FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT MAKES DRAINMAT USA DIMPLE BOARD UNIQUE?
Our drain board is made from HDPE. HDPE dimple board is favored over polystyrene or polypropylene dimple boards because of its superior durability and chemical resistance. HDPE has a higher resistance to tearing, puncturing, and impact damage, making it a better option for long-term use in construction applications. It's also resistant to a wider range of chemicals and not affected by groundwater or soil pollutants. Additionally, HDPE dimple board has better UV resistance and does not break down or become brittle over time when exposed to sunlight, unlike polystyrene and polypropylene. Furthermore, HDPE is a recyclable material, making it a more environmentally friendly option.

WHAT IS DIMPLE BOARD?
Dimple board is a type of drainage board made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that is used in construction to provide a layer of protection against water intrusion in below-grade or below-slab structures. The dimples in the board create an air gap between the waterproofing membrane and the earth, allowing any water that penetrates the membrane to drain away.
