Horizontal damp-proofing
MAUER HDPE
Eurovent® MAUER HDPE membrane for horizontal damp-proofing of foundations is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a specially designed subtle embossed pattern. This structure provides anti-slip properties and ensures excellent bonding with masonry mortar.
Advantages:
- easy installation
- resistant to rot and ageing
- permanently bonds with mortar
Application and technical data
The MAUER HDPE horizontal foundation damp-proofing membrane is used to create a waterproof barrier protecting both basement and non-basement buildings against capillary moisture. It is designed to form a thick and durable waterproofing layer in buildings as horizontal insulation of foundation footings under load-bearing walls, under wall plates (mauerlat), and partition walls, serving as an alternative to bituminous felt. The membrane can be joined by adhesive bonding or with the use of sealing tape.
MAUER HDPE horizontal foundation insulation is sensitive to UV radiation, which may reduce its performance properties and lead to material degradation. Therefore, it is recommended not to expose the material to direct or indirect UV radiation and to cover it immediately after installation.

System Products
To achieve maximum effectiveness of horizontal damp-proofing and long-term protection of the structure against capillary rising moisture, Eurovent® MAUER HDPE should be used together with:
- Eurovent® vertical foundation membranes (e.g. GEO 8, GEO 20), which protect walls against ground moisture,
- Eurovent® filtration geotextiles, protecting insulation layers from mechanical damage and silting,
- Eurovent® sealing and adhesive tapes, ensuring tight joints in areas where horizontal and vertical insulation layers meet,
- Eurovent® installation accessories (installation profiles, nails), enabling quick and stable fixing of the insulation.
The use of complete Eurovent® system solutions ensures a durable moisture barrier, structural safety, and long-term protection of building foundations.
