BASEMENT MEMBRANES

A waterproof basement membrane is a crucial component in ensuring a dry and safe basement environment. It is designed to prevent moisture, dampness and water ingress from entering the basement.

 

There are several types of waterproof membranes that are commonly used in the UK, including:

  1. Cementitious Tanking: This is a type of waterproofing system that involves applying a cement-based coating to the walls and floor of the basement. This coating creates a waterproof barrier that prevents water from penetrating through the walls and floor.

  2. Liquid Applied Membranes: These are liquid-based coatings that are applied to the walls and floor of the basement using a brush or roller. Once applied, the membrane forms a continuous, waterproof layer that prevents moisture and water ingress.

  3. Sheet Membranes: This type of waterproofing system involves the use of pre-formed sheets that are applied to the walls and floor of the basement. These sheets are made from a variety of materials, including bitumen, PVC, and butyl rubber.

DELTA MEMBRANE SYSTEM 

One of the most popular waterproofing systems used in the UK is the Delta Membrane system. This system consists of a range of membranes and ancillary products that are designed to provide a comprehensive and effective waterproofing solution for basements. The Delta Membrane system is made up of a high-density polyethylene membrane, which is highly resistant to water, chemicals, and mechanical damage.

The most common materials used for waterproof basement membranes include bitumen, PVC, butyl rubber, and high-density polyethylene. These materials are preferred for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to water and chemicals. Bitumen is a popular choice for tanking systems, while PVC and butyl rubber are commonly used for liquid applied and sheet membranes. High-density polyethylene is used in the Delta Membrane system, where high levels of resistance to water and chemicals are required.

At Northstar Basements, we use a range of different waterproofing methods, depending on the project size and location. To discuss how we can help you with a new waterproof basement enquiry, contact us today by calling 020 3092 4846 and we can discuss you project in detail on no-obligation basis.
