Used in conjunction with a total MEADOWS system, MEL-DRAIN DB is the ideal choice for enhanced waterproofing protection of basement walls, plaza decks, earth sheltered homes, commercial buildings, retaining walls, underground parking, site drainage, etc.

Installation
For vertical, below grade applications, unroll MEL-DRAIN DB with flat, film side against the wall or waterproofing material. MEADOWS Pointing Mastic is an excellent adhesive, compatible with this installation. The flat side core material is overlapped to provide a continuous drainage layer. Extra filter fabric is provided at the edges for overlapping with the next sheet. MEL-DRAIN DB is easily cut with construction knives or scissors.
