Newton DampSafe 601 Slimline Membrane - Flat Loose Laid Damp Proof Floor Membrane

Newton 601 Slimline is a High Quality, Slim Flooring Damp Proofing Membrane which is used primarily for isolating moisture-sensitive flooring from dampness in the floor slab.

Newton 601 damp proofing membrane allows for the installation of sensitive flooring to be laid above ‘green’, still curing concrete as soon as the concrete is walkable, usually two days, significantly reducing project times.

Supplied in (W) 2.0M x (L) 20M - (40M²) Rolls.

Newton 601 Slimline Flooring Damp Proofing Membrane

Newton 601 Slimline is a high-grade, slim flooring damp proofing membrane used primarily for isolating moisture-sensitive flooring from dampness in the floor slab. It can be used as the floor membrane as part of a Waterproof Cavity Drain System, when the survey has ascertained that there is no risk of water entering through the body of the slab.

Newton 601 Slimline damp proofing Membrane allows for the installation of sensitive flooring to be laid above ‘green’, still curing concrete as soon as the concrete is walkable, usually two days, significantly reducing project times.

With a loading capability of over 1000kN/m², Newton 601 damp proofing membranes are able to resist very high compressive loading and is suitable for use as a high load DPC within structural block walls, especially when used to connect the wall and floor membranes within the Cavity Drain System.

Newton 601 damp proofing membranes are guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years and has a life expectancy of at least 50 years (DIN 9001:2000) Newton 601 Slimline is inert and is highly resistant to water, alkalies, hydro-carbons, saline solutions and organic acids, and it is not affected by minerals. It is also resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms. 

Newton 601 Slimline can be finished over with screed, 18mm or 22mm T&G chipboard or partical board. Laminate and timber flooring should be installed over a layer of 18mm or 22mm T&G chipboard.

Typical Applications:

  • To protect flooring from not yet cured slabs

  • Above contaminated floors

  • As a high grade DPM

  • As the damp proof floor membrane for use with Damp Proofing Wall Membranes (Newton 803 Newtonite, Newton 805 Newlath)

  • Can be used as the flooring membrane within a Basement Waterproofing specification if specified by a trained waterproofing surveyor

Preparation:

  • Brush the floor clean

  • Remove any sharp protrusions

  • Fill all non-structural cracks above 1mm wide

  • All structural cracks should be repaired or treated

  • Any holes or indentation should be filled with a suitable filler

 Application Method:

  • The membrane is rolled out along the longest dimension of the floor with the grooved surface facing downwards. Subsequent lengths of membrane are rolled out and slightly overlapped and taped to form a continuous flooring membrane. 100mm of excess membrane is folded up to the walls to create an upturn so that all floor finishes are isolated from dampness to the walls.

  • Start with the flange (80mm flat section to one edge of the roll) at either one of the two longest walls

  • Roll out the first length of membrane and cut a length of membrane off the roll that is 200mm longer than the room length

  • Make a fold 100mm from the edge closest to the wall and lap to the long wall to form an upturn

  • Roll out consecutive further rolls so that the flange is overlapping the already laid membrane by 80mm.

  • Continue until the whole of the area to be treated is covered

  • Clean the flange and the top surface where the seal is to be made with a clean rag and cleaning alcohol. In cold and humid conditions a heat-gun may be required to carefully ‘burn’ off the surface moisture

  • Apply Newton Waterseal Tape (Or Platinum Waterseal Tape) to the underside of the flanged areas where they overlap the previous sheet of membrane. Leave the white backing tape in place

  • Align the lengths of membrane so they are perfectly parallel to each other. Use the lines on the membrane as a guide

  • Carefully remove the backing paper of the Waterseal Tape and at the same time press the top sheet into the bottom sheet to form the seal. Continue to the whole length and to all overlapping lengths of membrane

  • After the last length has been sealed to the subsequent lengths, cut the last length to size so that it fits the room space correctly, ensuring that a 100mm surplus is available for lapping up the wall as an upturn

  • Ensure the membrane is flat to the whole surface area and then create the last upturn to the second of the longer walls. Trim the upturn to 100m to all upturns

  • Fold the membrane to form the corners. This is done by folding the corner at 45 degrees and then folding this behind one of the upturns

  • Seal around protrusions with Platinum Mesh Tape or Newton Overtape

  • Lay flooring above
