Application

Combined ground floor damp proof membrane and gas barrier.

Description

A four-layer, low density polyethylene membrane reinforcing grid with an integral aluminium foil, typically used as a low density, polyethylene gas barrier and damp proof membrane in concrete floors above and below the slab.


Features and benefits:

  • Manufactured from virgin material, not recycled waste.
  • Separate damp proof membrane not required.
  • Robust jointing and sealing system.
  • Welded joints possible.
  • Single wound membrane with zero creases.
  • Two colour membrane for on-site quality control.
  • Suitable for use where radon, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrocarbon vapours are present.
  • Complies with latest codes of practice as published by CIRIA and BRE.
  • Conforms to BS 8485:2015.
  • CE marked.


Accessories:

A range of accessories are available (specified separately):

  • RIW Gas Seal GR DPC: Gas resistant damp proof course/ cavity tray, 450, 600 or 900 mm wide.
  • RIW Gas Seal Pipe Collar: Pre-fabricated ‘top-hats' for sealing around pipe penetrations. Available in 100, 130 and 160 mm diameters.
  • RIW Gas Seal Tape: Double-sided self-adhesive butyl tape, 50 mm wide, for sealing between overlaps in the membrane.
