■ Walls constructed from soft bricks

■ Stone walls

■ Cob walls

Oldroyd membranes can also be used to

save time and money by avoiding the costly

surface preparation necessary before the

application of other types of damp-proofi ng and

waterproofi ng solutions.

In historic buildings, Oldroyd membranes are

often specifi ed as they are designed to divert

moisture rather than holding it back - thus

exerting less pressure on the underlying substrate.

They also have the advantage of allowing walls to

be returned to their original state at a later

date - particularly when used in conjunction

with a fast-track dry lining system. Below ground,

Oldroyd membranes can be used to create a

dry environment.

This brochure covers their use on internal walls

- an approach which is particularly useful for

basement refurbishments and diaphragm/piled

walls. Information regarding the use of Oldroyd

membranes on external walls as part of a

basement waterproofi ng system can be found

in the Oldroyd ‘Foundations and Basements’

brochure.

Oldroyd cavity drainage membranes provide a simple and cost effective solution for dealing with damp and contaminated walls - above and below ground.

Oldroyd membranes are particularly suited for use in situations where the underlying substrate is too fragile or contaminated to allow the use of traditional waterproofi ng systems, for example:

Oldroyd P is a popular choice for barn walls as it is designed to accept a plaster fi nish and can follow the natural contours of the barn walls.

Solutions

1. Because barns were originally

designed for agricultural use,

little attention was usually paid to

providing protection against damp

during their construction.

2. Salt contamination is often a

problem in barn fl oors and walls,

particularly where barns have

previously been used to house

animals. These salts are often

hygroscopic or deliquescent which

means that they attract moisture

from the atmosphere.

Damp is a common problem in barn

conversion projects for two

major reasons:

Oldroyd Xv clear provides an exceptionally fast and convenient method of

creating dry walls and fl oors in new build and refurbishment projects. The

membrane is attached to walls by means of special sealed fi xing plugs, whilst

on fl oors there is normally no need for any form of fi xing.

Oldroyd Xv clear can be covered with plasterboard, dry lining, screed or a

fl oating timber fl oor. If any free water enters the cavity behind the membrane

(e.g. in basements), then an Aquadrain drainage facility leading to a sump and

pump will need to be built in (see diagram opposite).

Oldroyd Xv provides a fl exible barrier between the damp wall and the

internal environment. Made from polypropylene, Xv clear benefi ts from

Oldroyd’s Multi-Layer Technology resulting in a membrane with much greater

strength than normal studded membranes. It is easy to work with even at

low temperatures, and its unique X pattern design makes it easy to apply

around corners and details such as doors and windows.

The Oldroyd Xv

particularly suited

to waterproofi ng

basements in older

houses as it does not

rely on the soundness

of the underlying

substrate for its

effectiveness. The

membrane is sealed to

walls and ceilings by

means of special sealed

fi xing plugs, whilst

on the fl oor there is

normally no need for

any form of fi xing.

Oldroyd Xv20 is a large (20mm) stud-size cavity drainage membrane for

waterproofi ng and drainage.

Oldroyd Xv20 benefi ts from large studs providing greater drainage and fl ow

capacity than standard cavity drainage membranes. For this reason Oldroyd

Xv20 is ideally suited to the waterproofi ng of large commercial basements.

Made from polypropylene, Oldroyd Xv20 is easy to use and is fully

compatible with other membranes in the Oldroyd range. Oldroyd Xv20

incorporates Multi-Layer Technology resulting in a membrane with much

greater strength than normal studded membranes, whilst the use of recycled

material in the central layer benefi ts the environment.

Featuring the unique Oldroyd ‘X’ pattern, Oldroyd Xp is the new generation

of studded polypropylene waterproofi ng membrane with a special mesh

welded to one side. It is fi xed to damp, contaminated walls using Oldroyd

Plaster Plugs, with the studs facing the wall. This creates an air gap which

allows the wall to breathe whilst blocking the passage of moisture. On

the reverse side of the membrane the special mesh can be plastered onto,

allowing a dry plaster fi nish to be achieved without risk of contamination

from any damp or salts in the wall.

Oldroyd Xp can also be used on external walls to provide protection against

penetrating damp.

Oldroyd Xp incorporates Multi-Layer Technology resulting in a membrane

with much greater strength than other studded membranes. Oldroyd Xp

can be used below ground, however we recommend that our technical

department is consulted fi rst.

Plasterboard can be applied over Oldroyd Xp using the dot and dab technique.

TYPICA APPLI TIONS

Oldroyd Xp is inert

and highly resistant

to water, alkalis, saline

solutions and acids.

It is also resistant to

bacteria, fungi and

other small organisms.

Oldroyd Xp is a

permanent barrier

to damp. Alternative

brushed-on damp

proof coatings depend

on the structure for

their performance.

Sheet membranes

bonded to the wall

fail when they are

punctured, and over a

period of time bitumen

coatings may break

down owing to soil

acids or movement.
