Application

High density polyethylene (HDPE) material used as a damp-proof membrane (DPM) to isolate the wall finish from the damp wall where a meshed surface for plaster or render is not required.


Newton Newtonite (Non-Meshed) is available in rolls of 2m x 20m = 40m².


Newton Newtonite is typically used where the wall finish to the damp-proof membrane is timber battens, a dry-lining frame or block wall. Newton Newtonite is 0.5 mm thick and has a pattern of raised 3 mm studs. The studs face the wall and create air channels that allow for vapour equalisation to take place between the membrane and the wall.


Newton Newtonite is light, clean and easy to handle. It can be cut with a sharp knife, scissors or shears. The membrane is inert and is highly resistant to water, alkalies, saline solutions and organic acids, and it is not affected by minerals. It is also resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms.


  • Newton Newtonite is guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years, and has a life expectancy of at least 50 years (DIN 9001:2000).

Description

High-quality damp proof membrane (DPM) for use above ground as an alternative to 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.


Features and benefits:

  • High density polyethylene (HDPE) damp proofing material.
  • 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.
