The Platon Comfort membrane, from Triton Systems, offers a range of benefits in new-build or retrofit situations when installing timber or laminate flooring over concrete as well as screeded surfaces, giving lasting protection.
Recently re-launched by the Kent based company to emphasise the cushioning effect of the dynamic studs on the underside of the ultra-slim cavity membrane, Platon Comfort is simply loose laid direct onto the substrate to prevent moisture transmission when the relative humidity remains as high as 95%. In fact it can be installed as soon as fresh concrete is dry enough to walk on and avoids the need to include a foam undelay.
As well as delivering three times the water vapour resistance of conventional film products, Platon Comfort achieves an impact sound reduction of 17-19 dB as the specially profiled studs absorb load. The underlayer is also compatible with electric as well as conventional underfloor heating systems.
Significantly, the studs create an air gap beneath the 0.5mm continuous polypropylene membrane which facilitates the natural drying process for concrete, while weighing just 450 g/m2 and increasing the total build height by only 2.5mm.
Supplied in rolls of 1.0 x 20 metres, Platon Comfort is easy to lay, needing just scissors or a knife to cut, along with a roll of Triton’s Platon Comfort Tape to complete the joints before installing insulation, timber flooring or a low-voltage UFH system.
