Description
Description
Newtonite Lath, often referred to as Newton 803 Mesh, is the UK's original and leading meshed damp proofing membrane. It is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membrane with a 3mm stud profile and a rot-proof polythene mesh thermally welded to the front face. This mesh provides a permanent mechanical key for plasters, renders, or "dot and dab" plasterboard. Designed for above-ground use, it creates a physical barrier that isolates the internal finish from dampness and contaminating salts in the wall. It is an ideal alternative to chemical damp-proof courses, particularly in older properties where traditional treatments may be ineffective or undesirable.
Benefits
- Provides a complete separation between the damp wall and the new internal finish
- Superior mechanical key for direct application of renders, plasters, and lime mortars
- Effectively handles rising damp and salt contamination without the need for chemicals
- Quick and non-invasive installation; existing sound renders can often be left in place
- Highly resistant to water, alkalines, saline solutions, and organic acids
Good to know
- Available in multiple roll sizes: 1.2m x 10m (M9), 1m x 10m (M16), 1m x 20m (M21), and 2m x 20m (M22)
- Guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years with a 50-year life expectancy
- Must be fixed using Newtonite Mesh Plugs to ensure a secure base for the finish
- Light, clean, and easy to handle; can be cut easily with a knife or shears
- Inert and rot-proof, providing long-term protection against bacteria and fungi
