Cemplas Installs Delta MS500 To Detached Property By Vascroft

During the development of a new detached property by Vascroft Ltd, specialist contractor Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd were appointed the £38,000 contract to undertake the application of a Delta cavity membrane system to the basement/lower ground floor walls and floor, together with the application of a Delta waterproofing slurry to the Lift Pit and Lightwells.

Cemplas installed Delta MS500 with pre-drilled fixings to suit subsequent finishes to all vertical surfaces, and to all the horizontal surfaces Cemplas installed Delta MS20 sealed to MS500/DPC and concrete up-stands.

The lift pit and light well surfaces were bush hammered to remove any laitance and provide a mechanical key, operatives followed this up by installing Delta mortar fillets to all internal angles. The prepared surfaces were then primed with Polysil TG500, followed by the application of 2 coats of Delta NB1 slurry.

Delta membrane is water resistant and has a high resistance to water vapour transmission and provides an effective barrier to the transmission of salts or other contaminants from the substrate. It also has a high resistance to puncture and will not be damaged by normal foot traffic during installation, or while laying concrete, or screeding, and can support the long-term loadings likely to be experienced in service without undue deformation.

Under normal conditions of use the system will provide an effective barrier to the transmission of salts, liquid water and water vapour for the life of the structure in which it is incorporated.

Formed in 1969 Cemplas are an approved Delta installer with the ability to design and tailor a system to the needs of a building to give the best possible performance.

As with all waterproofing systems, manufacturers recommend that only competent specialist contractors such as Cemplas who understand dampness and the associated problems be employed to install the system ensuring the best possible performance.

On completion of the works Cemplas provided a 10 year guarantee.
