For apartment owners and strata managers, a leaking planter box may appear a minor issue… but like any leak, it can cause major havoc – and costly damage – if left unchecked.

Here’s the Danrae Group guide to planter boxes – and how to ensure your planter box doesn’t damage your property… or diminish its value.

Obviously, there are abundant varieties and styles of planter boxes and most will be perfectly suitable for your strata property or luxury home. There are a few key considerations in planter box waterproofing.

Planter boxes require adequate drainage, which should be part of any well-designed waterproofing solution. And while most plants are fine, avoid those with aggressive root systems.

Our choice of membrane may depend on location and property type, but in all cases you will need a root resistant membrane such as Torch-On Modified Bitumen or elastomeric sheet – either PVC, TPO, Butynol or rubber.

Danrae Group stands apart with end to end waterproofing solutions – from diagnostic to post-project preventative maintenance – and with our skilled in-house waterproofers and tradies.

Looking after a planter box will help ensure your quality waterproofing lasts the distance. And by acting at the first indicator of a leak, you can treat your waterproofing issue before it magnifies.
