Membrane waterproofing, finishing surface as well as under layer is the right solution where horizontal surfaces are raised up to a height of 1-0”(300mm) vertically anchored with metal strips to avoid sagging.
Using waterproofing membrane to keep leakages away Here are a few advantages of membrane water-proofing:
- As compared to liquid applied coating, while using waterproofing membrane, it is possible to select the desired thickness of the membrane. available in roll form 10 meters long and 1 meter wide as 2,3 & 4mm. The application on site is swift as it is ready to
use. - It is also possible to choose plain and textured surfaces as per the needs. If there is a double layer where the top layer is layered, perpendicular to the base layer the performance of the membrane is 3 fold.
- Roll-on membrane is able to handle abrasion more effectively as compared to a liquid applied membrane.
- When the membrane is covered with lean concrete of 50mm thickness and finished in tiles or as desired, the performance of the membrane improves multiple times. This is a direct result of the screening from the demanding climatic conditions like heat and rains, and the membrane can last for 15 years.
Application of Membrane-based waterproofing solutions
Membrane waterproofing solution works brilliantly for spa floors, podiums, commercial kitchens, terrace and planters. All the necessary precautions should be taken during the application process to make sure that the right bonding of overlapping layers (100mm) happens between two rows and prevent gaps below the membrane. This could result in air gaps, leading to cracking of membrane, especially in hot or warm areas.
