A strategic choice for durability and 10-year warranty
At the heart of the Nova Apartments - Val Gardena 17 project, Giemme adopted the Penetron® System, a solution of excellence for structural waterproofing of basements. This technology, known as the white tank system, provides permanent protection, durability and certified quality of concrete works in contact with the ground.
What is the Penetron system and how it works
The Penetron System represents an evolution in waterproofing methods: it is not a matter of applying sheathing or external membranes, but of waterproofing the concrete itself thanks to a crystallizing additive: Penetron Admix.
Once mixed into the mix, the additive reacts with moisture to form insoluble crystals that seal pores and micro-cracks over time. This reaction occurs throughout the life of the structure, making the protection permanent and self-healing.
The advantages of the Penetron white tank
✅ Durability even in the presence of groundwater and dissolved salts.
✅ Integrated and definitive waterproofing.
✅ No need for sheathing or follow-up treatment
✅ S elf-regeneration of micro-cracks.
✅ Ten-year posthumous policy for the basement.
The Penetron technology adopted by Giemme in the Nova Apartments project now represents a standard of excellence in the real estate sector. Offering underground structures that are safe, guaranteed and free of moisture-related problems means adding concrete value to the real estate investment, improving the quality of life of those who will live there.
