This 1200-gauge DPM is a black polyethylene or plastic membrane sheet that is loose laid and most often used on solid concrete ground floors. It is ideally equipped to safeguard buildings against moisture, rising water and damp from the ground. It offers a reliable barrier to the passage of moisture from the ground, enabling a floor to comply with the national Building Regulation requirements, as long as it is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The item offers robust puncture resistance, protecting against damage from normal foot or site traffic when properly installed on rough or blinded surfaces. Our CE approved 1200 gauge damp proof membrane is manufactured to last the lifetime of the floor construction if it is correctly installed and not damaged by subsequent building operations. The product can be installed as an oversite membrane, between a blinded hard core bed and the base concrete, as a sandwich membrane in base concrete or between the base concrete and screed. DPM must be covered by a screed or other protective layer as soon as possible after installation. Care should be taken to ensure that the membrane is not stretched or displaced when placing the concrete or screed over the membrane. Sufficient allowance should be made to avoid bridging (i.e. creating areas of unsupported membrane) during screeding operations at internal angles, etc. When DPM is used in underfloor heating applications, there will be no adverse impact on the membrane. SUPERIOR MOISTURE BARRIER PROTECTION: Protect building foundations and floors from moisture, rising water, and damp with our 1200-gauge DPM black polyethylene sheet. Essential for ensuring compliance with national Building Regulations, this robust sheet forms an effective barrier when properly installed. ROBUST AND DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Designed to withstand the rigors of construction environments, our heavy-duty DPM features high puncture resistance, making it ideal for use on solid concrete ground floors and under screeds. It ensures long-term protection and stability in various construction settings. VERSATILE INSTALLATION OPTIONS: Our DPM offers flexible installation possibilities, functioning as an oversite membrane, a sandwich layer in base concrete, or directly under screeds. It is engineered for easy handling, facilitating straightforward installation without stretching or displacement. HIGH-QUALITY CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS: Manufactured to endure the lifetime of your floor construction without deterioration, our DPM adheres to CE standards. It provides unmatched stability, strength, and cohesion, making it suitable for both new builds and refurbishment projects. ECO-FRIENDLY AND ECONOMICAL DESIGN: Focused on efficiency and minimal environmental impact, our DPM is extremely economical and designed to reduce waste. It is conveniently packaged folded to 1m for ease of transport and storage and offers high water vapor resistance, accommodating even underfloor heating systems.
