For non-meshed membranes, where the membrane simply needs to be held securely to the substrate before independent internal finishes are installed, approximately 5 plugs per square metre is normally sufficient. For meshed membranes, approximately 15 plugs per square metre at around 250mm centres is generally required, as the membrane must be held much more tightly against the wall to properly support plastering, rendering or dot and dab plasterboard applications. The final fixing layout should always take full account of the substrate condition, membrane type, chosen wall finish and the specific requirements of the project waterproofing

The central plug core accepts 5mm size 10 screws for secondary batten, ply board and dry-lining fixings without additional membrane penetrations. The 10mm x 60mm plug provides secure mechanical anchorage into brick, concrete, stone and masonry. The integrated washer removes the need for a separate sealing component during installation, supporting a consistent and efficient sealed fixing detail throughout the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What technical specifications do Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals measure 10mm in diameter by 60mm in length and are installed into a 10mm drilled hole formed through the membrane stud and into the masonry substrate. Each plug is supplied with a fitted soft sprung rubber sealing washer that compresses against the membrane face as the plug is driven fully home with a club hammer. The central hollow core accepts 5mm size 10 threaded screws, allowing secondary fixings for battens, ply board, wall ties and dry-lining without creating additional penetrations through the membrane. The recommended fixing density is approximately 5 plugs per m² for non-meshed membranes and approximately 15 plugs per m² at around 250mm centres for meshed membranes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What fixing density is recommended for Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The recommended fixing density for Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals depends on the membrane type and intended finish. For non-meshed membranes, where the membrane only needs to be held securely to the substrate before independent internal finishes are installed, approximately 5 plugs per m² is normally sufficient. For meshed membranes, approximately 15 plugs per m² at around 250mm centres is generally required, as the membrane must be held tightly against the wall to support plastering, rendering or dot and dab plasterboard. The final fixing layout should always take account of the substrate condition, membrane type, wall finish and the project waterproofing specification, as project-specific requirements may vary from these indicative figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How are Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals installed correctly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) To install Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals correctly, first confirm the masonry substrate is sound and the Wykamol membrane is correctly positioned and aligned. Select a membrane stud as the fixing location and use a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/evolution-sds-drill-bit-10mm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10mm drill bit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to drill through the stud centre and into the wall substrate to a suitable depth. Push the plug into the hole with the rubber sealing washer positioned against the membrane face, ensuring the plug sits squarely before hammering begins. Drive the plug fully home using a club hammer until it is completely seated. As the plug is driven in, the rubber washer compresses against the membrane to form the watertight seal. After installation, confirm the plug is secure, fully seated and the washer has compressed evenly against the membrane face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How does the rubber sealing washer on Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The soft sprung rubber sealing washer on Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals is fitted around the plug head and creates a watertight seal around the fixing penetration. When the plug is driven fully home into the drilled hole, the washer is compressed between the plug head and the face of the cavity drain membrane. This compression forces the rubber to conform tightly against the membrane surface, closing off any path for water or moisture to pass through the fixing point. The pre-fitted washer design ensures correct positioning on every plug before installation, removing the need for a separate sealing step and supporting a consistent, reliable watertight detail at each membrane fixing location throughout the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What secondary fixings can be made through Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals accept 5mm size 10 threaded screws through the central hollow core, providing ready-made anchor points for secondary fixings without creating additional penetrations through the waterproof membrane. Battens, ply board, wall ties, tracking and dry-lining frames can all be fixed into the plug core, allowing internal finishing systems to be constructed in front of the membrane while preserving the waterproofing layer behind. This dual function is particularly useful in basement conversions and cellar refurbishments where maintaining membrane continuity behind internal finishes is critical. Secondary fixings through the plug core should be limited to 5mm size 10 screws, and heavier loads should be assessed separately against the system design and membrane specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Are there practical tips for getting the best results when installing Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) For the best results when installing Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals, always fix through the centre of a membrane stud to ensure the rubber washer seats correctly against the membrane face. Keep the drill bit straight during hole formation to avoid tearing the membrane or enlarging the hole beyond 10mm. Position each plug squarely in the hole before hammering to ensure even washer compression on all sides. Drive each plug fully home and confirm it is completely seated and not proud of the membrane surface after installation. For secondary fixings, always use 5mm size 10 screws through the plug core rather than drilling additional holes through the membrane. Plan the fixing density in advance to ensure adequate coverage across the full membrane area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What are the limitations of Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol CM Brick Plugs \u0026amp; Seals have several important limitations to be aware of.

The watertight seal depends entirely on the rubber washer being correctly compressed against the membrane face, so partially installed plugs, misaligned fixings or plugs that are not fully driven home can compromise the waterproofing detail at that point. The plug requires a sound masonry substrate to achieve adequate mechanical anchorage, and loose, severely deteriorated or crumbling backgrounds must be repaired before installation. Secondary fixings are limited to 5mm size 10 screws. The fixing must always be made through a membrane stud to ensure the washer seats correctly and performs as intended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wykamol Group","offers":[{"title":"(W) 10mm x (L) 60mm \/ Pack 100","offer_id":32840993439843,"sku":"WYCMBPS100","price":26.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"(W) 10mm x (L) 60mm \/ Pack 25","offer_id":39684315381859,"sku":"WYCMBPS100-25","price":8.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"(W) 10mm x (L) 60mm \/ Pack 50","offer_id":39684315414627,"sku":"WYCMBPS100-50","price":15.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/wykamol-cm-brick-plugs-with-seals-w-10mm-x-l-60mm-pack-100-waterproof-membrane-ancillaries-770.webp?v=1780488066","url":"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/wykamol-cm-brick-plugs-and-seals-cavity-drain-membrane-fixing","provider":"Platinum Chemicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
