Newton Mesh Tape
Newton Mesh Tape (Newton product reference A25), is a self-adhesive butyl sealing tape with a textured polypropylene fleece surface, used within the Newton CDM System and Newton Newtonite Damp Proofing System to seal and reinforce joints in meshed membrane installations. The butyl backing provides adhesion and sealing to the membrane, while the fleece face provides a key for plaster or render to bond over the joint.
Supplied in 100mm wide x 10m long rolls, Newton Mesh Tape is used over butted joints, sealed overlaps, protrusions, local repairs and areas where a plasterable or renderable surface must be reinstated. It is intended for use with meshed membranes where the wall finish is applied directly over the membrane system, helping the joint become part of the finished plaster or render build-up.

Key Features of Newton Mesh Tape
✔️ Self-adhesive butyl tape seals and reinforces joints in meshed membrane installations before plastering or rendering.
✔️ Textured polypropylene fleece face provides a plasterable, renderable key over taped membrane seams and repairs.
✔️ Butyl backing bonds firmly to clean membrane surfaces while sealing butted joints and local details.
✔️ 100mm wide x 10m rolls cover joints, protrusions and repaired areas with consistent overlap.
✔️ Restores surface key over sealed areas after using Newton CDM Joint Tape, Rope or Overtape.
Plasterable Joint Sealing For Meshed Membrane Systems
Newton Mesh Tape is a specialist self-adhesive membrane tape designed for use where meshed cavity drain membranes or damp proof membranes are being finished directly with plaster or render. In these installations, the joint between adjoining membrane sheets must be sealed securely, but it must also provide a suitable surface for the finishing material to grip. Newton Mesh Tape performs both functions by combining a butyl rubber sealing backing with a textured polypropylene fleece face. The butyl backing bonds to the membrane and helps seal the joint, while the fleece surface remains exposed to receive the plaster or render finish.
Textured Fleece Surface For Reliable Finish Adhesion
The fleece face is the key feature that separates Newton Mesh Tape from plain butyl sealing tapes such as Newton CDM Overtape. Standard butyl tapes can provide effective sealing performance, but they do not create the textured surface required for plaster or render adhesion. Newton Mesh Tape is therefore used where the joint will sit beneath a direct internal finish and the surface key must continue across the seam. This helps reduce the risk of weak areas, cracking or loss of adhesion over membrane joints. Because its performance depends on the fleece surface integrating with the finish, it is intended for use with membranes that have a meshed face.
100mm Tape For Sealed, Renderable Membrane Joints
Newton Mesh Tape is supplied in 100mm wide x 10m long rolls, providing suitable coverage across membrane joints and detailing areas. It is commonly used over the butted joints of adjoining meshed membrane sheets to create a sealed and plasterable connection. It can also be used as an overtape above joints that have already been sealed using Newton CDM Joint Tape, Newton CDM Rope or Newton CDM Overtape, reinstating the plaster or render key over the sealed area. Once incorporated into the membrane system, the fleece face allows plaster or render to key into the surface, helping maintain finish continuity across the taped joint.

Q) What is Newton Mesh Tape used for?
A) Newton Mesh Tape is used to seal and reinforce joints in meshed membrane installations where a plaster or render finish will be applied directly over the membrane system. It combines a self-adhesive butyl backing with a textured polypropylene fleece face, giving it both sealing and finishing functions. The butyl backing bonds to the membrane and helps seal the joint, while the fleece surface provides a key for plaster or render to grip. This makes Newton Mesh Tape particularly useful over butted joints, sealed overlaps, protrusions, repairs and areas where a plasterable or renderable surface needs to be reinstated after the membrane has been joined or detailed.
Q) How does Newton Mesh Tape work?
A) Newton Mesh Tape works by combining waterproofing adhesion with a finish-ready surface. The self-adhesive butyl backing bonds to clean, dry membrane surfaces and helps seal the joint or repair area beneath it. The exposed polypropylene fleece face then provides a textured key for plaster or render to bond to, allowing the finish to continue across the joint without losing grip. This is important on meshed membrane systems because the finish relies on a continuous surface key. If a smooth butyl tape were left exposed beneath plaster or render, adhesion could be poor. Newton Mesh Tape solves this by sealing the detail while reinstating a suitable surface for finishing.
Q) Where should Newton Mesh Tape be used?
A) Newton Mesh Tape should be used on meshed membrane installations where joints, repairs or detailed areas need to remain plasterable or renderable. Typical uses include butted joints between adjoining meshed membrane sheets, sealed overlaps, protrusions, local repairs, disturbed mesh areas and places where the plaster or render key has been interrupted. It is suitable for use within the Newton CDM System and Newton Newtonite Damp Proofing System, particularly where membranes are being finished directly with plaster or render. It can also be used over joints already sealed with Newton CDM Joint Tape, Newton CDM Rope or Newton CDM Overtape, restoring the surface key before finishing.
