• Our BBA certified and unique Triton TT Admix is used at the time of
batching. The chemicals react with fresh concrete to actively seal the
concrete itself against the penetration of water or liquid and to protect it
from harsh environmental conditions. Shrinkage cracks are constantly
and automatically resealed during a life-long active protection system.
• Our waterstops are designed to seal construction joints and include
Triton CEMflex VB Plate Waterstop, a weatherproof, galvanized steel
plate that only reacts with the water within the concrete and is therefore
ideal for use in ICF or twin wall installations; Triton-Adcor 510S Waterbar,
a high performance and BBA certified, conformable, swellable polymer/
butyl rubber waterstop; and Triton TT Waterstop, a hydrophilic,
ready to use waterstop which swells up to 350% when in contact with water.
Triton TT Swellmastic S2, a one-component hydro-reactive expansion
sealant, is recommended to be used as an adhesive in conjunction with
Triton’s hydrophilic waterstops.

SYSTEMS
Condensation is the most common cause of dampness in buildings and
affects properties of all types and ages. In particular it is directly associated
with black mould growth. We offer a comprehensive range of products
to control condensation including passive air vents, extractor fans, heat
recovery ventilators and positive pressure units.
FLOORING
We supply a range of sheet membranes and liquid applied systems to
waterproof all types of flooring substrates in existing and new building
constructions. Speak to us about which products would be the most
appropriate for your flooring project.
GREEN ROOFS
Green roofs deliver many benefits – particularly to urban areas. They insulate
and protect roofing materials; clean the air and counteract climate change;
provide microclimates for insects and bird life and create fabulous spaces for
work and leisure. We supply membranes that deliver the water storage and
drainage element within a green roof construction. Call our technical team
for more information.

CASE STUDY
WATERPROOFING ONE OF THE
LARGEST EVER ICF CONSTRUCTIONS
Structural waterproofing products from Triton Systems have been
specified for one of the largest ICF construction dwellings ever built in
the UK. The 2,500M2 basement extends beyond the property where a
blue-green roof will be created over a suspended podium deck to form
part of the garden outside.
From the outset of the project, the Triton technical team worked closely
with the waterproofing and blue-green roof design specialists, to create
a waterproofing strategy using Type A, B and C systems from Triton’s
range and utilised a comprehensive Construction Quality Assurance
protocol that was agreed between the two companies.
