Enkabreak - breaks the morter :)

While constructing the outer wall of the buildings there is always a risk of blocking the drainage holes with morter.

You may use Enkabreak to prevent that problem.

Enka-Break (thickness approximately 20 mm, height 300 mm) is placed vertically in the cavity, against the outer wall. The mat is fixed in position by bending the flat section on the top end horizontally and embedding it in the mortar or between the mortar and the bricks. Any mortar falling into the cavity will end up between Enka-Break and the inner wall.

As a result, Enka-Break prevents the blocking of the venting and drainage holes in the outer wall. It also prevents bridging between inner and outer wall.

Building - Sound Reduction

Enkasonic® - sound control matting

Application:

Enkasonic® is used as sound control matting beneath ceramic tile, marble, wood vinyl or carpet flooring in both wood frame and concrete slab constructions. Due to its reduced thickness (10 mm), Enkasonic® E is ideal for both new constructions and retrofit. In addition to acting as a sound reduction layer, Enkasonic® E also contributes to the thermal insulation of the floor.

Benefits:
• Easy to install

• Used to create “void” essential for sound insulation

• Resilient enough to absorb impact sound

• Ideal for new construction and rehab projects

Installation:

For the installation of Enkasonic®, the following steps should be followed:
• Ensure proper sub-floor strength

• Install perimeter isolation strip to prevent impact sound

• transmission through floor- wall contact area

• Place Enkasonic® on top of sub-floor and tape joints

• Place the overlay on top of Enkasonic®

• Place the floor covering on top of the overlay

Basement, cellar drainage, waterproofing

In the basements of buildings generally we have moisture problems. Even we have waterproofing water may enter the building. A good waterproofing system should be supported by drainage materials.
Geocomposites can intercept incoming water and drain it away from the structure towards the collector pipe.
To use a geocomposite drain is much easier and generally cheaper than conventional drainage systems like mineral drains. Forexample you should carry a lot of gravel to the construction site or building. It is also difficult to use heavy gravel. It is also necessary to cover the drainage pipe with a nonwoven geotextile to prevent clogging.
But a composite drainage sheet with a filter bothsides and only about less than half a kilograms per square meter you can make a better drainage system. Also the inside core of the drainage sheet should be elastic and the core should have a structure to let water go easily to all directions.

A good composite drainage system:

• Keeps wet soil away from walls
• collects and removes groundwater
• Protects the waterproofing on walls
• Relieves hydrostatic pressure

Advantages of composite drains:

• Ventilates - Prevents wall sweating and fungal growth
• Light and flexible-Readily adaptable to irregular wall configurations
• Economical - No extra accessories needed (i.a. strips, special fastenings, etc.)
• Reliable and durable

The composite drains can be used as do it yourself type of applications also.

Geocomposites - Drainage of roof gardens

For many years now, green roofs are well accepted as a visually attractive and cost-effective method of roof construction, and are becoming increasingly used on account of their advantages in terms of aesthetics, ecology and physical characteristics. Due to their added value related to energy efficiency, the improvement of the microclimate and cutting the peaks of rainstorm runoffs, many city authorities and councils are more and more promoting the use of green roofs. Green roofs can give architects and building engineers more scope for aesthetic design and environmental improvement by reducing the number of hard surfaces in built–up areas.
Green roofs retain anything up to 50% of precipitation, spreading the runoff over much longer periods of time. As a result, green roofs can reduce the need for expensive drainage extension works, this helps to the civil engineer cut back construction costs significantly.
Roof Garden of Grand Azur Hotel with Enkadrain, a multifunctional layer for the drainage of surplus water, protection and filtration without the risk of clogging. The nonwoven filter layer serves both to protect the sealing layer and as a separator from the substrate. The choice of the right Enkadrain product type depends on the specific roof structure and use. The Enkadrain product range covers a large number of different drainage mats, each designed for a specific purpose. Certain types of Enkadrain are designed for use in extensive or intensive green roofs; others offer effective solutions for construction projects where roof gardens are intended to take vehicular traffic or other heavy loads, making compression resistance essential.
Enkadrain could be used also to drain long planters
