Product Information
Full details
The Wykamol Dampstop Membrane Kit is a professional-grade solution for homeowners and contractors looking to effectively manage dampness and salt contamination on interior walls. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable, 3mm-thick barrier that allows for rapid redecoration and prevents moisture from reaching surface finishes, though it requires precise installation to ensure a complete moisture-proof seal across the entire surface area.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I apply paint directly to the membrane?
No, the membrane is designed to be covered by plasterboard or render. It is not a decorative finish.
Does this kit include everything needed?
The kit includes the membrane, fixing plugs, and sealing tape. You will need standard tools like a drill and a hammer for installation.
Is this suitable for external use?
No, this product is specifically designed for internal damp-proofing applications.
How do I handle internal corners?
Cut the membrane to length and fold it into the corner, ensuring you maintain a continuous seal with the wall-to-wall overlap.
Can I use dot and dab on this membrane?
Yes, the studded design is specifically engineered to provide a key for plasterboard adhesive, making it ideal for dot and dab installations.
Troubleshooting
Membrane feels loose after fixing
Ensure that the fixing plugs are installed deep enough into the masonry and verify that you have used a sufficient number of plugs across the surface area.
Visible moisture at the edges of the wall
Check that the sealing tape was applied correctly across all seams and overlaps; add additional sealing tape if any gaps are detected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the wall surface is relatively level and free of protruding debris. Measure the wall height and cut the membrane accordingly. Secure the sheet using the provided fixing plugs, ensuring that overlaps between sheets are sealed tightly with the included sealing tape to maintain a moisture-proof environment. For care, once the membrane is covered by plasterboard or render, it requires no maintenance. Ensure that the building's exterior drainage is working correctly, as this membrane is designed to manage existing wall moisture, not to act as a primary drainage system for large-scale water ingress. Always handle the rolls with care to avoid punctures in the 3mm material.
