Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this membrane suitable for radon protection?

This product is designed as a damp proof membrane (DPM). Please verify with local building control if specific radon barrier certification is required for your site.

What is the thickness in microns?

The membrane is 250 microns (1000 gauge) thick.

How should I join two pieces of membrane?

Overlap the sheets by at least 150mm and seal the seam thoroughly using high-quality damp-proof tape.

Can I use this for a pond liner?

No, this is a construction-grade DPM and is not rated or UV-stabilized for use as a pond liner.

What tools do I need to cut the membrane?

A sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors are sufficient to cut the polythene.

Troubleshooting

Membrane torn during installation

Patch the area with an extra piece of membrane, ensuring a 150mm overlap and sealing all edges with waterproof tape.

Difficulty keeping the membrane flat

Use heavy objects or specialized site pegs to hold the edges in place until the concrete pour begins.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified BBA approval guarantees quality
  • Thick 250-micron gauge resists punctures
  • Generous 4m width reduces the need for frequent overlapping
  • Reliable protection against rising damp
  • Cost-effective solution for large-scale coverage

Cons

  • Material can be heavy and difficult to maneuver alone
  • Requires proper sealing at edges and joints to be effective
  • Risk of tearing if dragged over sharp debris

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before laying the membrane, clear the site of sharp rocks, rubble, or debris that could puncture the 250-micron plastic. Lay the sheet with enough excess to dress up the walls by at least 150mm to connect with the damp-proof course (DPC). To care for the product, keep rolls stored in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure over long periods can degrade the polyethylene. If a tear occurs during installation, repair it immediately with a piece of matching membrane, overlapping the damaged area by at least 150mm on all sides and securing with appropriate jointing tape.
