High-quality waterproofing is the perfect solution to the problem of roof leaks. Depending on the material it is made of, waterproofing can be of three types: bitumen, polymer or cement.
Undoubtedly, the most common is bitumen waterproofing, but in specific cases, cement waterproofing is the more suitable option and is therefore also often used. It is worth noting that this system is gaining great popularity. The fact is that in recent years, cement waterproofing has been increasingly sought after on the market. It is the ideal option for application in apartments.
WHY CHOOSE CEMENT WATERPROOFING?
Why is cement waterproofing so applicable? The answer lies in its advantages.
Above all, this insulation system has the best price/performance ratio. The main characteristics of this type are also among its advantages. An important specific feature is that it provides instant strength and resistance to external influences. Once dry, cement waterproofing has zero water permeability. In addition, it guarantees maximum protection from external atmospheric influences such as wind, rain, snow, mechanical particles, etc. It is no coincidence that this waterproofing is preferred for spa centers, rooms with swimming pools, bathrooms, fountains, etc.
Permanent moisture protection is one of the biggest advantages of this system. Many products are characterized as ideal for this purpose, but we need to make sure that this is really the case. Recently, more and more information has begun to spread about satisfied users who share their opinion on which cement waterproofing has done the best job for them.
Cement waterproofing is suitable not only for interior use, but also for exterior use. That is, if you are waterproofing a tank or pool, for example, make sure that the selected product can provide you with ideal protection from mechanical particles, UV radiation, etc.
HOW TO CHOOSE CEMENT WATERPROOFING?
If you have decided to choose cement waterproofing, you should know that there are several key requirements that you must comply with in order to make the right decision. Here are what they are:
- Zero water absorption: it is of paramount importance to choose a product that is truly resistant to various leaks and water effects. Due to the fact that cement waterproofing is suitable for both internal and external surfaces, we must make sure that the structure of the material will be able to withstand various atmospheric influences. The penetration of water into the material would drastically reduce its strength, and with it the structure of the entire structure.
- Extreme strength and adhesion to a wide range of building substrates: no one would want to buy a product that would limit them in terms of the surface on which it can be laid. We must also strictly follow the main points set out in the rules of use. Laying the material on an uncleaned substrate, with high humidity and dustiness would prevent us from achieving the results we want.
- Durable and at the same time elastic structure: it is key to choose a cement waterproofing characterized by a strong structure that does not allow cracks to appear in the base. The material we choose must include the qualities necessary to protect the surface from mechanical particles. Resistance to wind and external atmospheric factors also prove to be key to the strength of the structure we insulate. Elasticity, in turn, reduces direct susceptibility to temperature amplitudes, thus making cement insulation a safe and reliable way to protect the place where it is laid.
If we had to summarize - aim for a product that represents a mixture of the above qualities.
TYPES OF CEMENT WATERPROOFING
Cement waterproofing is of two types - one-component and two-component, the second being better. It resembles terracotta, but seals better and is elastic. It provides perfect protection for the surface of reinforced concrete elements. It can be applied with one coat of a brush horizontally and the second coat - vertically. It is not a final coating. A screed is made on top of it.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
With us you can find cement waterproofing of two types - one-component and two-component. As we have already noted, the second is of a higher quality class, which is also reflected in the price. The two-component alternative waterproofing from the German brand ARDEX, for example, is suitable for both external and internal use for laying under tiles and boards. In interior rooms it protects walls, floors and corners from moisture, and in the exterior it ensures that balconies and terraces remain dry. This exceptionally high-quality product is available in different packages of 5 and 25 kg.
The same brand also offers an elastic one-component waterproofing, also intended for interior and exterior use, for walls and floors. It is used for covering pipe openings, bathtub and floor drain connections, leveling and filling in unevenness. An indication of the high quality of the product is that it meets the requirements of the Professional Union of the German Tile Industry.
Also of interest is the proposal from SIKA - a two-component waterproofing, which consists of a liquid polymer and a dry cement mixture. They are mixed easily and quickly, without the need to add water. This product is applied manually or by spraying and guarantees very good protection against water penetration, as well as moisture on concrete, cement plasters and masonry.
Our prices are affordable.
