Dpm reinforced no need for mesh ?

[mikric]

have been told by BCO that there is a new dpm available that is reinforced in such a way that there is no need to install steel mesh in concrete slabs. he gave me the name monoflex reflex super ,have asked around and googled it but no results, has anyone else heard of this product or used it or could anyone give me the correct name for it, thanks all

i have recently installed some monaflex gas membrane which was very tough and laminated with a nylon lattice.

try googling gas membrane and see what you get.

 

[JohnD]

maybe google monAflex nor monOflex?

 

[noseall]

it's actually monarflex, as i've just looked in my old invoices.

 

[noseall]

this is what i used.

looking at the picture, I can see the plastic mesh reinforcing the Radon-proof membrane, but I can't see it reinforcing the concrete

So I can't believe that there is "no need to install steel mesh in concrete slabs"

 

[noseall]

i guess it works on the theory that the membrane is trapped and tough enough to withstand any hollow spots.?

maybe??

 

[noseall]

oh, by the way, it is over 300 quid a pop!

£300 quid !! will stick with the 142 mesh then. cheers for all the info

Was just about to say just that

Its very very expensive so stick with good old mesh and standard DPM
