Advantages of ODE Granat
High Mechanical Strength
The polyester reinforcement provides excellent resistance against tensile stress, tearing, punctures, and mechanical damage.
UV Resistance
Mineral-coated versions offer additional protection against ultraviolet radiation and prolonged sun exposure.
Heavy-Duty Performance
Ideal for industrial roofs, terraces, foundations, and other areas exposed to heavy loads and demanding environmental conditions.
Multiple Thickness and Surface Options
Available with polyethylene film or mineral granule finishes, allowing designers and contractors to select the most suitable solution for each project.
Installation Process
1. Surface Preparation
The substrate should be clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, and loose particles. A suitable bitumen primer should be applied before installation.
2. Membrane Positioning
Membrane rolls are unrolled and aligned correctly across the application surface.
3. Torch Application
The underside of the membrane is heated with a propane torch until full adhesion is achieved.
4. Overlap Sealing
Adjacent membrane sheets should overlap by approximately 10 cm to create a watertight seal.
5. Protective Layer
Where required, a protective concrete screed or compatible protective layer can be installed above the waterproofing membrane.
