Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Oct 9, 2009

A basement conversion at The Royal Courts of Justice in London required waterproofing to ensure the area is habitable.

The grade I listed English Heritage project featured a number of unused basement areas which were chosen to provide additional space within the building.

John Newton supplies waterproofing solution for The Royal Courts of Justice in London

A Newton System 500 waterproofing system was designed and installed with Newton 508 Mesh waterproofing membrane.

The mesh meant that surface preparation was not required.

The basement area has been refurbished for use as a rest area with luxury bar and provides a habitable area to Grade 3 of the environmental table within BS8102.
