Are you looking to protect your basement from moisture, reduce dampness, or prevent mold growth under your flooring? DELTA®-FL is your answer. This dimpled, heavy-duty polyethylene membrane creates a crucial air gap beneath your concrete slab, allowing hydrostatic pressure to equalize and effectively blocking moisture migration. It even provides a thermal break, making your basement floor feel warmer and more inviting.

What is DELTA®-FL?

The DELTA®-FL system is engineered by Dörken, a trusted name in building materials, to provide superior moisture protection for concrete and slab-on-grade floors. Made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), it boasts impressive impact resistance with a compressive strength exceeding 4500 lb/sf. With a minimal reduction in headroom (just 8 mm), it's an ideal solution for any basement renovation.

Whether you're installing carpeting, vinyl, hardwood, or laminate, DELTA®-FL provides the perfect base, ensuring your floors remain protected from below-grade moisture. It's lightweight and available in convenient roll sizes, making it suitable for both professional builders and DIY enthusiasts.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the concrete floor is clean, dry, and free of debris. Remove any sharp objects that could puncture the membrane.
2. Measure and Cut: Measure the room dimensions and cut DELTA®-FL rolls to fit, allowing for a slight overlap (about 2 inches) at seams.
3. Lay the Membrane: Roll out the DELTA®-FL with the dimpled side facing down against the concrete. Ensure the flat side faces up for flooring installation.
4. Seal the Seams: Use DELTA®-FL sealing tape to secure overlaps, creating a continuous moisture barrier. Alternatively, use seam clips for faster assembly.
5. Install Finished Flooring: Place your chosen flooring (laminate, vinyl, etc.) directly over the DELTA®-FL, following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
