Elastoproof Prefabricated Corner Sections are designed to simplify and enhance the waterproofing capabilities of Elastoproof Jointing Band applications at crucial 90° and 270° corner intersections. These prefabricated corners create a seamless, flexible zone, ensuring a watertight and elastic seal even when exposed to movement and vibration.
Key Features
- Creates a seamless elastic seal at joint intersections
- Waterproof and acts as a vapour barrier
- Fast and efficient installation
- 100% elastic recovery when exposed to movement
- High strength and excellent tear resistance
- Provides long-term sealing protection in vulnerable areas
- Eliminates the need for lapping and bonding of fabrics at corners
- Compatible with all Gripset membranes
Uses
- Detailing 90° and 270° corners in waterproofing applications
- Creating watertight seals around windows, doors, and other penetrations
- Protecting joints in balconies, terraces, and other exposed areas
- Enhancing the durability of waterproofing systems
Benefits
- Simplifies the waterproofing process, saving time and labour
- Provides a superior alternative to traditional corner detailing methods
- Ensures long-lasting protection against water and vapour ingress
- Improves the overall integrity and performance of waterproofing systems
- Reduces the risk of leaks and water damage
Application Guide
- Apply a generous coat of Gripset membrane to the surface, covering the entire rear corner profile.
- Embed the corner profile into the wet membrane, ensuring all fabric edges are fully saturated.
- Smooth out any creases or air pockets behind the fabric edges using a flat spatula or brush.
- Remove excess membrane from the top surface of the corner.
- Overlap and adhere Elastoproof Jointing Bands onto the prefabricated corner sections with a minimum overlap of 40mm using the selected Gripset membrane.
Limitations
- Not compatible with solvent-based materials (adhesives, sealants, coatings)
- Do not apply when the surface temperature is below 5°C or above 30°C
Packaging
- Internal 90° corners: 200mm x 200mm with 120mm wall/floor returns
- External 270° corners: 200mm x 200mm with 120mm wall/floor returns
Precautions
It is recommended to test the adhesion of all products (primers, membranes, coatings, adhesives, etc.) on a typical area of the prepared surface before full application to ensure satisfactory adhesion. For large commercial areas or unusual substrates, Gripset Industries offers a pre-testing service. Consult Gripset Technical Services for further information.
