Installing Delta Root Block

Once a primary waterproofing membrane has been applied, you can roll out the Delta Root Block membrane over the primary waterproofing membrane. Cut the root barrier membrane to size with suitable cutting equipment. 

Subsequent lengths of membrane should be placed next to each other, overlapping by at least 150mm. These joints can be sealed with Delta tape or heat welded.

Any service penetrations should firstly be sealed using a combination of Delta Corner Stip and Delta Tape, with sections of Delta Root Block cut neatly and placed over protruding pipework.
