Enka Technology 3 D Mats- Ventilation, Drainage, Sound and Spacing Solutions

The Enkadrain product family consists of a range of drainage composites comprising a polymer drainage core connected to a protective and filtering nonwoven on one or both sides. Enkadrain can be used in a variety of horizontal and vertical applications, combining drainage, protection and filtration in one product.

Enkadrain’s extensive range includes a large number of product types, each having properties tailored for specific applications. Although the primary application is drainage, some Enkadrain types have also proven themselves as a cost-effective vibration control layer, as well as for hydrostatic pressure relief

Enka® engineered 3D Mats are made with continuous polymer filaments that are arranged in a specific shape and size. The filaments are fused at the intersections resulting in a very open and resilient 3D mat structure. They are open, flexible, lightweight and durable!

Enka® Technology For over 40 years, Enka® engineered 3D Mats remain on the technology forefront. Well-known for high quality, reliability and performance, these 3D Mats are used in a multitude of Building and Industrial applications. Enka® Technology provides a rich set of parameters, meeting the needs of many specific industries.

Enka's Multiple Configurations Solve Multiple Challenges

Properties and capabilities can be engineered to produce various 3D profiles, combinations and thicknesses - meeting custom specifications for strength, flexibility, air and moisture flow and compressibility. For increased functionalities, additional fabrics and foils can be bonded to one or both sides.

Building Envelope Solutions

Enka® engineered 3D Mat solutions are designed to control the effects of water, air, thermal radiation and sound and are suitable for single and multistory residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Solutions for roofs, sidewalls, foundation walls and floors improve energy-usage, moisture damage, building maintenance and, ultimately, the well-being of a building’s inhabitants.
