Linings for Keeping Damp Walls Dry
An essential part of any damp proofing project includes installing watertight barriers that isolate wet walls from internal plasterwork and decoration after introducing a chemical damp proof course (DPC). As an expert supplier of a comprehensive range of professional damp-proofing products, you can, of course, rely on Twistfix to supply you with everything you need.
Wykamol CM3 Mesh Membrane
Damp and salt-contaminated walls can cause damage to internal surface finishes: CM3 mesh membrane from top brand Wykamol offers the solution. The effective damp proof membrane is crafted from premium-quality HDPE (High-Density PolyEthylene) and incorporates low-profile suds on one side. The reverse comprises a polypropylene mesh that provides a secure mechanical key for subsequent render, plaster or plasterboard dry lining.
CM3 mesh membrane combines high strength and durability with pliable flexibility to make it easy to work with: all you need to cut the membrane to the required size is a standard utility knife or pair of shears. In addition to providing a surface isolated from dampness and salts, this innovative tanking membrane is also suitable for use in bathrooms, showers, and wetrooms and for use as a moisture-proof barrier to support external render.
ISO-THERM Internal Wall Insulation
Specially made from woven polyester, this efficient wall insulation material offers exceptionally high thermal benefit. The material is vapour permeable yet completely waterproof, preventing the lateral transfer of damp and thus protecting internal finishes, putting a halt to efflorescent salt formation.
Though especially strong and reliable, ISO-THERM is just 4mm in thickness and is extremely lightweight. The material is installed rapidly and easily with little disruption: skirtings, door architraves, and other features usually remain in place during installation. Finishing the job involves adding a plaster skim.
Each purchase of ISO-THERM insulating material comes complete with the specialist adhesive required for successful installation.
