Visqueen LAC has been BBA approved covering its use for the tanking of basements and as a damp proof membrane for solid floors.

Application Visqueen Liquid Applied Compound (LAC) is typically used as a damp proof membrane to ground floors, as a vapour barrier behind cladding and for tanking of basements in accordance to BS8102 – Grades 1,2 and 3 apply. Visqueen LAC can also be used for waterproofing of foundations, retaining walls, abutments, steel columns, beams, lintels and structures where cladding is to form the outer leaf.
