary seal in the waterproofing, for
water retaining and/or excluding
structures.
USES
The prevention of regress or ingress
of water or liquids through
construction or expansion joints in
water retaining or excluding
structures such as:
* Dams, reservoirs, digesters, water
towers, canals
* Basements, car parks, retaining
walls
BENEFITS
Co-ordinated profiles
ƒ Ensures bulb continuity throughout
the network
ƒ Making onsite jointing simpler
ƒ Allows for jointing of external to
centrally placed sections
ƒ Allows for jointing of expansion joint
section to construction joint section
ƒ Flat top to centre bulb ensures
snug fit of filler board
