Already massively popular, the new Twistfix Damp Check Mesh Membrane Kit currently features an introductory 10% price discount.

This kit is truly comprehensive, containing a complete selection of materials to enable the creation of an effective, durable barrier against moisture when isolating damp walls from their surrounding internal finishes. Often used after the installation of a remedial damp proof course, the mesh membrane kit can also be used to block damp penetration or to waterproof showers or wet rooms. Incorporating innovative ‘stand-off’ studs and a quality mesh face to accept dot-and-dab dry-lining, cement render or tile adhesive, this waterproofing membrane system is the choice of professionals.

The air-gap membrane is designed to be user-friendly: it bends around corners easily and can be quickly and accurately cut using scissors or a knife. Once installed, the air-gap between each stud will allow the walls to naturally ‘breathe’ while the mesh face will allow water to drain harmlessly away behind. Installation is carried out by drilling anchor holes before securing the membrane tightly to the wall with the use of hammer-in plugs. The joints are then sealed with strong butyl rubber tape before tile, plaster or dot-and-dab plasterboard sheets are applied directly on to the mesh.

As well as a 10m roll of Twistfix tanking membrane featuring air-gap studs, the kit also contains a similar length of butyl waterproofing tape and 100 hammer-in fixing plugs, making it one of the most comprehensive such kits available. Our 10% introductory discount is available for a limited time only so please order now to avoid disappointment.

The call for converting basements continues to grow in popularity as homeowners seek a cost-effective and reliable method of creating extra living space within the home. Basement waterproofing plays an essential part of any cellar conversion project as it is the key factor in eliminating all possibility of water ingress in order to protect the basement and maintain a dry, warm and healthy area.

Being underground, a basement is more susceptible to the possibility of unwanted water ingress. The type of basement system to use is therefore an important consideration as a variety of methods are available.

Cement tanking slurry are one option for a basement tanking solution; it works by blocking water from entering a building under hydrostatic pressure. It is is vital the walls are prepared thoroughly before applying two coats the slurry onto the masonry. Once the final coating has hardened, a coat of plaster is applied to protect the tanking layer from damage in service.

One of the most effective and commonly used system is the installation of waterproofing membrane on the walls and floors of the cellar. This cavity drain membrane effectively seals the area and, behind the scenes, manages the flow of water to an exit drain; providing consistent protection against the damaging consequences of unwanted water entering the home.
