About Waterproofing of Kitchen - Bathrooms and Sunken Areas

Kitchen waterproofing involves preparing the surface, sealing joints and cracks, and applying a waterproofing membrane or coating, often using materials like cementitious mixes or liquid membranes.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the process:

1. Surface Preparation:

Clean Thoroughly:

Remove any dirt, debris, grease, or loose material from the walls and floor.
Repair Cracks:

Address any cracks or damage to the surface before applying waterproofing materials.
Ensure Dryness:

Make sure the surface is completely dry before starting the waterproofing process.

2. Sealing Joints and Seams:

Identify Problem Areas:

Focus on areas where water is likely to penetrate, such as joints, seams, and around pipes and fixtures.
Apply Sealant:

Use a high-quality sealant compatible with the waterproofing material and the specific application.
Ensure a Strong Seal:

Apply the sealant smoothly and evenly to create a continuous, durable seal.

3. Waterproofing Application:

Choose a Waterproofing Method:
Cementitious Waterproofing: Mix waterproofing chemicals with cement to create a paste, which is applied directly to walls and floors.

Liquid Waterproofing: Apply liquid membranes (e.g., acrylic, polyurethane) using a brush, roller, or spray.

Waterproofing Membranes: Use sheets of material (e.g., vinyl, polyethylene) as a barrier between the surface and water.

Highly Effective Waterproofing for Wet Interior Spaces

Designed to address moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and sunken slabs, this waterproofing solution delivers robust protection. Its liquid membrane forms a seamless layer, preventing water ingress even over minor cracks when properly reinforced. With rapid touch-drying and complete curing in just 24 hours, interiors can be safeguarded efficiently without extended downtime.

User-Friendly Application and Reliable Coverage

The membrane can be applied using a brush, roller, or trowel in two coats, achieving a recommended thickness of 1.0-1.5 mm. Each application covers 1-1.5 kg/m2, ensuring reliable protection on various surfaces. Clear guidelines for substrate preparation and recoating intervals guarantee ease of use for contractors and homeowners alike.
