Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this membrane suitable for basement walls?

This product is primarily designed for floor slabs. For vertical wall applications, please verify against local building control requirements for tanking systems.

What is the thickness of this membrane?

The Timco Toughsheet Damp Proof Membrane is 250 microns thick.

Can I use this under floor heating systems?

Yes, it acts as a base layer; however, ensure it is installed beneath the screed or insulation layer as specified by your underfloor heating manufacturer.

How should I seal the joints between sheets?

You should use a high-quality, moisture-resistant damp-proof membrane jointing tape to seal all overlaps.

Is this membrane UV stable for long-term outdoor use?

No, it is intended to be protected by a screed or flooring layer. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and weather should be avoided.

What is the total coverage of one pack?

Each pack covers 20 square meters (4m x 5m).

Troubleshooting

Accidental puncture or tear during installation

Apply a generous piece of professional-grade damp-proof membrane tape over the affected area, ensuring a wide overlap on all sides of the tear.

Membrane shifting during concrete pour

Use temporary weights or securing stakes at the edges to keep the sheet taut before concrete application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified BBA quality assurance
  • Made from 100% recycled materials
  • Easy to cut and maneuver for smaller jobs
  • High-performance 250-micron moisture resistance
  • Suitable for both professional and DIY use

Cons

  • Fixed 4m x 5m size may require multiple sheets for large areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before laying the Toughsheet, ensure the substrate is free from sharp objects, debris, or jagged concrete protrusions that could tear the film. When installing, roll the sheet out across the area, ensuring an overlap of at least 150mm between adjacent sections. Secure the joints using a high-quality damp-proof membrane tape to create a continuous, airtight, and watertight seal. The membrane is compatible with most standard concrete screeds and sub-flooring types. For long-term care, ensure that the membrane remains undisturbed during the installation of floor joists or concrete pouring. Once covered, the membrane is maintenance-free, provided it was installed without any unsealed punctures.
