Architects ond Engineers who would specly waterproofing systems for basement walls and floors often leave out the damp proofing of horizontal con erate slab on the ground end may unknowingly ‘ccopt sub-standard shesting's offered by suppliers to builders who are ever willing to use cheoper prod Ucts in their projects without consideration for mate Fial quality and effective functionality Damp proofing membranes have to lost the life ofthe structure and itis really not conceivable for manufacturers to use recycled grenules to manufac {ure Damp proofing membranes. This is @ prevailing obsession with third world country manufacturers who do not understand the intricate knowledge of Fising damp in relation 4o product usoge.
