SAMI Layers

STM Sami Schichten

Mission

The SAMI layer (Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer) is used when two layers need to be connected to one another, particularly when the layers are made of two different materials - for example concrete on the bottom and asphalt on the top - as they expand differently when exposed to heat. Does the subsurface have cracks? In this case, too, a SAMI layer is applied so that it cannot expand upwards. And if open-pored asphalt is laid, this serves as drainage and the SAMI layer underneath acts as a seal to the subsurface so that the water can drain away.
