SHEET SOLUTION Drybase Flex Membrane from Safeguard, specialist in damp- proofing and waterproofing technology, is the latest product in the company’s Drybase Damp-Proof Coatings range and is designed for direct application to floors and walls that have been affected by dampness and salt contamination; and when it is not possible to stop the damp at its source.
Safeguard’s Drybase Damp-Proof Coatings range offers a wide range of practical solutions and applications when it is difficult to create or reinstate damp-proof courses or tackle penetrating damp because of, for example, access issues.
A watertight, low-profile sheet membrane solution to the problem of persistent damp, Drybase Flex Membrane is a highly durable and flexible means of protection against moisture ingress, which can be quickly and easily applied to walls, using specially-formulated Drybase Flex Adhesive.
One considerable advantage of this installation technique to the contractor, is that it removes the need for power tools and the health and safety concerns of noise, dust and vibration associated with them.
The membrane is a 1.5mm thick, flexible polypropylene sheet, with a fleeced surface on both sides and can be plastered or tiled onto directly. The two fleeces ensure good adhesion to the wall through the adhesive, as well as the direct application of plaster.
The flexibility of the product allows for building movement without its integrity being compromised.
The Drybase Damp-Proof Coatings range from Safeguard Europe is designed for use when it is not possible to protect building materials and interior surfaces from the sources of dampness, like rain penetration or rising damp. A collection of damp-proof coverings, coatings and membranes; the range aims to provide solutions to a wide range of dampness issues, whether in small residential properties through to larger industrial facilities.
