Drain Mat Function & Installation | Formulated Materials
DM1 is a UV-stable polyolefin drainage mat designed to solve moisture problems in elevated concrete slabs used in multifamily construction projects. The mat is installed dimple-side up over waterproof membranes, allowing water to permeate through the concrete and drain away, preventing efflorescence and freeze-thaw damage.
