Pam Mesh 3 is a cost-effective tanking membrane manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This mesh faced damp proofing membrane has 3mm studs formed on one face of the product, which are spaced at 20mm centres in both directions. It has a polypropylene mesh welded to the other side, which forms a key for plastering or ‘dot and dab’ dry lining. This semi-transparent tanking membrane is robust but pliable and can be easily bent around corners and cut with a knife or scissors. It is quick and easy to install: Fix at 250-300mm centres using mesh membrane plugs fitted into an 8mm hole. Seal joints with butyl rubber waterproofing tape Plaster, tile or dot and dab plasterboard sheets directly onto the mesh face. This low-cost tanking membrane is ideal for: Plastering after the insertion of a damp-proof course, where it is necessary to plaster the walls without allowing a period for initial drying Wet rooms and showers Difficult to treat areas of dampness or contamination (disused chimney breasts, high external ground levels, etc.) Pam Mesh 3 has an overall thickness of 3.5mm with ample air gap between studs to allow walls to breathe or drain.
