Tytan wall horizontal damp-proof course membrane 0.40 m x 50 m

Tytan wall horizontal damp-proof course membrane 0.40 m x 50 m is a flexible, roll-applied barrier designed to prevent rising damp in masonry and block walls. The membrane provides a continuous horizontal separation between foundation and wall materials, suitable for both retrofit and new construction. Its width of 0.40 m and 50 m roll length allow covering long runs with minimal joints, and the material is intended to be embedded within mortar or laid under subsequent wall courses to interrupt capillary moisture transfer.

Advantages

The membrane offers a simple mechanical solution for creating a reliable damp-proof course that reduces the need for invasive treatments. It is compatible with standard mortar beds and should remain stable when correctly installed within the wall structure. By providing a continuous physical barrier, the product helps protect finishes and structural elements from moisture-related damage and limits the risk of efflorescence and frost-related deterioration.

Suitable for

• Installation between foundation and wall courses in new builds
• Retrofit damp-proofing of existing masonry and block walls
• Areas where a continuous horizontal moisture barrier is required
• Applications involving embedding within mortar or under wall ties and plates

Key specifications

• Roll width: 0.40 m
• Roll length: 50 m
• Flexible sheet form for embedding within masonry joints
• Intended for horizontal installation to interrupt capillary rise
• Suitable for use with standard mortar and masonry construction methods

How to use

Measure and cut the membrane to the required lengths and lay it horizontally at the designated course level, ensuring continuous overlap at joints as recommended by site practice. Embed the membrane within a fresh mortar bed or lay it onto a prepared, level surface before the next course of masonry is placed. Ensure the membrane runs uninterrupted across the full wall thickness and turn up or seal at vertical junctions where appropriate to maintain continuity of the barrier.

Usage recommendations

Store rolls flat in a dry area prior to installation and avoid prolonged UV exposure. Handle with care to prevent damage to the sheet during cutting and embedding. Where masonry is exposed to severe moisture conditions or where additional protection is required, combine the membrane with suitable surface damp-proofing or drainage measures following accepted building practice.
