Common Questions
What is the difference between P15 Diamond and 007FC? — P15 Diamond is the proven acrylic membrane for standard wet area work. 007FC is a micro-fibre reinforced hybrid that cures faster — better for tight timelines. Both are AS4858 Class III.
When should I use DS100 vs DS200 silicone? — DS100 is acetoxy cure and works on most substrates. DS200 is neutral cure — use it on sensitive materials like natural stone, marble, metals, and mirrors.
Do I need a primer before Durotech membranes? — Yes. ARW Pink for porous surfaces (concrete, render, fibre cement) and SSP Pro for non-porous surfaces (tiles, existing coatings).
What membrane for a balcony? — Duroproof PUM PRO for trafficable areas. Add Duroproof ATC topcoat on exposed surfaces for UV stability.
P15 Diamond Grey or Blue? — Both are AS4858 Class III acrylic membranes. Blue provides visual contrast that makes it easier to confirm full coverage during application.
