Floor Membranes

Floor Membranes

Floor membranes are used in above-ground and below-ground settings to control damp, moisture and contamination. They provide a protective layer beneath floor finishes and can also form part of a basement waterproofing system where groundwater needs to be managed safely.

Waterproof & Dry stock a range of floor membranes suitable for damp-proofing and basement applications, including:

• Low-profile damp proof floor membranes for above-ground use
• Standard basement floor membranes for typical drainage requirements
• High-capacity basement floor membranes for increased water ingress

Basement Floor Membranes

Basement floor membranes are designed to cope with ongoing moisture and groundwater pressure. Manufactured from durable materials, they provide a robust drainage layer beneath the floor, helping to protect internal finishes over the long term.

Floor membranes are available in different stud depths to suit the level of water ingress and drainage required. Low-profile options offer damp protection with minimal impact on finished floor height, while deeper stud membranes can manage higher volumes of water.

Basement Waterproofing Systems

In below-ground environments, floor membranes are typically used alongside cavity drain wall membranes and sump pump systems as part of a Type C (drained) waterproofing system.

This approach manages water ingress by collecting and directing it to a suitable discharge point, rather than attempting to resist water pressure at the structure.

If you’re also working on walls or above-ground areas, browse our ranges of damp proofing membranes and basement wall membranes.

Damp Proof Floor Membranes

Low-profile damp proof floor membranes are designed for above-ground applications where moisture, vapour or salt contamination needs to be isolated. Their slim stud profile helps minimise changes to floor height, making them suitable for refurbishment and retrofit projects.
