Damp Proof Membrane
Double S ® Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) is 100% Polyethylene foam with a high-density polythene laminate. DPM is designed to provide a moisture-resistant membrane used in concrete flooring. The membrane is applied above or below a ground floor slab to stop ground moisture reaching the upper surface of the floor. DPM is used under a floating floor as well as under a screed. Polyethylene insulation materials have better sound-insulation, sound absorbing, and heat insulation properties. •
DPM insulation material provides an easy-to-use moisture-resistant membrane for use in concrete flooring. The membrane is applied above or below a ground floor slab to stop ground moisture from reaching the upper surface of the floor. This product is used under a floating floor as well as under a screed.
Importance
A DPM plays a crucial role in building construction and is primarily used to prevent moisture and water vapor from migrating through walls, floors, and other structural elements of a building. This insulation material’s importance lies in its ability to protect the integrity of the structure and improve the overall comfort, durability, and energy efficiency of the building.
