CHOOSING YOUR WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE Which Damp Proof Membrane Do I Need?

Different membrane types are designed for different building situations, so choosing the correct membrane is essential.

P2 mesh membranes are designed for suitable internal wall damp proofing where a compatible plaster or dry-lining finish is required.

Mesh-faced membranes provide a surface that can act as a mechanical key for approved plaster and lining systems.

P8 tanking membrane is a studded cavity drain membrane that may form part of a properly designed basement waterproofing system.

P20 membrane is listed for suitable basement flooring applications where cavity drainage, water management and the final floor construction have been considered.

The correct product depends on the moisture source, expected water exposure, structure, required finish and waterproofing design.

Quick Membrane Selection
  • P2: suitable wall damp proofing
  • Mesh 3: compatible plaster finishes
  • 8mm mesh: specified basement walls
  • P8: basement cavity drain systems
  • P20: specified basement flooring
  • Check membrane roll area
  • Allow for overlaps and waste
  • Select compatible tapes and fixings
  • Plan drainage where required
BASEMENT WATERPROOFING EXPLAINED How Do Studded Cavity Drain Membranes Work?

Studded cavity drain membranes form part of a Type C drained protection system when used in a suitably designed below-ground waterproofing installation.

The studded profile creates a controlled space between the building substrate and the internal membrane surface.

Where water is expected, the system must include appropriately designed drainage arrangements to collect and remove that water.

Those arrangements may include perimeter channels and a sump pump where gravity drainage is unavailable.

Waterproofing performance depends on the complete system, including correct junctions, sealed fixings, drainage and maintenance.

A Complete Type C System May Include:
  • Suitable wall membranes
  • Suitable floor membranes
  • System-approved jointing tape
  • Sealed membrane fixings
  • Perimeter drainage channels
  • Inspection and cleaning points
  • Sump chamber and pump where required
  • High-water alarm and backup provisions
  • Planned servicing and maintenance
MEMBRANE APPLICATIONS Wall Membranes vs Basement Floor Membranes

Wall membranes and floor membranes are not automatically interchangeable.

Wall membranes may be selected for their fixing system, drainage profile and compatibility with internal wall finishes.

Mesh-faced wall products provide a key for approved plaster or render systems.

Floor membranes require consideration of expected loading, floor construction, drainage, compressive performance and the specified finish.

Our P20 product range is marketed for suitable basement flooring projects, but the final floor design must be checked before installation.

Always use the membrane approved for your intended application and complete waterproofing system.

Considerations for Every Project
  • Above-ground or below-ground use
  • Source and severity of water ingress
  • Wall or floor installation
  • Water drainage requirements
  • Compatible fixings and sealing
  • Plaster, screed or dry-lining finish
  • Floor loads and substrate condition
  • Relevant waterproofing standards
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION ADVICE How to Plan a Damp Proof Membrane Installation

The exact installation procedure depends on the membrane type and waterproofing system specification.

01
Assess the Moisture Problem

Identify the cause of dampness or water ingress before choosing a membrane. Address underlying defects where necessary.

02
Choose the Correct Membrane

Select the membrane specified for the wall or floor, expected water exposure and intended finishing system.

03
Prepare the Substrate

Remove loose material, unsuitable organic finishes and sharp projections as required. Repair deteriorated surfaces before fitting.

04
Fix or Lay the Membrane

Use system-approved fixing methods and correct membrane orientation. Floor membranes must follow the specified support and loading requirements.

05
Seal Joints & Details

Complete overlaps, corners, penetrations and wall-to-floor junctions using compatible tapes, seals and detailing.

06
Finish & Maintain

Apply the approved plaster, lining or floor construction. Where drainage systems are fitted, provide access for inspection and maintenance.

Below-Ground Waterproofing Design

Basement waterproofing should be designed for site-specific groundwater conditions, structural movement, drainage arrangements and intended use.

Refer to the applicable edition of BS 8102 and seek competent specialist advice where required.

A membrane alone does not guarantee protection from flooding or resolve active underlying structural defects.

MEMBRANE QUESTIONS ANSWERED Damp Proof & Basement Membrane FAQs

Common questions about P2, P8 and P20 membranes, mesh-faced membranes and basement waterproofing.

What is a damp proof membrane?

A damp proof membrane is a barrier or waterproofing component used to manage moisture in suitable building assemblies. Different membranes have different intended applications.

What is a mesh-faced damp proof membrane?

A mesh-faced membrane has a reinforcing mesh on one face that provides a mechanical key for compatible plaster, render or lining systems.

What is P2 damp proof membrane used for?

The P2 range is marketed for suitable above-ground wall damp proofing and internal renovation applications requiring a compatible finishing system.

What size is the P2 membrane?

The supplied P2 products include 1m x 5m and 1m x 10m rolls, giving nominal areas of 5m² and 10m² respectively.

What is the 1m x 20m mesh membrane?

This is PAM Mesh 3, a studded HDPE wall membrane with a polypropylene mesh facing for approved finishing systems. Its nominal roll area is 20m².

Can mesh membranes be plastered?

Suitable mesh-faced membranes can receive compatible plaster or render finishes following the membrane manufacturer's instructions and finishing requirements.

What is P8 tanking membrane?

P8 is a studded membrane marketed for basement and cellar waterproofing, including appropriate Type C cavity drain systems.

How much area does a P8 roll cover?

The listed P8 roll measures 2m x 20m, equivalent to 40m² before overlaps and cutting waste.

What is P20 floor membrane used for?

P20 is a cavity drain membrane range marketed for suitable basement flooring and below-ground water-management applications.

What P20 membrane sizes are available?

The supplied product list includes nominal 20m² and 40m² packages, plus a ten-roll pack containing 2m x 10m rolls.

Can I use wall membrane on a floor?

Only where the membrane manufacturer approves the specific product for the intended floor loading and construction. Wall and floor membranes are not automatically interchangeable.

Do cavity drain membranes need a sump pump?

Some basement systems require pumped drainage, while others can use suitable gravity drainage. The requirement depends on site-specific water management and system design.

Do membrane joints need sealing?

Many systems require compatible tapes and seals at overlaps, fixing points and other details. Follow the membrane manufacturer's approved jointing method.

Can damp proof membranes be used in cellars?

Certain cavity drain membranes are specifically marketed for cellar and basement applications. A suitable below-ground waterproofing design is essential.

Are damp proof membranes suitable for chimney breasts?

Some mesh-faced membranes can be used in suitably assessed contaminated or damp chimney breast applications. Check the source of moisture, salts and finishing requirements.

Will a membrane cure rising damp?

A membrane can isolate an internal finish from suitable moisture conditions but does not, by itself, remove an underlying source of water ingress.

What is the cheapest membrane on this page?

The P2 Damp Proof Membrane 1m x 5m is listed at £36 and is the lowest-priced individual product in this selection.

Are the prices per roll or per pack?

Prices are for the product configuration listed. Some items are individual rolls, while the larger P20 product is a ten-roll pack.
