Use Gripset Elastoproof Prefabricated Corners for:
Achieving seamless waterproofing at internal (90°) and external (270°)
corner intersections in waterproofing applications.
The Gripset Elastoproof Prefabricated Corners are designed to provide an effective waterproofing solution for critical 90° and 270° intersections. By maintaining a "flexible zone," these corners ensure a seamless and elastic seal, overcoming the challenges associated with detailing waterproofing membranes at volatile areas. These prefabricated sections offer superior performance compared to traditional multilayered membranes, reinforcement layers, bond breaking tapes, and sealants.
