Why Should You Pay Attention to Waterproofing?

Cementitious waterproofing coatings are breathable coatings that can provide positive and negative side waterproofing to concrete and masonry surfaces.

Positive-side waterproofing generates a watertight barrier on the side of the surface that has hydrostatic pressure applied to it. This would be the exterior surface closest to the dirt on a foundation, for example. Negative-side waterproofing, on the other hand, covers the surface opposite the side that has hydrostatic pressure applied to it. The interior of a basement wall is an example of this. These coatings, in addition to keeping moisture out, can protect against mould, mildew, and water infiltration.

Concrete is a strong and long-lasting building material that is commonly used in the construction of buildings, bridges, tanks, dams, pools, pipelines, sewers, and other structures. Concrete, on the other hand, is known to be permeable and porous. Water and water vapour can infiltrate concrete and cause long-term corrosion and deterioration. As a result, cementitious waterproofing materials are essential to guarantee that each construction project has a long and effective working life.

The Advantages of Cementitious Waterproofing:

When acrylic additives are put into the cement, cementitious products are regarded as some of the easiest waterproofing solutions to mix and apply, and they give a highly firm and lasting covering. The materials used are easy and simple and are ideal for moist places such as bathrooms.

The following are some of the unique advantages that this form of waterproofing provides to residential and commercial establishments.

• Preventing Water Infiltration Damage
• Mold Protection
• Resistance to Mildew
• 
  

Tar sheet for waterproofing is a specifically created, cold-applied, pre-fabricated elastomeric waterproofing membrane with a polyester mat core that is cost-effective. Tar sheet is resistant to weather and ageing.

Hyperplas Fiberglass is a high-softening-point APP-modified polymeric waterproofing membrane developed to the highest international requirements. It contains a central non-woven Fiberglass mat core for further mechanical robustness. A Polymeric Asphaltic mix with optimum penetration, heat resistance, and softening point surrounds the centre body on all sides. Despite its high tensile strength, the membrane is very flexible and elastic, allowing it to follow curves. As a result, this membrane provides excellent waterproofing.

Hyperplasia Fiberglass also has a high-molecular-density polyethylene film twin center core. This additional polyethylene core improves security. Hyperplas Fiberglass comes in 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 3Kg, 4mm, andg, and 4Kg/sqm thicknesses.

Hyperplas Fiberglass installation is quick and simple. To apply the membrane, a level surface with a low slope is required. The surface is first cleaned to eliminate any sharp protrusions. Following that, an appropriate IWL primer, IWL CS, or IWL blown bitumen is applied to the surface (for more details, refer to the relevant data sheets of the primer or blown bitumen). By rolling Hyperplas Fiberglass over the surface with a flame (with 10 cm overlaps), it is connected to the substrate. A flame torch will be used to seal the overlaps. Sewers, expansion joints, and other irregularities necessitate particular vigilance. The Hyperplas Application Guide includes application information. On accessible rooftops, Hyperplas Fiberglass can be covered with toppings such as cement screed or tiles reinforced with chicken wire mesh. Roofs that cannot be accessed can be covered with IWL bitumen and IWL aluminum paint.

Water and moisture damage to homes and businesses may be costly to repair and can endanger people's health.
