Product Details

High strength Polyester
Completely Waterproof
Energy Saving Properties

Water can damage any building, even from the bottom. If you are working on a new build, you need to be sure to install the proper products to keep your foundation and the rest of your structure dry. The DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER resists the capillary rise of water from the footings of the building into the foundation walls, and thus helps to protect the basement from mold growth, deterioration of moisture sensitive materials and unhealthy living conditions. Made from heavy-duty polyester and polyethylene materials and engineered to adhere to concrete footing, the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is excellent capillary break for residential and commercial structures alike. If you've searched how to keep water away from house foundation" and you're still looking for a solution, this is the product for you. Order the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER from our trusted supply team here at Spycor Building Products today.

Properties:

The DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER acts as a physical barrier, resisting the capillary wicking of water and upward migration of moisture from the footings into the foundation wall that is also known as rising damp. The material is designed to adhere well to the concrete footing. It is very pliable, allowing the forming of a keyway as per common practice.

The DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is an important part of the DELTA® Premium Moisture Protection System, and can be easily installed by just one person.

Material:

The DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is a 3-ply sheet membrane containing a polyester needle punched fabric, a polyethylene barrier, and an anti-slip surface layer. The specially designed, hydrophilic needle-punch PET fabric forms a strong mechanical bond with the concrete. It resists tearing during placement of gravel. The polyethylene middle layer creates a positive moisture barrier to prevent the wicking of water from the footings through to the foundation walls.

With a special non-slip surface coating, DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER helps keep the jobsite a safe place to work.

Application:

The DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is very easy to install. Just lay it into the freshly poured concrete footings, smooth into place with a trowel, and form the keyway with the membrane in place. The DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER has a centre line to mark the location of the keyway preprinted on it to make the alignment on the footing simple.

Rebar may be inserted into the wet concrete through an X-cut in the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER. Forms for the foundation walls are placed and the concrete is poured normally.

How does DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER work?
DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER creates an impermeable physical barrier between the footing and the foundation wall. This barrier prevents moisture absorbed by the footing from continuing to move upwards (by wicking or capillary movement) into the foundation wall.

What is a capillary break?
A capillary break is any gap or physical barrier that interrupts the flow of liquid water through the microscopic fissures (or capillaries) of a material. DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is a capillary break because it provides a physical barrier to the movement of water from the footings into the foundation walls.

Is DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER required by building codes?
DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is not required currently by building codes in North America. However, the use of DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER does not violate building codes either. The use of DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER should not affect the approval of the foundation by local building inspectors.

How is DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER installed?
DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER may be installed as soon as the concrete for the footings is poured and leveled. Simply roll out the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER fuzzy grey side down and blue side up. Line up the pre-printed centre key way line over top of the desired key way location. Gently press the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER into the wet concrete with a standard trowel so that it is smooth and wrinkle-free. Because the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is placed directly into the fresh wet concrete, installation may begin as soon as each section is ready. It is not necessary to wait until the entire footing is poured before beginning. Start as soon as a section has been leveled. With the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER in place, the key way may be formed in the usual manner.

How do you form the key way?
Once the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER is in place, the key way may be formed in the conventional fashion using the preprinted centre key way line as the guide to locating it. Common ways of forming the key way include using a standard piece of 2 x 4 lumber or a specially-designed trowel.

Can DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER be installed on any footing forming system?
In general, yes, DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER can be installed on most any conventional footing forming system. However, forms using stakes, rather than cross-bracing, allow for a more continuous application of the membrane because fewer gaps are required. In a system using a lot of cross-bracing, the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER must be stopped at one side of the cross-brace then restarted on the other. This creates gaps in the continuity of the membrane but will have a minimal effect on the overall performance. When cutting the membrane at the cross-braces, leave enough extra membrane so that the two ends may be butted up against one another to avoid large gaps. Even with gaps, most of the footing will be protected and DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER will provide much more moisture protection for the basement than if there were none at all.

How does DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER bond to the concrete?
DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER has a grey fuzzy back or underside that forms a strong mechanical bond when worked into the concrete with a trowel. This hydrophilic backing becomes saturated with the water in the freshly poured concrete and creates the bond as the concrete cures. No glues, primers, or mechanical fasteners are required.

Can I install DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER after the footings have hardened?
No. DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER must be installed immediately after the concrete for the footings has been poured and leveled while the concrete is still wet. If the concrete is allowed to harden first, there will be no way to bond the DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER to the concrete.

Can my house be retrofitted with DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER?
No. Once the concrete for the footings has cured, DELTA®-FOOTING BARRIER may no longer
