Protecting your home's foundation from moisture is crucial for its longevity and your family's well-being. The Platon® Foundation Wrap is a leading solution, offering a robust and reliable barrier against water intrusion. This guide will walk you through its benefits and a step-by-step installation process, helping you achieve a dry and secure foundation.
Understanding Platon® Foundation Wrap:
Your First Line of Defense
The Platon® Foundation Wrap is a rugged, dimpled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) membrane engineered to keep wet soil away from your foundation wall. It creates an impermeable vapor barrier and a critical air gap, allowing the concrete to breathe while effectively controlling moisture. Any moisture that bypasses the membrane is efficiently directed to the foundation drain through this air gap drainage path.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Superior Moisture Control: Prevents water from reaching your foundation, directing it safely away.
- Durable & Sustainable: Made from tough, durable HDPE with approximately 85% recycled content, making it an eco-friendly choice with no soil or air contaminants.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for waterproofing block walls, poured concrete walls, permanent wood foundations, existing foundations, and Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF).
- Easy Installation: Features patented Speedclips for quick and secure fastening on all types of foundations, in various weather conditions.

Why Platon® Foundation Wrap Stands Out:
Unmatched Performance & Value
When it comes to safeguarding your home's foundation, not all solutions are created equal. The Platon® Foundation Wrap consistently rises above the rest, offering a blend of economy, versatility, and durability that makes it a top choice for both new construction and existing basement waterproofing projects.
- Economical: A Cost-Effective Solution for Long-Term Waterproofing Investing in Platon® Foundation Wrap is an intelligent financial decision that delivers long-term waterproofing benefits. While some may focus on initial material costs, Platon's true economy lies in its ability to prevent costly future repairs.
- All-Weather Installation: Unmatched Flexibility, Saving Time and Labor One of Platon's most significant advantages is its adaptability to various conditions.
Unlike some liquid-applied or spray-on solutions that are highly dependent on specific temperatures and dry conditions, Platon® Foundation Wrap can be installed in virtually all-weather conditions. - Versatile: Multi-Purpose Protection for Various Foundation Types
Platon® Foundation Wrap boasts impressive versatility, making it suitable for almost any foundation. Whether you're working with poured concrete walls, traditional block walls, modern Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), or even permanent wood foundations, Platon provides consistent, reliable moisture control. - Durable: Engineered from Tough HDPE for Lifelong Performance Durability is at the core of Platon® Foundation Wrap's design. Manufactured from tough, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this membrane is built to withstand the harsh realities of below-grade environments.
Installing Platon® Foundation Wrap is a straightforward process that delivers reliable, long-lasting protection for your foundation and basement.
