A waterproofing sealing membrane is a layer of water-tight material that is laid onto a surface to prevent water leaks or damage. They can be adhered to or installed around the foundations to prevent water penetration. It should be strong, flexible, tear-resistant and elastic so that it can stretch to cover cracks and also move with the building. One such product is PROMEM 280F. It is a waterproof sealing membrane made of 2 outer layers of Non-Woven and 1 Inner layer of modified low density Polyethylene. It protects floors and walls in wet areas.
