PVC Vents For Aerators

Wallbarn also supplies vents in PVC, for use with compatible synthetic Waterproofing Membranes. They are designed to aerate the concrete and help the structure to breath.

As with the TPE Vents for bituminous membranes, PVC decks will also require sufficient aeration to avoid vapour build-up and potential blistering of the waterproofing membrane.

The vent is designed to draw this moisture away from the concrete slab. It is placed onto the bare concrete beneath the waterproofing membrane and insulation.

These vents are installed in a different manner to the TPE varieties in that they will be heat-bonded to the PVC waterproofing membrane, or be bonded with a suitable adhesive, beneath the main membrane. Applicators should get advice from the waterproofing manufacturer for the best installation technique.
