FOUNDED IN 1848
John Newton & Co. Ltd. is the longest
established independent specialist in damp-proofing membranes,
waterproofing membranes, water
control and drainage products in the UK. Our products are
specified by Architects, Surveyors and Structural Engineers for use
across the construction spectrum from new developments to historic
buildings including conversions, renovations and refurbishments.
Leaders in our field, we pioneered the development of cavity drainage
membrane technology in 1937 with the introduction of the
Newtonite pitch-impregnated fibre membrane.
The introduction of the Newlath meshed membrane in 1984 allowed a
variety of finishes to be applied directly to the membrane. This was the
precursor of the high density studded polyethylene and polypropylene
membranes used today.
NEWTON SYSTEM 500
Newton System 500 is a
waterproofing system based upon our range of waterproofing membranes,
drainage systems and pumping systems. Unlike conventional ‘tanking’,
Newton System 500 is not attempting the almost impossible and trying to
hold water back, but places designed and maintainable depressurisation
voids at known weaknesses in the structure so that ingressing water is
simply captured and diverted out of the property.
COMPLETE RANGE OF HIGH QUALITY MEMBRANES
At the core of Newton System
500 is our range of high grade specialist membranes for walls,
floors and vaulted ceilings. Designed to accommodate a
comprehensive range of wall and floor finishes, simply choose the
membrane appropriate for the look and feel demanded by your project.
Newton membranes are the highest quality available in the UK, because
unlike our competitors, we are not dictated to by one manufacturer and
so our independence allows us to demand the specification and quality of
the product from a range of suppliers throughout Europe. Newton 508, for
example, at 0.6mm thickness, is the strongest and appreciably the
highest quality of all the 8mm membranes available.
CERTIFIED, TESTED & APPROVED
John Newton are
the holders of BBA certificate 94/3010 which includes Newton System 500.
Newton 508, the core cavity waterproofing membrane of System 500 has been
approved by two independent European testing facilities as being
suitable as a barrier against Radon gas. Newton 503 Mesh
has been tested and approved for use as a tunnel liner by London
Underground. All Newton waterproofing membranes are guaranteed against
deterioration for 30 years, and have a life expectancy of at least 50
years (DIN 9001:2000).
PUMPING & DRAINAGE
The
quality and effectiveness of Newton System 500 is reliant on a
range of proven drainage and pumping products and accessories. These
range from our simple yet effective perimeter drainage channels to
sophisticated pumping and pump control systems. A full range of packaged
sewage systems are also available for your basement project, with
systems ranging in size from simple one
pump lifting stations to large multi- property sewage stations.
QUALITY INSTALLATION OF A QUALITY WATERPROOFING
SYSTEM
Although quick and relatively easy to specify and install, Newton
System 500 is a professional fit waterproofing system that should be
installed by specialist waterproofing contractors. It is important that
the system works first time, but it is also important that the
end-client receives the all encompassing guarantees only available from
reputable specialists in their field.
Newton NSBC Contractors are trained and monitored by John Newton so
that we have not just the best waterproofing systems but also the best
contractors to diagnose your problem, design your system and then
install Newton System 500 to the very highest standards.
