Types of waterproofing
As not difficult to guess, there are several types of waterproofing:
- Roll. Used to ensure the safety of moisture buildings, structures and other building structures. This is a roll-roofing bitumen-polymer material that has high water resistance values. In addition to the fact that rolls of waterproofing should perform the functions of protection against moisture, a number of manufacturers offer more advanced rolls. They also protect against the possible germination of plant roots and have chemical protection.
- Oily and sprayable. This is a completely ready to use mixture. It is applied with a spatula or a normal brush. To achieve the desired result, it is recommended to apply several layers gradually. Designed for structures that are in the ground and are constantly in contact with water( foundation or basement).However, it is worth considering that at temperatures below +5 degrees, mastic should not be used immediately. Previously, it must be kept for a day in a warm, heated room, and after that you can safely carry out the planned work.
Application of waterproofing Technonikol is not limited to domestic and partial use. The product is also suitable for industrial applications.
Application of
As already mentioned above, the waterproofing of Tehnonikolne foundation is limited to private residential buildings. Also, the material is actively used in industry and with large-scale construction projects. Particularly relevant material in cases when it comes to deformation joints. These very seams can be necessary in different situations, and in particular, they are divided into the following types:
- Temperature. Warn the tropics and protect the foundation from deformation, which can occur due to temperature fluctuations.
- Sedimentary. Such seams must be made in the foundation, if the sediment of adjacent parts is distributed unevenly or unequally.
- Antiseismic. Their task is not to give the foundation to collapse under an active seismic situation.
Waterproofing will allow the expansion joints to perform their functions even better. In this case, it is best to use mastic, as they have high rates of elasticity, heat resistance, good adhesion to the surface and better resistance to moisture.
It is worth noting that in case of the need for waterproofing in the construction of a private house, the material requirements are reduced due to the reduced load on the foundation itself and the seams. In this case, it is also possible to apply a bitumen primer made on a water basis. Make a choice, if you will do waterproofing for the first time - not difficult. Also it is possible to consult with experts if there are doubts. In addition, often the materials for waterproofing are divided into the following categories:
- Premium. The service life of 30 years, a large selection of colors.
- Business. Allows the waterproofing surface to "breathe" without the need to remove the old insulation.
- Standard. Waterproofing on inclined surfaces.
- Economy. Accessible, quick and easy installation of the material, it is possible to use non-professionals.
As you can see, this choice allows everyone to find what they need. In addition, do not overpay when buying. Waterproofing the foundations of Technonikol is an important and important stage, but making a choice is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. For personal work in a private home, you can limit yourself in the simplest and most economical way, in case of an increased threat to the foundation's moisture, turn to the most reliable option. Technonikol is a time-tested method of protecting buildings and structures from the harmful effects of groundwater, providing a worthy choice for construction in various conditions.
