Description

Visqueen TreadGUARD 1500 is a heavy duty board designed to have high compressive strength to protect the membrane from the following trades, positioning of reinforcement, etc. It is made from touch 100% recycled board. TreadGUARD 1500 also prevents wind uplift and joint pressure. TreadGUARD has been independently tested against market alternatives including 3mm bituminous board for puncture resistance using test method BS EN 12691: 2001 – ‘Impact Resistance’. An impactor head of 10 mm diameter and 1 kg was used, and at various drop heights to determine the puncture level. The results show that TreadGUARD1500 has a greater impact resistance. Visqueen TreadGUARD1500 complies with the recommendations BS 8102:2009 “Code of practice for protection of below-ground structures against water from the ground” and BBA Certificates (94/3009, 10/4780, 01/3820, 10/4754) for the protection of membranes from punctures.
