Water Management Systems: Tanking Membranes
High density polyethylene membranes provide an air gap between the membrane and the wall, which allows any free water to run behind it. The membrane is mechanically fixed to the original sound wall surfaces, usually with treated batterns or other framing systems, on which plasterboard can be fixed.
With the introduction of the latest British Standard 8102 (1990) "protection of structures against water from the ground", the use of cavity membranes has been generally accepted in the UK. Good quality membrane systems can easily deal with aggressive ground water conditions, where basements are liable to flooding, or indeed where simple dampness, contamination or salting problems are prevalent.
