DAMP PROOF MEMBRANEVisqueen ECOMEMBRANE ®——Independently accredited by BRE Certification Ltd, Certification No.112/04.——Manufactured from 100% post-use polyethylene, diverting more waste from landfill.——High tear resistance helps reduce damage during installation.——Does not compromise on traditional DPM performance.——Comprehensive range to satisfy most site conditions.DescriptionVisqueen EcoMembrane ® DPM is ablown film of extruded low-densitypolyethylene for use as a Type “A” dampproof membrane as defined by BS EN13967: 2004. It is manufactured from100% post-use waste, is black in colourand available in 250μm, 300μm and500μm thicknesses. EcoMembrane ®has been independently accredited byBRE Certification Ltd (Certificate No.112/04).Applications and useVisqueen EcoMembrane ® DPM issuitable for use in concrete floors, inaccordance with clause 11 of CP 102:1973, where there may be capillaryrise of moisture but not where it maybe subject to hydrostatic pressure. Insuch a circumstance, Visqueen TankingMembranes should be used.Where there is a risk that the groundmay be waterlogged, sub-soil drainage inaccordance with CP 102 and BS 8102should be provided.The effectiveness of EcoMembrane ® willbe reduced if it is exposed to sunlighteither during storage or when in use.Under normal operating conditions,Visqueen EcoMembrane ® DPM can beused in conjunction with underfloorheating, although follow the advice ofVisqueen’s Technical Support Service.As indicated in paragraph 4.8 of BuildingRegulations Approved Document C, jointsin the membrane are sealed using theVisqueen DPM Jointing System.INSTALLATIONInstallation guideLinesVisqueen EcoMembrane ® DPM mustbe installed in accordance with BRECertificate No.112/04 and thefollowing guidelines.Preparation for layingthe membraneEven though Visqueen EcoMembrane ®has a high puncture resistance to normalfoot and site traffic, care should be takento avoid accidental damage on site.Similarly, where the base is uneven, ablinding of soft sand of a thickness thatwill cover all sharp projections should beused to avoid damage to the membranewhen it is being installed, and when theconcrete or screed is being laid.Jointing the EcoMembrane ®Adjacent sheets of the membrane shouldbe overlapped by at least 150mm andbonded using Visqueen Double SidedJointing Tape. The joint should then besealed using 100mm wide Visqueen GirthTape. The membrane should be clean anddry at the time of jointing.26FOR MAINTAINING CONTINUITY,PUNCTURES AND SERVICE PIPEPENETRATIONS, PLEASE SEE OURINSTALLATION SECTION P83.CoveringVisqueen EcoMembrane ® should becovered by a protective layer (such asVisqueen Protection Boards) as soon aspossible after installation.The membrane should be sufficientlyloosely laid against upstands to ensurethat the membrane is not stretched ordisplaced when applying the screed orconcrete. A minimum thickness of 50mmscreed is recommended.When reinforced concrete is to belaid over the membrane, the wirereinforcements or spacers mustbe prevented from contacting themembrane. It is recommended that themembrane be covered with VisqueenProtection Board or 50mm screed priorto placing the reinforcements.When underfloor heating is to beinstalled, Visqueen recommend that thebarrier is positioned between the blindedhardcore and the insulation to protectthe installation from moisture and toavoid any risk of overheatingthe membrane.
