Damp Proof Membranes For Damp Proofing Walls
Damp problems such as rising damp and penetrating damp lead to damp walls, and can seriously damage your property. Even minimal damp penetration or rising damp will cause discolouration to surface plaster on walls, decorations and can even affect a building’s structural integrity. A permanent damp proofing solution like
Newlath 2000 is essential.
- John Newton & Company will provide you with the best damp proofing solutions for your needs. Drawing on over 160 years of innovation, technical expertise and proven reliability in the damp proofing and basement waterproofing industries, Newlath 2000 and our other outstanding damp proofing products have been specially developed for the widest applications
- Newtons were the first company to introduce a ventilated damp proof membrane in 1937 with their unique product Newtonite, used as a damp proofing solution for treating damp walls in thousands of buildings in the United Kingdom
- John Newton & Company were also the first to develop and introduce a meshed damp proof membrane to accept renders or plasters, and Newlath 2000 remains the original and most effective meshed damp proof membrane. Its success is measured by the fact that over 2 million metres of Newlath 2000 have been used nationally as a damp proofing solution since its introduction.
Newton Damp Proofing Systems are a range of High Density Polyethylene and Polypropylene damp proof membranes including
Newlath 2000 which are moulded into a stud formation.
Newlath 2000 damp proof membrane prevents any moisture and moisture vapour and associated salts and contaminants within the structure affecting the internal finishes by providing a physical barrier between the old damp wall and the new finish. Damp proofing with
Newlath 2000 significantly prolongs the life of the internal finish whilst still allowing for natural evaporation of damp from the structure, and unhindered movement of air to take place in the gap provided by the studs of the damp proof membrane.
Newlath 2000 and
Newtonite damp proof membranes provide a firm key and impermeable barrier on any damp or deteriorating surface.
Newlath 2000 is highly sympathetic to buildings as it allows damp walls to ’breathe’. Minimal surface preparation is required for the
Newlath 2000 damp proof membrane to be installed. In addition, the damp proofing system is fully reversible; a requirement when treating listed buildings throughout the United Kingdom.
Newlath 2000 is the damp proofing technique of choice for all Listed and Historical Structures, and Newlath 2000 has been used in buildings including the Royal Courts of Justice, Houses of Parliament, Windsor Castle and the London Underground System.

Our
damp proof membrane systems are designed to deal with capillary held moisture only and as such are only suitable for above ground appliction. Where external ground levels are higher than the internal floor levels then there is a risk of hydrostatic water pressure and a full waterproofing system and application should be adopted, like
Newton System 500.
For basement waterproofing, our market leading Newton System 500 waterproofing solution Newton System 500 is ideal. Follow the basement waterproofing link on the left for further information, or contact us to speak to a member of our technical team
