GEOTEX External Waterproofing Membrane
Geotex is a twin-layered cavity drain membrane designed to manage ground water to the land drain, relieving pressure from the structure. In below-ground waterproofing applications, the primary function of Geotex is to divert water away from the structure. It can also act as a barrier against ground gases, like Radon and methane.
Geotex is typically used to isolate and protect the structure from the surrounding soil and relieve hydrostatic pressure by promoting the low of ground water away from the face of the structure.
Geotex provides excellent protection from root penetration, and can also increase the structure’s thermal insulation.
KEY BENEFITS
- Suitable for use with all construction types
- Drains off water before reaching the waterproof coating
- Combined drainage and protection board
- Easy handling, rapid installation
- Rugged, durable construction with thermal insulation benefits
- Filtration layer prevents silting-up
- High drainage capacity
- Allows back-filling with excavated earth
- Withstands stress and movement in the background
CM8 - 8mm Waterproofing membrane
For use on walls, floors, vaults and tunnels with minimal surface preparation required. Also suitable for external foundation waterproofing and to provide insulated dry lining for walls above ground level that may not be suitable for conventional plaster finishes
CM8 is a medium capacity drainage membrane (4 litres/m2) for floors and walls both above and below ground level. When used on basement floors it is recommended that perimeter drainage channels are provided to optimise the low of ground water towards the sump location (see separate data sheet ‘Wykamol Drainage Solutions’).
CM8 is used in a dry lining application. Various systems can be used in the head of the fixing plug, from timber battens to steel dry lining systems. This membrane is easy to roll out against wall and floor structures and can be fixed in horizontal lengths or in vertical strips.
This is the most popular membrane in basement waterproofing due to its universal ease of use.
KEY BENEFITS
- Can create a dry habitable living space in areas previously suffering from damp/wet conditions
- Little to no damage to existing structure
- Quick to install: minimal preparation needed to wall surfaces, avoiding mess and saving time and money
- Easy to bend and cut with scissors to form around windows, doors, services etc.
- No delays to decoration as there is no drying process
- Waterproof, salt resistant, root resistant and contaminant resistant
- Low and high temperature tolerance
CM20 High Capacity Waterproofing Membrane
For use on walls, floors, vaults and tunnels with minimal surface preparation required. Also suitable for external foundation waterproofing and to provide insulated dry lining for walls above ground level that may not be suitable for conventional plaster finishes.
SureProof New build Waterproofing Membrane
SureProof is a high performance, cold applied, flexible waterproof membrane incorporating a cross-laminated HDPE carrier film with a strong adhesive polymer modified bitumen compound. The adhesive surface is protected by a disposable paper interleaving, wider than the membrane for easy release during application. To ensure correct sealing at overlaps there is a double-sided adhesive strip along the edges covered by a separate interleaving strip
KONTRACT MESH Plaster Membrane
Kontract Mesh is suitable for use in accordance with BS 8102:1990 to provide Type ‘C’ drained protection to structures below ground giving a Grade 3 or 4 dry environment suitable for domestic or commercial use.
SLIMLINE MESH Plaster Membrane
Slimline Mesh is a high density polyethylene membrane incorporating 3mm studs which allows the isolation of wet walls above and below ground. It incorporates a tough HDPE mesh lathing welded to the front face to allow the direct application of various plaster finishes or adhesive ‘dabs’ and plasterboard.
CM FLOOR Waterproofing Membrane
For use on walls, floors, vaults and tunnels with minimal surface preparation required. Also suitable for external foundation waterproofing and to provide insulated dry lining for walls above ground level that may not be suitable for conventional plaster finishes
ECO mesh Waterproofing
Impermeable and resistant to the usual chemicals in the building construction. Studs are formed in a regular pattern on one face of the product, with a polypropylene mesh on the other side.
YELLOW mesh Waterproofing Membrane
Impermeable and resistant to the usual chemicals in the building construction. Studs are formed in a regular pattern on one face of the product, with a polypropylene mesh on the other side.
Kontract mesh Waterproofing Membrane
Providing Type ‘C’ drain protection to structures below ground, giving a Grade 3 or 4 dry environment, suitable for domestic or commercial use.
Traditional methods of basement waterproofing such as cement based renders, often referred to as ‘basement tanking’ have become are becoming less reliable as water table levels have risen and increased hydrostatic pressure on properties.
