Challenges

Indoor air quality problems are recognized as significant risk factors for human health. In residences, day-care centers, retirement homes and other special environments, indoor air pollution affects population groups that are particularly vulnerable due to their health status or age.
 
Even in well-ventilated rooms, moisture absorption through walls by capillary actions leads to issues of blisters, peeling of paint and dust mites occurring during dry and wet cycles and changes in climatic conditions.
 
Preventing (or minimizing) persistent dampness and microbial growth on interior surfaces and building structures are the most important means of avoiding harmful effects on health.

Health Issues

What has my family’s health got to do with dampness in my house?

When walls absorb water, the dampness causes chemical & biological degradation of material, releasing harmful pollutants. This results in serious health problems like asthma, allergies, immunological reactions and other respiratory diseases which have been linked to mortality.

Structural Issues

The dampness created by moisture spoils carpets, furniture, and fittings and encourages termite breeding causing heavy property damage.

Aesthetic Issues

The moisture due to capillary rise in the wall causes the plaster to absorb it. This reflects on paints and finishes in terms of efflorescene, unpleasant blisters, mouldy damp patches and peeling of paints. This results in repetitive maintenance.

Advantages

Effectively prevents moisture & dampness from rising into the structure

Prevents fungus & mold development on the walls

High flexibility for coverage in corners & junctions

Extremely robust to weather construction conditions & traffic

Saves time & money because of ease and speed of installation

Strong resilience to wear & tear

Offers stability and long service life as it bonds perfectly with the substrate becoming an integral part of the structure

Excellent resistance to UV, ozone, alkalies and acids

Characteristics

DampX is designed in accordance with BS 8102:2022 Type A and EN 14909:2012

BS 8102:2022

Protection of below ground structures against water ingress — Code of practice

This British Standard gives recommendations and provides guidance on methods of dealing with and preventing the entry of water from external sources into a structure that are partly or wholly below ground level.

It covers the use of:
TYPE – A :  Waterproofing barrier materials applied to the structure.
TYPE – B :  Structurally integral watertight construction; and
TYPE – C :  Drained cavity construction

EN 14909:2012

Flexible sheets for waterproofing – Plastic and rubber damp proof courses – Definitions and characteristics

This document (EN 14909:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 254 “Flexible sheets for waterproofing”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. 

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of flexible sheets of plastics and rubber intended for use as damp proof courses for buildings. It specifies the requirements and test methods and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products with the requirements of this European Standard.
