Dörken Systems Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance air and moisture barriers and building envelope products, introduces DELTA®-TERRAXX and DELTA®-TERRAXX PLUS, new drainboard systems for horizontal, vertical, and blindside drainage requirements.
“Conventional drainboards have been commoditized in North America,” says Dörken’s Product & Marketing Manager Peter Barrett. “That has led to cost-cutting efforts by manufacturers, which has resulted in cheaper geotextiles and limited performance. And we are seeing more incidents of clogging as a result.
“There have been no innovations or new solutions for architects to choose from for quite some time. We want to change that with our DELTA®-TERRAXX products.”
With DELTA®-TERRAXX products, building professionals no longer have to settle for run-of-the-mill drainboards they now have a high-performance option that can meet higher building code requirements and urban water management standards. Already the most popular drainboard in Europe, Dörken is bringing the cutting-edge drainboard technology to North America.
DELTA®-TERRAXX and DELTA®-TERRAXX PLUS are unlike any other drainage system available today, offering the perfect balance of compressive strength, drainage performance, handling, and installation ease.
The unique TYPAR® geotextile bonded to a dimple sheet allows for a higher drainage capacity than the average mineral-drainage layer. Most importantly, the quality geotextile withstands heavy structural loads, backfill, or soil overburden, meaning the drainage space won’t clog and drainage capacity stays steady.
Our DELTA®-TERRAXX PLUS is the first drainboard with a self-adhering edge tab, making installation fast and consistent. Installers can just roll out the sheets and stick them together, all in a couple of steps. DELTA®-TERRAXX PLUS also comes in large, optimally sized rolls that are easy to cut and detail; large spaces are covered faster and with less ballast, creating more useable working areas.
