Products from the range of Triton Systems have been used to waterproof a semi-buried single storey extension to an old listed farmhouse near Uckfield in East Sussex, with the specialist sub-contractor involved being a long-term customer of the manufacturer for its work across the South-East.
The current contract, which is being project managed by the property owner, features the use of Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) to construct the 30 metre long curving walls which have then been protected by Archer Specialist Treatments, using Triton’s EX100 membrane and Double Drain barrier to direct groundwater into a land drain around the base. Triton fillet was also used at the floor/wall junction to prevent moisture penetrating the joint.
Paul Halliwell, a Chartered Builder and Director of Archer Specialist Treatments, commented:
“This has been a relatively routine project for us – waterproofing a retaining wall – so we did not need to call on Triton Systems for design assistance on this occasion, but we do get very good support from our area sales manager, Steve West: which is one of the reasons I’ve stuck with the company for so long as our supplier of waterproofing systems. Archer Treatments is a family run business which has been trading successfully for 35 years – working from Chichester on the South Coast across to Canterbury and taking in much of London. In the two decades or more we’ve been using Triton, we have come to depend on the product range’s quality and reliability for all types of residential projects in different ground conditions.
“On a regular basis we employ their cavity drain systems – the P2, P8 and P20 – the injection chemicals for damp-proofing and the TT55 cementitious waterproofing additive as well as the fungal and dry rot chemicals. It is a very good relationship we have with the company.”
As a long-established manufacturer with a very successful track record, Triton Systems offers a wide range of well proven products to cover damp-proofing problems, timber protection, structural repairs, condensation control and the penetration of gases such as radon and methane. Its technical advisory service is also able to offer advice on specific project requirements as well as guidance on relevant product compliances.
