AVM Aussie Mate 580-AL is a UV-stable, heavy-duty 60-mil bituminous sheet membrane designed for below-grade waterproofing and methane protection. Reinforced with an aluminum facer, this advanced membrane offers outstanding adhesion, elongation, and recovery properties. Unlike many other sheet membranes, Aussie Mate 580-AL can withstand UV exposure for up to 180 days, making it highly durable in demanding environments.
Applications:
Below-grade foundation walls (concrete & CMU)
Retaining walls
Basements
Decks and planters, including:
Plaza decks
Split-slab decks
Planter boxes
