Platon, a durable HDPE membrane with a dimpled design, is a high-performance stand-alone waterproofing system that eliminates the need for additional waterproofing treatments. The CertaForm UltraFlex Flexible Flatwork Form has all the qualities needed to speed up flatwork jobs and increase productivity.
Form-A-Drain and ICF Construction
Form-A-Drain Plus is an ideal choice for ICF construction, whether building an ICF foundation and basement, or full ICF construction.
Form-A-Drain serves a dual purpose: it forms the concrete footings while also functioning as the foundation drainage and radon venting system. When paired with Nudura ICF, which acts as the permanent form for foundation walls, this integration results in significant time and labor savings during the foundation phase.
- Reduced setup time: Form-A-Drain eliminates the need to strip traditional wood footing forms.
- Fewer materials: No separate drainage pipe or venting system is required.
- Faster backfill readiness: Because both the footing form and drain are part of the same system, trades can move quickly from footing to wall construction using Nudura ICF.
- Precision Alignment: The rigid, consistent profile of Form-A-Drain helps ensure accurate footing dimensions and alignment, which is critical for stacking NUDURA ICF blocks correctly and maintaining wall plumbness and structural integrity.