Q) Is Newton Mesh Tape suitable for plaster and render finishes?
A) Yes, Newton Mesh Tape is specifically designed for situations where plaster or render will be applied directly over a meshed membrane system. The textured polypropylene fleece face provides a suitable key, helping the finishing material grip over the joint rather than sitting on a smooth butyl surface. This is the main reason Newton Mesh Tape is used instead of plain butyl sealing tape in direct-finish areas. It helps the membrane joint become part of the finished plaster or render build-up, reducing the risk of weak lines, cracking, debonding or poor adhesion over seams. Correct surface preparation and firm application are still important for reliable results.
Q) How is Newton Mesh Tape different from Newton CDM Overtape?
A) Newton Mesh Tape differs from Newton CDM Overtape because it has a textured polypropylene fleece surface that provides a key for plaster or render. Newton CDM Overtape is a plain butyl sealing tape, so it can seal membrane details but does not provide the textured face needed for direct finishing. Where a joint will be covered by plaster or render, Newton Mesh Tape is the more appropriate choice because it keeps the finishing surface consistent across the membrane seam. Plain butyl tapes remain useful for sealing, but if they are used beneath a direct plaster or render finish, Newton Mesh Tape should usually be applied over the top to restore the surface key.
Q) How do you apply Newton Mesh Tape?
A) Newton Mesh Tape should be applied to clean, dry membrane surfaces. The tape is positioned over the joint, repair or detailing area, then pressed firmly so the butyl backing bonds properly to the membrane. The tape should bridge the seam with enough contact area on both sides to create a secure bond, while leaving the fleece surface exposed for plaster or render. Care should be taken to avoid dust, moisture, loose debris or poor alignment, as these can reduce adhesion. Once the membrane and all joints have been taped, the plaster or render can be applied directly over the meshed membrane and the fleece surface of the Newton Mesh Tape.
Q) Can Newton Mesh Tape be used over joints already sealed with other Newton tapes?
A) Yes, Newton Mesh Tape can be used as an overtape above joints that have already been sealed with Newton CDM Joint Tape, Newton CDM Rope or Newton CDM Overtape. This is useful where the original sealing product has created a watertight joint but does not provide a plasterable or renderable surface. Newton Mesh Tape is applied over the sealed area so the fleece face reinstates the surface key before plaster or render is applied. This approach allows the underlying tape or rope to perform the waterproofing function, while the mesh tape ensures the finishing material can bond properly across the joint or detailed area.
Q) Can Newton Mesh Tape be used around protrusions and local repairs?
A) Newton Mesh Tape can be used around protrusions, service entries, brackets, pipes and other local details where the meshed membrane surface has been interrupted and needs to be sealed and made finish-ready. It is also useful for small repairs, cuts, disturbed mesh areas, failed fixing plug locations or places where the plaster or render key has been damaged. The tape helps cover the affected area, bond to the membrane and reinstate the textured surface needed for finishing. Careful shaping and firm pressure are important around irregular details, as the tape must maintain good contact with the membrane while keeping the fleece face exposed for the plaster or render.
Q) What size is Newton Mesh Tape supplied in?
A) Newton Mesh Tape is supplied in 100mm wide x 10m long rolls. The 100mm width gives good coverage across membrane joints and local detailing areas, allowing the tape to bridge the seam while still leaving enough contact area on each side for the self-adhesive butyl backing to bond securely. This width is practical for butted joints between meshed membrane sheets, sealed overlaps, local repairs, protrusions and areas where a plasterable or renderable key needs to be reinstated. The 10m roll length is suitable for both planned jointing work and smaller repairs during meshed membrane installations within the Newton CDM System or Newton Newtonite Damp Proofing System.
Q) What are the main limitations of Newton Mesh Tape?
A) Newton Mesh Tape should be used with meshed membranes where the fleece face can integrate with a direct plaster or render finish. It is not intended as a general replacement for every waterproofing tape in the Newton CDM System. For internal sheet-to-sheet waterproof joints, products such as Newton CDM Joint Tape or Newton CDM Rope may still be required underneath, with Newton Mesh Tape used above to restore the surface key. It should be applied only to clean, dry membrane surfaces, as dust, moisture or loose material can reduce adhesion. It also needs firm pressure during application, especially around repairs, protrusions and disturbed mesh areas, to ensure the butyl backing bonds properly.
