Horizon Finish
The Horizon Foundation Finishing System brings new levels of moisture and insulation protection to a formerly neglected area of the foundation from grade line to the sill plate.
There Are Two Options For The Horizon Finish:
Type One
The Horizon finish can be applied on either an existing home or a new home in the parging area. This is done by using a prime coat, and them installing the Horizon finish.
Type Two
Full wall waterproofing system, this consists of a three-part barrier system that starts with TUFF-N-DRI Basement Waterproofing System on the exterior foundation wall, providing an uninterrupted moisture barrier that protects from the footing to the sill plate, install Warm-n-Dri board fiber insulation board on the exterior foundation walls below grade, and install ThermoPanel fiber insulation drainage board with a built-in mesh above grade, complete it with the Horizon finish.




There Are Two More Options For The Horizon Finish:
Option 1
Works really well on both new and existing homes. The Horizon finish works well on existing or older homes that have traditional parging cracked or falling off and in need of repair or resurfacing. With the Horizon finish, not only does it have curb side appeal, it also provides a waterproofing membrane.
Option 2
When you go with the full system, the foundation wall is fully waterproofed with a rubberized membrane and insulated on the exterior foundation wall from the footing to the sill plate and the Horizon finish is a rubberized waterproofing membrane that is installed above grade in place of traditional concrete parging.
Benefits Of Insulating The Foundation Wall On The Exterior:
- Maximizes the energy efficiency, and helps to fulfill Energy Star Home Sealing qualifications.
- You can increase the R-value of the foundation walls up to at least R12
- A full system helps minimize the interior condensation, basement walls stay warmer and drier.
- The ThermoPanel insulates the exterior foundation wall above grade, while the Warm-n-Dri board insulates and drains water below grade, making your basement warm and dry.

Here Is What People Are Saying

Dear Steve,
I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the work you did on my basement in August 2006. I was very impressed with the level of professionalism and workmanship that you showed.
There is no doubt that your hard work and honesty will come back to you in many ways. I, for one, have no reservations in recommending Membranix to others that need your type of expertise.

Dear Ms Bourgeois:
This letter is in response to the repair done to the crack in my foundation. I was very impressed with your knowledge and your professional attitude from the initial telephone contact to the consultation on what work would be required. The repair was not only completed in a short period of time, it was a first-rate job! I would not hesitate to recommend your company to others.

To whom it may concern:
Over the past eight years, I have worked on numerous projects which involve damproofing, waterproofing and specialty applications to new foundation walls, as well as repairs of faults and/or cracks of existing walls. In order to affect a suitable and long lasting repair I have called upon the expertise of Stephen and Kristi Bourgeois of
Membranix exclusively in this area. My experience with other companies before this had proven to be frustrating, to say the least. From the moment of our first meeting, it has been apparent that I am dealing with knowledgeable people who take their jobs and reputation seriously. They consistently use high quality products as an insurance of lasting and effective results. They are prompt, efficient and deliver prices which are
competitive.
In short, it has been and continues to be a pleasure working with both Stephen and Kristi and I look forward to a long professional partnership with them for years to come.
Should you wish to discuss the matter further, please do not hesitate to call.

Last June it was brought to my attention that a portion of the exterior foundation wall of my then premises in Stittsville had two cracks requiring repair. Not having been in a situation such as this before, I contacted Joe Tegano (a family friend) of Joe Tegano Construction and asked who the best company would be for such a repair. He, in turn, asked various construction company personnel and consistently Membranix was the name repeated over and over again. Needless to say I contacted them immediately.
On meeting with the owner the next day, it was agreed the work would be performed over a weekend. The work was labour intensive and took two full days to complete in very hot humid weather. The Membranix employee who did the actual repair was courteous, conscientious and a very hard worker. He was thorough and left the premises very clean which I appreciated as I was about to put my home on the market. I was also impressed that over the weekend the owner of Membranix stopped by to see how the job was progressing. This demonstrated again how conscientious the staff is of Membranix.
One of the conditions of selling my home was that the warranty for the repair be transferrable to the new owner which, after verifying with me, was completed and forwarded immediately upon the sale of my home. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Membranix to anyone who requires this kind of repair. The job was completed to my full satisfaction at a very reasonable cost.

I am writing a note to express how pleased I was with the work Membranix did at our house. After consulting with a few specialized foundation companies, Steve was the first one to come up with an innovative solution that fitted our needs: Not only Steve came up with the perfect solution for our 90 year-old house, the work started on time and finished on time. He respected the specifications of the statement of work and the estimate was on target. Also, during the 3 weeks they were here, Steve was able to suggest other improvements to be done on our house. He always gave us the opportunity to have the extra work done or not - never any pressure was put on us. I did recommend some friends to go with Membranix and will continue in the future.
Thank you Membranix.
