Tanking or Lining
What is the difference?
Tanking - a liquid coating that seals the wall or floor - it must bond to the wall or floor material, so surface preparation is important. Used above ground it may drive any damp upwards and sideways. Some are full vapour barriers (Epoxy, Polyurethane), some are not (Cement based), so the final finish may have to 'breathe' (if you choose a Cement Based System). Great on new blocks and concrete - not good on old, rough, 'salty' walls or floors.
Linings - with an Air Gap - dimpled plastic sheeting that has a built in air gap, or cavity, because of the dimples. Does not need special surface preparation, does not drive damp upwards. Fixed with plastic plugs fitted with neck seals. It is a true Vapour Barrier, so any finish can be used. Good on brick and uniform stone walls, not good on loose or very hard stone walls.
Linings - without an Air Gap - dimpled plastic sheeting that is fixed with Tiling Adhesive. It is a true Vapour Barrier, so it can be Tiled. Acts as a waterproof layer to protect rooms below or alongside Wet Rooms, Showers or Bathrooms. Good on smooth concrete, plasterboard, plywood or brick, not good on random stone, loose or powdery surfaces.
