LIQUID APPLIED SYSTEMS

• Triton TT Vapour Membrane is a versatile, ready-blended waterproof
coating that also acts as a barrier against Methane and Carbon Dioxide.
Apply it by airless spray, roller or brush to walls, floors and soffits.
• A solvent-free, two part epoxy resin coating, Triton Triseal is typically
used as a surface damp proof membrane and a water vapour suppressant
beneath raised access floors, in plant rooms and bunded areas.
• Elastomeric Triton Fastcoat guarantees total water-tightness and
withstands building movements. Can be used as a base coat, reinforcing
layer or top coat on terraces, balconies and podium decks. It can be used
beneath paving on exterior surfaces.

CEMENTITIOUS SYSTEMS

GREEN ROOF ANTI-CONDENSATION PRODUCTS

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.

Triton solutions for your project, just invite us in to discuss your
requirements.

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.
