Verified scope

What this product is.

CORE DRAINBASE is a separate 30 mm drainage and buffering board. It should not be confused with the smaller CORE DRAINAGE CELL, because the materials, format and declared water-management data differ.

Applications

Where it can be considered.

  • Podium landscapes
  • Roof landscapes
  • Planters
  • Sub-surface drainage and buffering
  • Compatible landscape build-ups
Limitations

Where judgment is required.

Do not transfer the value to CORE DRAINAGE CELL.

The board does not replace outlet, overflow or waterproofing design.

Loading, protection and filter layers must suit the complete roof or podium system.

Installation overview

Sequence the interfaces.

  1. 01

    Confirm waterproofing protection, falls, outlets and the approved roof/podium sequence.

  2. 02

    Lay the units closely and cut cleanly around penetrations.

  3. 03

    Install the specified geotextile or filter layer with controlled laps.

  4. 04

    Place overlying layers without displacing or damaging the board.

  5. 05

    Inspect outlets, continuity and protection before covering.

Straight answers

CORE DRAINBASE questions.

Is CORE DRAINBASE a water crate?

No. It is a thin drainage and buffering board; CORE WATER CRATE is a deeper below-ground storage unit.

Is 30 L/m² a storage design?

It is the published product buffering value, not a complete drainage design. Rainfall, area, outlets and overflow still need calculation.

Can it sit directly on waterproofing?

Only within the waterproofing designer's approved protection and compatibility sequence.
