Waterproofing

At Blueprint we stock a broader range of masonry waterproofing products than any other supplier, we also know a lot more about them. We employ one of the most fully trained, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful sales teams anywhere in the industry. So whether you’re a contractor, a merchant, an architect or engineer, we can provide you with the complete masonry waterproofing solution.

Our waterproofing brochure intends to give you a simply and concise idea of the types of products that we can provide in this category. We are able to assist our customers in all areas of product selection,
including availability and cost. Being a specialist means we can also provide advice on how products can be fitted, what they can be fitted with and a range of possible alternatives.

At Blueprint we like to get involved with our customers projects. We’ll gladly arrange for one of our experts to meet you on site and help you in site surveys and determine exactly what product is needed where. If it is appropriate we dedicate a project manager to a contract who is responsible for the
whole supply chain process from design through to costing
and delivery.

Blueprint use and invest in leading IT and stock management systems that mean we are more likely to have the product you want on our shelves than anyone else in the country.
Technology that means what you order is what you get.

Damp Proof Membranes

When moisture is present within the ground, some conditions do not allow for adequate drainage. Therefore most buildings could be subject to water pressure at some period of their lives,
potentially causing spoiling of internal decoration and in some instances even damaging the fabric of the building. For an effective barrier against water penetration it is vital that any DPC is linked with a suitable Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) in the floor. A surface of blinding or soft sand should
be used to avoid damage to the membrane both during installation and when the concrete or screed is being laid. Care should be taken to ensure that the membrane is not stretched or
displaced when placing the concrete or screed over the membrane. Depending on building usage and the prevailing ground conditions we can recommend the gauge of DPM required and can
advise whether self-adhesive or heat activated DPMs are suitable. In addition to our extensive range of DPMs we stock a range of cold applied liquid membranes that are ideal for the waterproofing of ground floors and basements with irregular surfaces.

Cloaks

We stock a wide selection of standard, pre-formed geometric cloaks that help negotiate changes in elevation and direction as well awkward junctions and corners. Preformed cloaks are the
reliable alternative to cutting and fabricating on site. They ensure efficient product usage and reduce installation time and errors. Below ground tanking is often penetrated by
service pipes and ducts etc but we can advise which preformed cloaks will ensure that the integrity of the waterproofing system is not compromised. To overcome the more unusual shapes and angles, we can even design and supply pre-formed cloaks to order. Waterproof Ancillaries To ensure the waterproof integrity of a building is maintained we stock a range of ancillary items that will aid successful installation. These include pre-shaped jointing systems, tapes, adhesives, primers, protection boards and a variety of fixings.

Gas Barriers

With the increasing development of BrownField sites, protection against rising radon, methane and carbon dioxide gases has prompted a range of DPMs specifically designed to prevent the passage of these gases. In all cases those responsible for the planning and implementation of
construction projects where contamination may occur have a duty of care to protect against health
hazards and may risk legal action if proper precautions, including the use of gas barrier membranes, have not been taken. Gas barriers utilise advanced multi-layer lamination
processes to create an impenetrable and lasting protection against gases whilst retaining the flexibility required for easy installation. We’ll gladly give advice based on your specific
requirements.
