Drainage sheets: compare dimple height and backing layers

BULDX product guides2 min read

Compare drainage sheets by their declared geometry and backing layers. A plain dimpled sheet, a felt-backed sheet and a perforated configuration are distinct product types.

APPLICATION ILLUSTRATIONAI-generated application illustration for this guide. Not a completed BULDX project or an installation drawing.

Selection considerations

Identify the intended location in the construction build-up and the required drainage path. Read the catalogue's height, material and layer description separately. A nominal height does not establish compressive capacity or drainage performance under project loads.

Coordinate the sheet with waterproofing protection, outlets and edge details. Ask for the relevant technical data for the proposed application and keep installation orientation explicit. When comparing quotations, include any required filter or separator layer rather than assuming every sheet contains it.

Before you specify or order

  • Confirm sheet and backing layers
  • Identify drainage outlets
  • Request application-specific performance data

Common question

Are felt-backed and plain drainage sheets equivalent?

No. Their layer arrangements differ and should match the specified build-up.
