No construction can take place without waterproofing materials, especially if these objects are under constant or very frequent exposure to moisture. Terraces are just such objects.
Why waterproofing the terrace?Waterproofing of the terrace is necessary for the following reasons:
Protection of the surface from destruction under the influence of moisture, as it is known that water is one of the main destructive substances, despite all its advantages.- Protection of the surface from destruction under the influence of salts, which leave behind precipitation. It is for this reason that it is necessary to choose waterproofing for the terrace, which protects the surface not only from the effects of water, but also salts, chlorides and various chemicals.
- Ensuring the prevention of the formation of fungus, mold and other microorganisms on the surface, which are very difficult to remove.
- Ensuring the prevention of peeling of facing materials.

Since coating waterproofing is the most popular type of waterproofing today, we suggest you familiarize yourself with one of the materials of this type.
Teknomer 600 2K is a very high–quality material from the type of coating waterproofing, the Teknomer 600 2K waterproofing material is made on the basis of polyurethanes, which provide high strength and elasticity of the finished surface.
In addition to resistance to water, the material protects the surface from the effects of salts, acids and sulfates.
The adhesion of Teknomer 600 2K is more than 2 N/mm2.
The material consumption when applied in 1 mm is 1.4-1.5 kg/m2.
Moisture resistance – 5%.
1 layer dries within 5 hours.
