Damp Proof Membranes (DPM) are plastic membranes installed on the ground floor of a building designed to create a damp-resistant barrier between the structure and the foundations below - typically underneath a concrete floor. This helps to prevent issues caused by damp from the foundations below. As well as functioning as a Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) our Novia Gas barrier membranes are designed for protection from radon and/or methane gas. For help with deciding which gas barrier is required for your project, consult your builder, architect or engineer. How do I Apply a Gas Barrier Membrane? Novia Gas Barrier Membranes are installed flat, with the blue side facing towards the ground. They must be sealed firmly first with double-sided butyl tape, followed by a BOPP tape for a tight seal and effective result.
