Damp floor?

Need a waterproof flooring membrane?

Need to lay flooring finish before the underlying structure is dry?

Damp floors are the result of many different factors, tears in the damp proof course, high humidity levels in the building or increased water pressure on the structure. 

Solution:

Where there is water ingress then BBA certified Newton System 500 should be used incorporating Newton Basedrain and our Newton Titan pump range (please see turning basements - cellars into habitable rooms).

If no water penetration is evident and the structure is above ground then the BBA certified Newton 501 Slimline Flooring Membrane can be used. This is a tough resistant membrane that allows damp to move through the structure whilst giving a dry and slightly cushioned surface. It has a greater capacity of vapor resistance than traditional damp proofing membrane systems and can withstand scratches and grazes from rough screed.

Screeded floors and many newly built structures have variable drying times and it is difficult to ascertain when they are completely dry to accept flooring finishes. With Newton 501 Slimline flooring membrane the problem is eradicated as the flooring membrane allows the screed beneath to achieve vapor equalization whilst allowing the floor finish to be laid directly above it on a dry surface. The result is a dry floor with the added benefits of giving good thermal and sound resistance.
