No repairs, no construction site can do without the use of waterproofing today. Since the protection of the structure from moisture is one of the most important stages of repair and construction work, thanks to which the service life of the room is significantly extended.
Liquid waterproofing is one of the types of waterproofing, which we would like to talk about in our article.
Among the fields of application of waterproofing are the following:
- Construction of residential premises of any type;
- Construction of swimming pools, basements;
- Construction and improvement of terraces, open balconies, bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity;
- Bridge construction;
- Construction of large-scale reinforced concrete structures of any type;
- Construction of reservoirs and other containers intended for water storage;
- Construction of drains and processing of pipes.
In fact, the scope of waterproofing can be listed for a very long time, since it is moisture that is the destructive fluid of a variety of materials.
What functions does liquid waterproofing perform, which is an indispensable stage in repair and construction work?
First of all, it must be said that high–quality liquid waterproofing is a material that forms a seamless coating on which there should be no seams or joints.
Due to this, the penetration of moisture becomes impossible. This is especially important for structures that are in constant contact with water, such as swimming pools and bridges.
Also, depending on the scope of operation, liquid waterproofing can be elastic and inelastic. The first is important when used in structures in which there are constant temperature changes.
In addition to the above functions and features, waterproofing forms a layer resistant to ignition, chemicals and aggressive environment.
And finally, liquid waterproofing mixtures do not contain toxic substances in their composition, so it is an eco-friendly material with a wide range of operation and high strength.
