When it comes to effective waterproofing, durability, and long-lasting protection, Clever Shield’s CM8 and CM20 geotextile membranes stand out as superior solutions for construction, landscaping, and roofing. These membranes offer dual-layered protection, combining Wykamol’s high-performance CM8 studded membrane with advanced geotextile materials. Whether for a green roof, basement waterproofing, or as a radon barrier, these membranes are designed to meet the highest standards of strength, versatility, and environmental protection.
What Makes CM8 and CM20 Geotextile Membranes Unique?
Clever Shield's CM8 and CM20 membranes are built for performance. Let’s break down what makes each product exceptional and how they contribute to sustainable, secure construction projects.
CM8 Geotextile Membrane: Dual-Layered Protection
The CM8 Geotextile Membrane consists of two layers, both working in tandem to provide superior waterproofing and protection.
-
CM8 8mm Studded HDPE Membrane:
- The core component of the system is Wykamol's CM8 8mm studded HDPE (high-density polyethylene) membrane. This durable layer forms an essential barrier, providing waterproofing and protecting against moisture ingress, making it ideal for basements, foundations, and underground structures.
-
Nonwoven Geotextile Layer:
- The nonwoven geotextile fabric is made from UV-stabilized, high-tenacity virgin polypropylene fibres, which are mechanically entangled to offer high strength and extensibility. This layer adds loft, making it more resistant to wear, pressure, and abrasion while also delivering flexibility and maintaining excellent mechanical properties.
- Thermal treatment reduces the geotextile’s thickness without compromising its strength, ensuring a lightweight yet resilient solution for demanding applications.
Together, these layers make CM8 a versatile choice for waterproofing projects, with outstanding durability, flexibility, and ease of installation.
Ideal for Green Roofs
One of the standout applications for CM8 is its use in green roofing. With the rise of eco-friendly building practices, green roofs have become an increasingly popular option for urban sustainability. A green roof can range from simple, lightweight systems like rolled-out green carpets, to more complex roof gardens featuring planting beds and containers filled with soil or compost.
CM8 provides an excellent base for these installations, offering robust protection against water penetration and ensuring the roof remains structurally sound. Its ability to handle moisture while also promoting drainage makes it ideal for supporting plant growth, ensuring your green roof thrives.
CM20 Geotextile Membrane: The Radon Barrier Solution
While CM8 excels in waterproofing and green roof applications, Clever Shield’s CM20 Geotextile Membrane brings added benefits. CM20 is also an outstanding radon barrier, tested and proven to resist this hazardous gas, which can infiltrate homes and buildings through the soil.
With radon being a serious health concern in many areas, having a radon-resistant membrane like CM20 is crucial in mitigating risk. The membrane has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it meets the necessary standards for radon protection, making it a vital component in both residential and commercial construction projects where radon exposure may be a concern.
High Versatility and Performance
Both the CM8 and CM20 membranes showcase high versatility, making them suitable for various construction applications, including:
- Basement and foundation waterproofing: These membranes create robust barriers to prevent moisture ingress in underground or damp environments.
- Radon protection: CM20’s tested resistance to radon ensures safety in homes and buildings located in high-radon areas.
- Green roofing solutions: CM8’s dual-layer system provides the perfect foundation for installing sustainable green roofs, helping with drainage and moisture control while promoting plant health.
