Heavy Duty Black Polythene Sheet - DPM 300 Mu - 1200 Gauge - 4 Metre x 25 Metre

Product Information

One micron is smaller than a bacteria cell – which isn’t a very helpful scale, considering most of us don’t have a microscope! Tyvek AirGuard Reflective Vapour Barrier 50m x 1.5m: A high-performance, reflective vapour barrier designed to improve thermal efficiency and control condensation in buildings.

These 1200 gauge DPMs from Capital Valley Plastics are designed to prevent moisture from the ground entering a property. The low density polythene sheets create a barrier between a concrete slab or screed and the final flooring finish. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of internal building conditions, the Visqueen Vapour Barrier DPM can be used within roofs, walls, and floors, making it a valuable addition to your construction project.It can also be used for general DIY and redecoration projects, especially to cover items which require a higher level of protection. If undamaged, it is suitable for reusing again. Extra heavy-duty polythene (1000+ gauge) When DPM is used in underfloor heating applications, there will be no adverse impact on the membrane.

Is the Visqueen Vapour Barrier suitable for both residential and commercial buildings? Yes, the Visqueen Vapour Barrier is versatile and can be used within roof, wall, and floor constructions in both residential (such as timber frame housing) and commercial buildings. Damplas Damp Proof Course Membrane is Manufactured to last the lifetime of the Floor Construction when correctly installed.Can the Visqueen Vapour Barrier be used with underfloor heating systems? Yes, the Visqueen Vapour Barrier can be used with underfloor heating systems. However, it is essential to follow proper installation guidelines and ensure that the barrier is continuous and properly sealed at all joints and penetrations. It is ideally equipped to safeguard buildings against moisture, rising water and damp from the ground. In addition to its adept moisture management capabilities, the Novia 1200 VCL acts as a highly efficient barrier against air leakage, effectively preventing undesired convection flows. To ensure a durable and resilient vapour seal, it is advisable to use this Novia 1200 VCL in conjunction with Novia's compatible butyl and foil sealing tapes throughout its operational lifespan. Features & Benefits: Novia Polythene Vapour Control Layer 1200 Gauge - 4m x 25m Roll

Our CE approved 1200 gauge damp proof membrane is manufactured to last the lifetime of the floor construction if it is correctly installed and not damaged by subsequent building operations. Installation Complexity: Proper installation of the Visqueen Vapour Barrier requires adherence to the recommendations of BS5250: 2002 ‘Code of practice for control of condensation in buildings’, and may necessitate the use of various tapes and accessories to ensure a continuous and properly sealed barrier.Can the Visqueen Vapour Barrier be used in high humidity environments? The Visqueen Vapour Barrier is designed for use in environments with humidity levels less than 60% at 20 degrees Celsius (BS5250: 2002 class 2 and 3 conditions), making it less suitable for buildings with higher humidity levels or more demanding conditions. To be Compliant with Current Building Regulations Damp Course should be Built into the Mortar Bed approximately 150mm above Structure Base

A DPM (damp proof membrane) is a plastic sheet membrane that sits between a concrete slab or screed, and acts as a barrier to stop moisture and contaminants entering a property from the ground. When can a DPM be installed? What accessories are recommended for use with the Visqueen Vapour Barrier? To ensure airtightness, the following high-performance components are recommended for use with the Visqueen Vapour Barrier:As the word “duty” implies, each range has a usage application, ranging from very light use, like a garment separator sheet – to super heavy applications, like a membrane sheet for use in the construction industry.
