Is the membrane suitable for use with underfloor heating?

Yes, it is compatible with underfloor heating systems, provided it is installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines and protected from damage.

How do I seal the overlaps?

How long does the Yuzet DPM last?

Troubleshooting

Moisture is penetrating through the membrane.

Check for any punctures, tears, or inadequate overlaps. Repair or replace the damaged sections, ensuring proper sealing.

Difficulties in handling and laying the membrane.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Use appropriate tools for cutting and sealing. For larger areas, consider working in manageable sections.

Adhesive tape is not sticking to the membrane.

Make sure the membrane surface is clean and dry before applying the tape. Use a tape specifically designed for DPMs, and apply firm pressure.
