About this product
The Yuzet 7m x 4m DPM 300MU offers a robust solution for protecting your property from damp, utilising a proven product widely trusted by builders across the UK. This large-format damp proof membrane sheet, manufactured by Yuzet, is designed to safeguard areas up to an impressive 28 square metres – ideal for extensions and larger single-storey buildings where comprehensive protection is required.
At the core of this DPM is a BBA-approved 300 micron polythene sheet, utilising the same trusted material as Yuzet’s smaller rolls. This established formula has made it one of the most frequently used damp proof membranes in the UK construction industry, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness. The roll measures 7 metres in width and 4 metres in length, providing ample coverage for a significant area.
However, due to its size, we recommend that two people handle the installation. This large roll is inherently heavy and awkward for a single person to move and cut safely. Careful planning of your cutting schedule will ensure efficient use of the material. It’s crucial to consider this when assessing the project requirements – adequate space for storage and safe handling are paramount.
This DPM sheet offers a dependable barrier against rising damp, contributing significantly to the structural integrity and comfort of your building. Remember to consult with a qualified surveyor or builder for advice on the correct installation method to ensure optimal performance.
