PolyBase – the first NSAI Certified 1200 Gauge DPM on the Irish market

Following the amendment in December 2020 to Technical Guidance Document C of the Irish Building Regulations, Laydex engaged with the National Standards Authority of Ireland, to create POLYBASE 1200 Gauge (min 300 Micron) Damp Proof Membrane. This product is a minimum of 300 micron in thickness and fully meets the criteria as set out in Technical Guidance Document C as assessed by the NSAI.

The December 2020 edition of the Irish Building Regulations Technical Guidance Document C, “Site Preparation and Resistance to Moisture” contains specific and detailed instructions about the type of Damp Proof Membrane which must be used underneath floors in construction. The important point is that the material to be used is a minimum of 300 micron with no tolerance.

POLYBASE is the only 1200 Gauge (minimum 300 micron) Damp Proof Membrane on the Irish market which fully conforms to the Building Regulations and Laydex have rolled out a large-scale product awareness campaign with the relevant regulatory bodies and specifiers nationally.

The outer sleeve of POLYBASE is completely branded and the face of the material itself is now printed showing the NSAI logo and certificate number allowing for clear identification on site.

Laydex are delighted to now offer their customer’s POLYBASE as the only 1200 Gauge Damp Proof Membrane they need to stock so that they can supply with absolute confidence knowing that it meets the Building Regulations and the requirements of Architects, Engineers, Home Bond, Building Control or any other Assigned Certifiers.
