PLASTFOIL® in the historic center of Krakow

PLASTFOIL® in the historic center of KrakowThe high-quality waterproofing membrane PLASTFOIL® is much-in-demand outside of Russia. The unreinforced PVC membrane PLASTFOIL® GEO and reinforced with a synthetic mesh PVC membrane PLASTFOIL® ECO have found use in the new residential complex of the Polish city of Krakow. Near the historic center of this one of the most beautiful cities, not only in Poland but throughout Europe, the appearance of new buildings is planned especially carefully. The project of the new building is brought to realization when it does not distort the existing environment but conversely lends new colors to the familiar architectural appearance. The second stage of residential apartments Wiślane Tarasy (in translation from the Polish "terrace at the Vistula") is being built in close proximity to the "Old Town" where the famous Wawel Castle and other sights of the city are located. As the French say, whom Polish people hold in high regard, "La noblesse oblige" (Nobility obliges), so the apartment buildings are full of modern architectural decor and other embellishments. Nowadays, the roof gardening is becoming more popular. For that purpose a complex "roofing pie" is built on the roof, the number of layers of which comes to a dozen. An important layer is the waterproofing, and the choice in favor of an unreinforced PVC membrane PLASTFOIL® GEO will reliably protect the roof of the apartments from leakages. The PVC membrane PLASTFOIL® ECO reinforced with synthetic mesh is applied on the parapets that cover the roof. Along with the excellent water-repellent properties these materials have high tensile strength, resistance to physical and mechanical influences, optimum flexibility and elasticity. The latter minimizes the risks of rupture of the waterproofing layer associated with possible movements or deformations of the structure. Durable, reliable and long-life waterproofing material is an effective solution for the construction of the roof and the choice of the European builders is another proof of this fact.
