■ Walls constructed from soft bricks
■ Stone walls
■ Cob walls
Oldroyd membranes can also be used to
save time and money by avoiding the costly
surface preparation necessary before the
application of other types of damp-proofi ng and
waterproofi ng solutions.
In historic buildings, Oldroyd membranes are
often specifi ed as they are designed to divert
moisture rather than holding it back - thus
exerting less pressure on the underlying substrate.
They also have the advantage of allowing walls to
be returned to their original state at a later
date - particularly when used in conjunction
with a fast-track dry lining system. Below ground,
Oldroyd membranes can be used to create a
dry environment.
This brochure covers their use on internal walls
- an approach which is particularly useful for
basement refurbishments and diaphragm/piled
walls. Information regarding the use of Oldroyd
membranes on external walls as part of a
basement waterproofi ng system can be found
in the Oldroyd ‘Foundations and Basements’
brochure.
Oldroyd cavity drainage membranes provide a simple and cost effective solution for dealing with damp and contaminated walls - above and below ground.
Oldroyd membranes are particularly suited for use in situations where the underlying substrate is too fragile or contaminated to allow the use of traditional waterproofi ng systems, for example:

Oldroyd P is a popular choice for barn walls as it is designed to accept a plaster fi nish and can follow the natural contours of the barn walls.

Solutions
1. Because barns were originally
designed for agricultural use,
little attention was usually paid to
providing protection against damp
during their construction.
2. Salt contamination is often a
problem in barn fl oors and walls,
particularly where barns have
previously been used to house
animals. These salts are often
hygroscopic or deliquescent which
means that they attract moisture
from the atmosphere.
Damp is a common problem in barn
conversion projects for two
major reasons:

Oldroyd Xv clear provides an exceptionally fast and convenient method of
creating dry walls and fl oors in new build and refurbishment projects. The
membrane is attached to walls by means of special sealed fi xing plugs, whilst
on fl oors there is normally no need for any form of fi xing.
Oldroyd Xv clear can be covered with plasterboard, dry lining, screed or a
fl oating timber fl oor. If any free water enters the cavity behind the membrane
(e.g. in basements), then an Aquadrain drainage facility leading to a sump and
pump will need to be built in (see diagram opposite).
Oldroyd Xv provides a fl exible barrier between the damp wall and the
internal environment. Made from polypropylene, Xv clear benefi ts from
Oldroyd’s Multi-Layer Technology resulting in a membrane with much greater
strength than normal studded membranes. It is easy to work with even at
low temperatures, and its unique X pattern design makes it easy to apply
around corners and details such as doors and windows.

The Oldroyd Xv
Clear system is
particularly suited
to waterproofi ng
basements in older
houses as it does not
rely on the soundness
of the underlying
substrate for its
effectiveness. The
membrane is sealed to
walls and ceilings by
means of special sealed
fi xing plugs, whilst
on the fl oor there is
normally no need for
any form of fi xing.

Oldroyd Xv20 is a large (20mm) stud-size cavity drainage membrane for
waterproofi ng and drainage.
Oldroyd Xv20 benefi ts from large studs providing greater drainage and fl ow
capacity than standard cavity drainage membranes. For this reason Oldroyd
Xv20 is ideally suited to the waterproofi ng of large commercial basements.
Made from polypropylene, Oldroyd Xv20 is easy to use and is fully
compatible with other membranes in the Oldroyd range. Oldroyd Xv20
incorporates Multi-Layer Technology resulting in a membrane with much
greater strength than normal studded membranes, whilst the use of recycled
material in the central layer benefi ts the environment.

Combined with a
unique, temperature-
controlled
manufacturing process,
this produces an
exceptionally straight,
durable membrane.
The patented “X”
pattern embossed into
the membrane makes
it easy to cut and

allows for shrinkage
movements frequently
encountered when
screeds are applied,
thus minimising
potential cracking
problems.

Featuring the unique Oldroyd ‘X’ pattern, Oldroyd Xp is the new generation
of studded polypropylene waterproofi ng membrane with a special mesh
welded to one side. It is fi xed to damp, contaminated walls using Oldroyd
Plaster Plugs, with the studs facing the wall. This creates an air gap which
allows the wall to breathe whilst blocking the passage of moisture. On
the reverse side of the membrane the special mesh can be plastered onto,
allowing a dry plaster fi nish to be achieved without risk of contamination
from any damp or salts in the wall.
Oldroyd Xp can also be used on external walls to provide protection against
penetrating damp.
Oldroyd Xp incorporates Multi-Layer Technology resulting in a membrane
with much greater strength than other studded membranes. Oldroyd Xp
can be used below ground, however we recommend that our technical
department is consulted fi rst.
Plasterboard can be applied over Oldroyd Xp using the dot and dab technique.

Oldroyd Xp is made
from inert and
stable, high density
polypropylene 0.5mm
thick, formed into a
pattern of raised studs.
Polypropylene mesh
is heat welded in the
manufacturing process
to the surface on one
side. The 4mm high
studs face the wall and
create air channels.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Barn conversions
• Damp contaminated substrates
• Can be used in basements
The use of the Oldroyd Aquadrain Drainage System and a pump is
recommended for below ground applications.
TYPICA APPLI TIONS
Oldroyd Xp is inert
and highly resistant
to water, alkalis, saline
solutions and acids.
It is also resistant to
bacteria, fungi and
other small organisms.
Oldroyd Xp is a
permanent barrier
to damp. Alternative
brushed-on damp
proof coatings depend
on the structure for
their performance.
Sheet membranes
bonded to the wall
fail when they are
punctured, and over a
period of time bitumen
coatings may break
down owing to soil
acids or movement.
