When damp starts creeping into your home, you don’t just want a quick fix—you want a solution built to last. Enter the TM3 Mesh, your local heavyweight in the fight against rising and penetrating damp.
What Makes TM3 Mesh a Game-Changer?
This isn’t your average plastic sheeting. The TM3 Mesh is made from tough yet pliable polypropylene, featuring an integrated mesh layer that allows plaster to adhere directly—no battens, no fuss. The result? A seamless, professional finish, every time.
Key specs worth knowing:
Roll sizes: 1 m × 20 m or 2 m × 20 m—perfect for both modest projects and expansive coverage.
Stud construction: Approximately 2–2.5 mm thick, providing just the right space for plaster, minimal wall build-up, and a smart finish.
Longevity: Designed to last at least 50 years—tough, durable, and built for your home’s peace of mind.
Why DIYers Love It
Zero drying waits – The mesh means you can decorate immediately after plastering. Forget the waiting game.
Simple to trim and fit – A utility knife, some patience, and you're good to go. Cutting the roll, folding around corners—it’s all straightforward.
Multi-use magic – Works just as well above or below ground, making it a one-stop solution for basement walls, barn conversions, or even old listed buildings.
Pros Know It Works
Trade professionals know that membranes are only part of the solution—and they’re spot on. To tackle rising damp well, you still need chemical injections to bar the salts that threaten brickwork and finishes.
But once walls are treated, TM3 steps up to form a resilient barrier, keeping moisture behind you while offering that flawless finish in front.
Pro Tips for a Top-Notch Finish
Don’t skip prep: Always clean and, if needed, stabilise the wall surface before installing the membrane.
Fixing matters: Use the recommended pattern—spacing fixings every 250–300 mm ensures the membrane hugs the wall securely.
Plaster like a pro: Whether you're light-coating with plaster or boarding on with dot-and-dab, the TM3 Mesh makes it easy—just choose your finish and go.
