Baseline 8 Membrane Kit

Wykamol Baseline 8 Membrane Kit

The Wykamol Baseline 8 Membrane Kit is a professional waterproofing solution designed for basement tanking and damp-proofing applications. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the durable cavity drain membrane offers exceptional resistance to moisture and groundwater ingress, making it ideal for below-ground structures.

With 8mm stand-off studs that create a drainage void behind the membrane, the system ensures constant water management and ventilation, meeting the rigorous standards of BS 8102:2022 for Type C waterproofing.

Included in the Baseline 8 Membrane Kit

The kit contains everything required for a complete waterproofing installation:

• Cavity Drain Membrane: 40m² (2m x 20m) rolls with 8mm integral studs and a 80mm stud-free flange for overlapping.
• 200 Plugs with Waterproof Seals: Secure the membrane to concrete or masonry walls without compromising water tightness.
• Butyl Waterproofing Tape/Rope: Used to seal joints, overlaps, and floor-to-wall junctions, ensuring a fully watertight system.

How the Baseline 8 Membrane Kit Works

The Baseline 8 Membrane Kit system works by isolating damp or water-bearing walls and floors. The 8mm studs create a void for water to drain towards a sump and pump system or a drainage point, ensuring it is removed from the building.

For Walls:

• Hang the membrane like wallpaper, fixing it in place using brick plugs with seals.
• Use butyl waterproof tape to seal sheet overlaps and corner junctions for a watertight finish.

For Floors:

• Roll the membrane onto the surface like a floor covering.
• Seal edges and junctions using waterproof tape or rope for complete coverage.

Features of Baseline 8 Membrane Kit System

The Baseline 8 Membrane Kit is BBA-approved for use in Type C cavity drain systems as per BS 8102:2022. It is designed to deliver a Grade 3 dry environment, suitable for habitable spaces like basements and cellars.

B: Quick and Easy Installation

Installing the membrane is as simple as hanging wallpaper or laying lino flooring. The system can be installed over uneven surfaces, and its flexible design accommodates any layout.

C: Creates a Dry and Habitable Environment

Once installed, the Baseline 8 Membrane Kit system allows for dry-lining using timber battens fixed to the plugs, enabling a clean and habitable interior finish with plasterboard.
