Defender is our sustainably profitable solution for the protection of basement walls. It replaces the outdated setup of 20 cm of gravel + dimpled membrane with only 7 cm of recycled plastic, making construction projects simpler, faster, less expensive, and more sustainable. Here is how to install it in 5 easy steps.
2 Install the top row
Install the top Defender row last, making sure to fix each panel with mechanical, or preferably chemical anchors.
