WATERPROOFING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
The Gripset GC system is an evolution in
waterproofing technology and the embodiment of
Gripset’s vision for high quality, innovative and cost
effective solutions, based on solvent-free technology.
A product of extensive research and development,
Gripset GC Systems challenge the limitations of
conventional waterproofing, enhancing the longevity
of waterproofing applications with significant
cost efficiencies, ultimately expanding the
capabilities and productivity of waterproofing
professionals nationally.
Time means money:
With unrivalled installation speed, the Gripset GC
system saves major costs of traditional sheet and
liquid systems without compromising quality or
durability. Labour and installation costs alone can be
reduced by up to 70%, as surface finishes can be
applied immediately after installation. Gripset GC
systems become the obvious choice for architects,
engineers, builders and contractors for projects with
strict time and budgetary constraints.
Versatility:
The Gripset GC system suits the most demanding
waterproofing applications where enhanced
durability, system longevity and fast turnaround
is essential. From under tile, immersed and
subterranean to exposed, horizontal or vertical
applications, the system is adaptable and can be
tailored for specific project needs.
Quick, smart:
The real success of the Gripset GC system is its
design simplicity. The best products share two
traits: Simplicity & Effectiveness. The perception
that something has to be complicated to be highly
effective is inaccurate as the Gripset GC system’s
simple design means easier installation, with
complete waterproofing integrity, creating more than
a waterproof system.
Integrated simplicity:
Simple clever innovation flows through the Gripset
GC system, including adhesives, jointing and
detailing products for every application.
The patented Gripset GC3 and Gripset GC4 systems
prove it, integrating puncture protection and acoustic
underlay properties, providing “all-in-one” solutions.
The Gripset GC range delivers a waterproofing
solution, comprehensively unrivalled in final
performance and cost effectiveness.

GRIPSET GC MEMBRANE SYSTEM
Gripset GC Membrane System is an innovative
product suite from Gripset Industries representing
modern waterproofing that provides significant
advantages to the construction industry.
It fixes the shortcomings of traditional sheet and
liquid membrane systems, keeping the benefits of
both. The durability and uniformity of sheet systems
are maintained without complex, hazardous and
costly application steps. No more welding, torching,
profiling around fixtures, penetrations and upturns.
The speed and ease of applied liquid systems without
limitations of drying times, film build, strength issues
and any solvent emissions.
The result: a high performance membrane system
that expands capabilities and productivity for
builders and contractors. With unrivalled installation
speed, the Gripset GC system is the new benchmark
for clear cost savings without compromising quality,
durability or longevity.
What is the Gripset GC membrane?
The Gripset GC membrane is an impermeable,
tear-resistant sheet with a core polyethylene film
layer vulcanised between fibre-bonded fabric,
forming a waterproof and vapour proof sheet.
The fibre-bonded membrane facing is a carrier for all
Gripset GC adhesives - the ideal bonding surface to
ensure the membrane forms an integral bond to the
adhesive bed.
The exposed face provides a compatible surface
allowing direct application of toppings, tiles and
other decorative finishes.
The Gripset GC membrane range provides variations
for specific applications in the built environment,
which is detailed further in this catalogue.
Gripset GC advantages:
The Gripset GC System’s unique properties mean
affordable, long lasting protection to general and
critical areas, offering a wide range of features and
benefits including:
• High strength waterproof membrane
• Uniform protection to all surfaces applied over
• Fast application, cuts labour time by
minimum 50%
• Immediate waterproof finish
• Same day finish of surface application
• Simpler application than traditional
sheet membranes
• Anti-fracture system
• De-coupling system
• Sound impact insulation

THE GRIPSET GC SYSTEM INCLUDES:Gripset GC sheets - four unique property variants for specific applications.Gripset GC adhesive - specialised adhesive range to fix GC sheets to substratesElastoproof - patented bond breaker detailing, seals critical movement zones
Gripset GC Pro Adhesive:High performance, single part, waterproof bedding compound, used for fixing Gripset GC1 sheet membrane. Outstanding adhesion and high early grab properties, fast drying over porous substrates, ideal for internal applications.
Gripset GC All Purpose Adhesive:Outstanding adhesion and high early grab properties over a broad range of porous and non porous substrates. Designed to fix all Gripset GC Sheet membranes for internal and external applications. Non-hazardous & low odour, and unique properties that allow other Gripset finishes to be applied over while wet.
Elastoproof Bond Breaker System: An integral component in the Gripset GC system: the patented Elastoproof bond breaker, maximises the waterproofing system, ensuring a permanent, elastic seal at all critical movement zones - wall/floor junctions, movement joints and penetrations. Comprising B50 Joint Band, Prefabricated Corners, Collars and Butyl Squares.
GRIPSET GC SYSTEM BARRIERS:Four barrier systems, providing unique, protective properties for different building applications.
