Newton 508 Mesh Cavity Drain Membrane for Basements

8mm Meshed Cavity Drain Membrane for Basement Walls, Floors and Vaulted Soffits

Newton 508 Mesh is a high quality meshed cavity drain waterproofing membrane, suitable for use internally below the ground to retaining walls and vaulted soffits. Newton 508 Mesh is a membrane option within Newton System 500, a waterproofing system that includes Newton drainage and pumping systems.

Newton 508 Mesh is typically used where space prevents the use of a dry-lining frame or block wall as the wall finish or where a direct rendered or plastered finish is preferred to vaulted ceilings. Its high quality meshed surface provides an excellent ‘key’ for lime mortars, renders, plasters or dabbed plasterboard.

Newton 508 Mesh is guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years, and has a life expectancy of at least 50 years (DIN 9001:2000) and is supported by BBA Certification Number 94/3010.

Newton 508 Mesh is inert, highly resistant to water, alkalies, saline solutions and organic acids, and it is not effected by minerals. It is also resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms.
