SikaWall®-9460 Drainage Mat DF

 Drainage and ventilation material. 

A composite, dual function product consisting of a durable polymer entangled filament core that is thermally bonded to spun bonded continuous bi-component fiber non-woven fabric.
 

  • Fabric prevents the cement plaster from blocking the drainage plane enabling rain screen design for maximum drainage and ventilation efficiency.
  • Open design creates a continuous capillary break and channel for moisture drainage. 
  • Simple and quick to install. Easier and more cost effective than traditional furring strip methods.

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

  • Weep screed and window head flashing must be in place. 
  • Substrate must be treated with air/water-resistive barrier and all openings properly flashed prior to installing SikaWall Drainage Mat DF. Confirm that the application of air/water-resistive barrier was performed in accordance with product application instructions.
  • Ensure air/water-resistive barrier is dry prior to application of SikaWall Drainage Mat DF. 
  • Substrate must be flat and free of planar irregularities greater than 1/4" in 10' (6.4mm in 3m).
  • The fabric side of the SikaWall Drainage Mat DF shall face outward toward the installer, and the filament core shall be in contact with the surface of the air/water-resistive barrier.
 

APPLICATION

Apply drainage mat horizontally or vertically over air/water-resistive barrier with the fabric side facing outward toward the installer. Sikawall Drainage Mat DF should be free of wrinkles, creases, and tears. Abut all vertical and horizontal edges. Secure SikaWall Drainage Mat DF to substrate with sufficient building staples or galvanized nails to remain in place prior to application of SikaWall Permalath 1000 or metal plaster base.

Note: UV exposure of SikaWall Drainage Mat DF must be limited to 30 days.
