Pam Mesh 3 is a cost-effective tanking membrane manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This mesh faced damp proofing membrane has 3mm studs formed on one face of the product, which are spaced at 20mm centres in both directions. It has a polypropylene mesh welded to the other side, which forms a key for plastering or ‘dot and dab’ dry lining.
This semi-transparent tanking membrane is robust but pliable and can be easily bent around corners and cut with a knife or scissors. It is quick and easy to install:
- Fix at 250-300mm centres using mesh membrane plugs fitted into an 8mm hole.
- Seal joints with butyl rubber waterproofing tape
- Plaster, tile or dot and dab plasterboard sheets directly onto the mesh face.
This low-cost tanking membrane is ideal for:
- Plastering after the insertion of a damp-proof course, where it is necessary to plaster the walls without allowing a period for initial drying
- Wet rooms and showers
- Difficult to treat areas of dampness or contamination (disused chimney breasts, high external ground levels, etc.)
Pam Mesh 3 has an overall thickness of 3.5mm with ample air gap between studs to allow walls to breathe or drain.
