Updated: September 9, 2014 (clarifications only denoted by ᵠ)
Supplies Required
Rolls of DMX AG™
 1 roll for every 65 feet (20 meters) of foundation
perimeter.
 Choose the height that matches the distance
from the footing to the grade line.
 DMX AG™ comes in a variety of heights up to 8
feet (2.4 meters). If you need more height or if
you have to piece the DMX AG™, you can
overlap the top layer over the bottom layer by at
least 6 inches (15 cm) and mesh the dimples.
DMX FlexTrim™
 For sealing cut edges in the membrane where
the flat panel has had to be trimmed off, such as
around windows or on a slope. The DMX
FlexTrim™ prevents dirt from getting between
the membrane and the wall. Can also be used
for additional protection, over the finished flat tab.
DMX Washers™
 For use with nails or screws on both the flat tab
and dimpled section of membrane.
 DMX approves the use of washers as follows:
Flat Tab on Membrane: Plastic Washers or
FlexTrim*
Dimpled Section of Membrane: Plastic
Washers or Steel Washers with a rubber
insert to protect damage to the sheet.
 Approximately 80 DMX Quick Clips* or
 Approximately 150 to 200 Washers per roll of
DMX AG™.
1 ¼ inch concrete nails
(for poured or concrete
block foundations)
OR
1 ½ inch deck or
drywall screws (for ICF
& PWFᵠ foundations)
 For fastening the flat tab at the top of the DMX
AG™ to the foundation. Use one nail or screw
with a washer every 6 to 8 inches* (15 to 20 cm).
 For fastening DMX Washers™ into the dimples.
 For fastening DMX FlexTrim™.
