INSTALLATION OF FASTFOOT® USING 'FOLDED CORNERS'
 

The installation of Fastfoot® around corners can be improved significantly by folding rather than cutting the fabric at each corner and restarting in the new direction.

Advantages

  • Faster - as there is no stopping and starting, the fabric can be installed continuously around the perimeter of the foundation;
  • Total protection against rising damp - as there are no joints or cuts on the outside and bottom of the fabric, there is complete protection against rising damp;
  • No concrete leakage - as there are no joints or cuts on the outside or bottom of the footing, there is no chance of concrete leakage.

Installation Method

Run Fastfoot® past corner. Nail off centerline and corner diagonal. Staple fabric in position up to corner.
Cut fabric edge to footing width line as shown, then along the width line to the inside corner. Cut up the width line an equal distance. Staple #1 tab to screed board.

   

Lift fabric up at F, pivoting the roll around outside corner until aligned in new direction.

   
Lay down fold F and nail. Staple tab #2 to screed board. Continue running Fastfoot® in new direction.
