Damp Proof Membranes and Amtico Flooring
It is a requirement within the Building Regulations that a floor which is next to the ground be constructed in such a manner as to prevent any part of the floor being adversely affected by moisture vapour from the ground.
Prior to installing Amtico flooring, the specifier should ensure that the recommendations of these regulations are strictly adhered to, as experience has shown that there are no effective alternatives to a correctly laid damp-proof membrane.
Amtico flooring and Spacia Flooring must be installed on concrete sub-floors which are laid direct to earth only where an approved dampproof membrane has been incorporated. Whenever there is doubt as to an effective damp-proof membrane, a surface DPM should be applied.
