Varieties of concrete waterproofing: how to choose

Waterproofing is the process of protecting buildings and structures from water penetration. Water penetrates the most different places of buildings and structures. The most problematic for water penetrations are basements and roofs. Thanks to water insulation, it is possible to increase the strength and reliability of the building. Thanks to water insulation, the negative effect of moisture is entirely excluded. In modern times, concrete waterproofing is performed by the following building materials:

– leaf synthetic building materials (Ondulin, Polycarboonades);

– membranes (composite, EPDM, TPO, PVC);

– bitumen -melted building materials (glass insol, roofing material);

– metal sheets (folding roofs, corrugated board);

– dry cement -containing mixtures;

– rolled non -welded building materials and non -melted (soft tiles, tiles);

– liquid synthetic mastics (polymochevin, polyurethane mastic).

There are several types of waterproofing:

– Plastering waterproofing – coating thickness of 20 millimeters (often used to protect concrete buildings);

– Injection waterproofing – coating thickness of 20 millimeters (introduced into concrete by drilling technological holes);

– Cast waterproofing – the thickness of the coating is 25 millimeters (performed using a direct spill of hot asphalt -containing mastics);

– Sprayed waterproofing – the thickness of the coating in several layers (applied by free mixing devices in 2-3 layers);

– Coloring waterproofing – coating thickness 2 millimeters;

– Enough waterproofing – the thickness of the coating in several layers;

– Impregnation waterproofing – represents the filling of porous materials;

– Penetrating waterproofing – made of quartz sand and cement;

– Mounted waterproofing – represents the prefabricated devices hermetically enslaved m/y.
