Platon Brick Plugs are specialised fixings designed for secure attachment of Platon Waterproof Membranes, such as Platon P8 Membrane, to solid base materials such as brickwork and concrete, commonly used in basement waterproofing and damp proofing applications.
These fixings, measuring 10mm in diameter and 75mm in length, are essential for ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the membrane system.
For a watertight seal, Platon Brick Plugs should be used in conjunction with Platon Sealing Rope or Platon Brick Plug Sealing Washers. Platon Brick Plugs are supplied in boxes of 100 fixings.

Platon Brick Plugs are a critical component in the installation of waterproofing membranes, particularly in basement and damp proofing projects where secure attachment to the underlying structure is essential. These plugs are specifically designed to anchor Platon Waterproof Membranes to various substrates, including brickwork, concrete, and stone, ensuring that the membrane remains firmly in place over the long term, even under challenging conditions.
Each Brick Plug measures 10mm in diameter and 75mm in length, providing sufficient depth to penetrate solid base materials while allowing for a secure fit that prevents movement of the membrane. The robust construction of these plugs ensures that they can withstand the rigours of installation and the stresses placed upon the membrane system in service. This durability is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the waterproofing system over time, particularly in environments where the structure is exposed to significant moisture or hydrostatic pressure.
Installation of Platon Brick Plugs is straightforward and efficient. The process begins with the drilling of a 10mm diameter hole through the waterproof membrane and into the substrate using a suitable 10mm SDS drill bit. Once the hole is prepared, the plug is inserted through the membrane and secured into the base material, anchoring the membrane securely in place. To achieve a watertight seal around the plug head, which is essential to the overall performance of the waterproofing system, it is recommended that Platon Sealing Rope or Platon Brick Plug Sealing Washers are used. These sealing accessories, sold separately, are designed to fit precisely around the inside of the plug head, preventing any water ingress at the fixing points and enhancing the effectiveness of the entire system.
One of the standout features of Platon Brick Plugs is their versatility. While they are specifically designed for use with Platon Waterproof Membranes, they are also fully compatible with a range of other waterproofing membranes, including Wykamol Membranes and Newton Membranes. This compatibility makes Platon Brick Plugs a flexible and valuable component for a variety of waterproofing applications, allowing them to be used across different projects and with different membrane systems without compromising on performance.
The design of the Platon Brick Plug also includes a central hole that can accept a woodscrew. This feature is particularly useful for projects where internal linings or timber battens are required. By allowing for the secure attachment of these elements to the underlying structure, Platon Brick Plugs help facilitate the completion of internal finishing systems, further enhancing the versatility of the product.
Platon Brick Plugs are supplied in boxes of 100 fixings, ensuring that you have an ample supply for your project. This packaging format is ideal for both small and large-scale installations, providing sufficient quantity to cover extensive areas while also being convenient to handle and store. The high-quality materials and precise manufacturing standards of Platon Brick Plugs guarantee reliable performance, making them an essential choice for professionals in the waterproofing and construction industries.
Secure Fixing of Waterproof Membranes: Platon Brick Plugs provide a secure and reliable method for attaching waterproof membranes to solid base materials, ensuring that the membrane remains in place and performs effectively over time. Their robust design and dimensions (10mm x 75mm) are tailored to penetrate deep into substrates like brickwork and concrete, providing exceptional holding power.
Watertight Sealing: When used with Platon Sealing Rope or Platon Sealing Washers, these plugs create a watertight seal around the fixing point, preventing water ingress at critical junctures. This feature is vital for maintaining the integrity of the entire waterproofing system, especially in areas prone to high moisture levels or hydrostatic pressure.
Versatile Compatibility: While designed for use with Platon Waterproof Membranes, these plugs are also compatible with other leading waterproofing systems, including Wykamol and Newton membranes. This versatility allows them to be used across different projects and membrane systems, making them a flexible solution for various waterproofing needs.
Ease of Installation: Platon Brick Plugs are designed for straightforward installation, requiring only a 10mm SDS drill bit to prepare the fixing hole. Their simple yet effective design makes them easy to install, reducing time and effort on-site and ensuring a secure fit every time.
Integration with Internal Finishing Systems: The central hole in each Platon Brick Plug allows for the insertion of a woodscrew, facilitating the attachment of timber battens or other internal linings. This feature is particularly beneficial in projects where internal finishes are required, providing a secure anchor point for further construction elements.
High-Quality Construction: Made from durable materials, Platon Brick Plugs are engineered to withstand the demands of installation and long-term service in challenging environments. Their construction ensures they maintain their performance, even under the stress of heavy loads or exposure to moisture.
Convenient Packaging: Supplied in boxes of 100 fixings, Platon Brick Plugs offer convenience and value, ensuring you have an adequate supply for your project. This packaging size is ideal for both small and large installations, providing flexibility and ease of use.
Basement Waterproofing: Platon Brick Plugs are widely used in basement waterproofing projects, where they secure waterproof membranes to the walls and floors of basements. By anchoring the membrane firmly to the substrate, these plugs help prevent water ingress and protect the basement from dampness, making it suitable for habitable use.
Damp Proofing: In damp proofing applications, particularly in older buildings, Platon Brick Plugs are essential for attaching membranes that act as barriers against rising damp. Their secure fixing capability ensures that the membrane remains intact and effective, providing long-term protection against moisture-related damage.
Concrete and Brickwork Applications: These plugs are ideal for use in securing membranes to concrete and brickwork surfaces. Their design allows them to penetrate and hold firmly in these materials, ensuring a strong and durable connection between the membrane and the substrate, which is critical for the overall effectiveness of the waterproofing system.
Retrofitting Projects: Platon Brick Plugs are particularly useful in retrofitting applications where additional waterproofing measures are being installed in existing structures. Their ability to securely fix membranes to existing brickwork or concrete makes them an invaluable tool in extending the life and usability of older buildings.
Internal Lining Systems: The central hole feature of the Platon Brick Plug allows for the attachment of timber battens and other internal linings. This capability is essential in projects where the waterproofing system needs to be integrated with internal finishes, providing a secure and reliable method for completing internal construction elements.
Platon Brick Plugs are an essential component for any professional waterproofing and damp proofing project. Their combination of secure fixing, watertight sealing, and versatility across different membrane systems makes them an indispensable choice for ensuring the long-term effectiveness and durability of waterproofing installations.
Whether for basement waterproofing, damp proofing, or retrofitting older buildings, Platon Brick Plugs deliver reliable performance in the most demanding conditions.
