Biokil Crown 8mm Membrane – Clear

High-Capacity Cavity Drainage Membrane for Below-Ground Waterproofing

Biokil Crown 8mm Membrane – Clear is a robust, high-capacity cavity drainage membrane designed for internal waterproofing applications in basements, retaining walls, and other below-ground structures. Manufactured from clear high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the membrane features 8mm studs that create an air gap between the substrate and internal finishes, allowing water to drain freely into a perimeter drainage system or sump. The clear construction allows for visual inspection of the substrate during installation, making it ideal for damp-proofing and structural waterproofing.

Key Features & Benefits

• 8mm Stud Height: Provides excellent drainage capacity for high-moisture or below-ground environments.
• Clear HDPE Construction: Enables visibility of substrate for inspection and detailing during installation.
• Moisture Isolation: Prevents moisture and salt transfer from masonry to internal finishes.
• Compatible with Systems: Works with sump pumps, perimeter channels, and sealing accessories for full cavity drain systems.
• Durable & Chemically Resistant: Resistant to alkalis, acids, bacteria, and fungi – ideal for long-term installations.
