Concrete is the building material that begins to collapse very, very quickly without protection. One of the main destroyers of concrete, of course, is water. Therefore, the stage of applying waterproofing to concrete surfaces is a very necessary stage in construction for buildings of any type.
How to protect concrete from the destructive effects of moisture - in this article we will talk.
What kind of waterproofing is necessary to cover the concrete?
There are several types of waterproofing materials that do an excellent job of protecting concrete from moisture.
Among them:
Penetrating;- Obmazochnaya;
- Painting;
- Pasting and others.
If we talk about the universal form, then it is the penetrating waterproofing that accommodates many characteristics of other types.
What is penetrating waterproofing?Penetrating waterproofing is waterproofing that penetrates into the pores of the concrete surface and creates protection against both types of pressure: positive and negative.
This type of waterproofing is used both inside and outside structures, both in warm and cold rooms, and protects concrete from both temporary and permanent exposure to water.
What are the advantages of using penetrating waterproofing?
High-quality penetrating waterproofing will perfectly protect the surface from moisture, since it:
Penetrates deeply into the concrete, forever akin to it provides complete insulation from moisture;- Not afraid of temperature changes;
- Not afraid of cold rooms;
- Resistant to some chemicals.
Just penetrating waterproofing, like any other type of waterproofing, prevents the formation of fungi, mosses and other unnecessary animals on concrete and indoors, which multiply and gradually destroy the surface.
On which surfaces should not penetrating waterproofing be applied?
Penetrating waterproofing is a material that is designed to treat surfaces with a narrow porous structure, like concrete.
Therefore, it cannot cope with the protection of porous materials, for example, foam concrete. Of course, you will not harm the porous surface, but you should not expect a super effect either.
