(In Canada, all foundations are considered “dampproofed” unless stamped, engineered drawings declare the foundation “waterproofed” – necessary only if the water table is higher than the footings).
US Approvals
In the US, we have received confirmation from ICC Evaluation Service, Inc.
(ICC-ES), that Platon complies with the provisions of the 2006 International
Building Code (IBC) and the 2006 International Residential Code (IRC). This
confirmation, as evidence in ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-2767, provides
guidance to code officials faced with approving the use of Platon under
these codes.
PLATON - DON'T BUILD WITHOUT IT! Platon is manufactured in Armtec's plant from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the same material used in corrugated plastic drain pipe, one of the toughest and longest lasting plastics. Platon provides a permanent water and moisture barrier.
