Today in Ukraine, unfortunately, the arrangement of bomb shelters is still a pressing issue. For any type of shelter, be it a subway, a shopping center parking lot, or just a small basement of a temporary home, waterproofing plays an important role, because it protects the room from premature destruction under the influence of moisture, as well as from raw materials, which is also very important. After all, spending more than one hour in a damp room will definitely not improve your health.
Therefore, in this article we will talk about waterproofing a bomb shelter from the inside.
How can you waterproof a bomb shelter from the inside?
Waterproofing should be selected depending on the type of structure. For example, Teknomer 200 Crystallized material has a fairly wide range of applications. It is used to protect surfaces in:
- basements;
- ground floors;
- elevator shafts;
- swimming pools;
- bathrooms;
- water tanks, etc.
Teknomer 200 Crystallized waterproofing material is suitable for bomb shelter applications.
- Among the advantages of the material;
- resistance to positive and negative water pressure;
- high adhesion to concrete;
- prevention of carbonation of concrete;
- resistance to freezing and thawing cycles, etc.
How to properly waterproof a bomb shelter from the inside?
Waterproofing a bomb shelter from the inside does not differ at all in the technology of performing the work from any other room.
The material is applied to the pre-repaired surface, cleaned if necessary, in 2-3 layers. To prepare the working solution, pour liquid component A into a clean container and add 5-6 liters of clean water, then add the dry component and mix for 3 minutes, leave the mixed solution for 1 minute, then mix again for 2 minutes.
The first layer of Teknomer 200 Crystallized waterproofing is applied to the dampened surface within 2 hours. Each subsequent layer must be applied after a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 hours perpendicular to the previous one.
Additionally, it is recommended to waterproof corners and joints with Teknomer Pah Bandi 120/70 sealing tape, which will provide waterproofing even when cracks form, which is very important nowadays.
