Customer Reviews

Here are some customer reviews from various users around the world, highlighting different aspects of the product based on their experiences.

John D., USA (Contractor, Focus: Ease of Installation)
"I used this membrane on a basement foundation project. The self-adhesive backing made application straightforward without needing torches or extra tools. It stuck well to the concrete after priming, and I could backfill the next day. There were a few wrinkles in spots where the surface wasn't perfectly smooth, but overall, it saved time compared to liquid options."

Maria S., Canada (Homeowner, Focus: Durability in Harsh Weather)
"In our cold winters, I applied this to an exterior wall for moisture control. It held up through freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, and there's no sign of peeling after a year. The elasticity helped with minor shifts in the structure. It's not the cheapest, but it seems reliable for long-term use in wet conditions."

Ahmed K., UAE (Engineer, Focus: Adhesion and Compatibility)
"We installed it in a tunnel lining where dust was an issue. The adhesive bonded effectively to the prepared surfaces, even with some irregularities. It integrated well with other materials like bentonite for added protection. No major issues with adhesion so far, though we had to be careful with overlaps to avoid gaps."

Sophie L., UK (Builder, Focus: Cost-Effectiveness)
"For a municipal culvert repair, this membrane provided decent coverage at a reasonable price point. It resisted water flow during tests, and the lack of VOCs meant safer working conditions. Installation was quicker than expected, but we needed extra rolls for curved areas, which added to the cost slightly."

Karl M., Germany (Project Manager, Focus: Environmental Adaptability)
"Applied in an underground storage cavern with high humidity. The membrane maintained its integrity over extended exposure without degrading. It's flexible enough for rocky surfaces, but we noticed minor dust accumulation during construction that required cleaning. Performs as expected in stable environments."

Li Wei, China (Construction Supervisor, Focus: Overall Performance with Minor Drawbacks)
"Used on subway station walls for anti-seepage. The three-dimensional application helped with bonding to post-poured concrete, and it handled vibrations without issues. However, in very humid spots, we saw some initial softening before it set fully. It's functional for urban projects but requires proper surface prep."
