Waterproofing Existing Basements using Oldroyd Xv Cavity Drainage Membrane
The Oldroyd Xv (formally CDM Clear) membrane system provides an exceptionally fast and convenient method of waterproofing walls, floors, and ceilings on new build and refurbishment projects. It is especially useful for waterproofing basements and underground structures, however, it can also be used to waterproof walls and floors above ground level.
The design of the system is such that an air gap is created between the highly water resistant membrane and the substrate. This gap enables the substrate to 'breathe' and equalises water vapour pressure. The membrane is attached to walls and ceilings by means of simple to fit, sealed fixing plugs. While on floors there is normally no need for any form of fixing.
Oldroyd Xv can be covered with a batten and plasterboard finish or a dry wall lining. On floors it can be screeded over or overlaid with a floating timber floor.
If it is possible that free water will enter the cavity behind the membrane then a drainage facility, possibly incorporating a sump and a pump, will need to be built in. Installation of the Aquadrain perimeter drainage system should also be considered.
Oldroyd Xv systems have a life expectancy of 50 years.
Oldroyd Xv is available in black or clear. The clear version is normally used for retrofit projects, such as those described on this page. The black version is used externally for the waterproofing of new-build basements. Oldroyd Xv can also be used in the construction of turf roofs.
Please allow between 2 & 4 days for delivery on all Xv products.
