Newtonite damp-proofing system for brickwork, stonework or mortar

Newton Newtonite is a high-quality damp-proofing membrane for use above the ground as an alternative to Newton Newtonite Lath mesh membrane where a meshed surface is not required as a surface for direct plastering or rendering, typically where the wall finish to the damp-proof membrane is timber battens, a dry-lining frame or block wall.

The 0.65mm-thick membrane has a pattern of raised 3mm studs and is light, clean and easy to handle. It can be cut with a sharp knife, scissors or shears. The studs face the wall and create air channels that allow vapour equalisation to take place between the membrane and the wall.

Key benefits

• Isolation of wall finish from the damp wall

• Does not require extensive and damaging preparation to the wall surface

• Speed of installation

• Resistant to efflorescing salts and hydrocarbon contamination

• Rot-proof

• Shallow stud profile for where space is at a premium

Applications
