Condensation Strips for Waterproofing Membranes
Newton Condensation Strip is an optional component to the Newton System 500 cavity drain waterproofing system. It is designed to deal with any condensation that may occur on the surface of the waterproofing membrane.
Using Newton condensation strips
Ordinarily the spacing lugs of the Basedrain drainage channel are used to collect condensation. However, where the floor build is greater than 65mm, the drainage channel cannot be used to collect condensation from the face of the Newton wall membrane. Standard practice has been to cut a strip of wall membrane and fit it between the wall membrane and Basedrain channel to create a condensation gap to collect any surface condensation that may occur. The floor membrane is then taped to the strip of wall membrane.
The Newton Condensation Strip is a quick and efficient alternative to using a strip of wall membrane to create the condensation gap. At 250mm high and with a diamond stud pattern to prevent the interlocking of studs, this product is ideal for dealing with condensation. It is highly resistant to water, alkalis, saline solutions and organic acids, and is not effected by minerals. It is also resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms.
