  tanking slurry

                                   

going by trade names such as thoroseal ,ka tanking slurry ,vandex

 

slurry is applied to a render coat (2 coats) and another base coat appied (possibly 2)

we use limelite renovating plaster backing coat which is lightweight and also contains salt inhibitor and water proofing agents ,the render is also breathable   ,limelite finish coat ,  painting with breathable paint reccomended

 

 

 

 damp proof membrane  also know as structural waterproofing

 

there are a few ways to use the plastic membranes ...these can be fixed to the wall with plastic plugs ....battens fixed to plugs insulation and plasterboard fixed to battens
