HOW TO WATERPROOF YOUR BATHROOM<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

In many European countries, it is already compulsory to waterproof the bathroom before tiling.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are many cases in which water from the bath or shower runs through the wall and damp stains appear in the neighbour’s or our own wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Can it be avoided?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Today it CAN be avoided. In contrast to the old solutions that were difficult, costly and time-consuming to apply, the latest advances in chemistry offer products that are very economical and practical for any construction worker to apply.<\/p>\n

What do the regulations specify?<\/b><\/h3>\n

In this respect, the most advanced recommendations are those proposed by the ZDB Central Association of the German Construction Industry. They divide the presence of water into four classes:<\/p>\n

Class I: Possible splashes of water over a short period of time.<\/p>\n

Class II: Continuous presence of water without there being still water.<\/p>\n

Class III: Outdoor buildings.<\/p>\n

Class IV: Continuous presence of water without still water and with aggressive cleaning products and with high mechanical aggressions.<\/p>\n

Our case corresponds to Class II: toilets, changing rooms, showers without ceramic tiles and sanitary premises in public and industrial areas with drains in the floor.<\/p>\n

A new chemical breakthrough<\/b><\/h3>\n

The simplest and most practical solution is the one that combines a quick installation of the waterproofing product with perfect bonding of the tile adhesive and the ceramic tile. For this purpose, the possibilities offered by resin-based dispersion paints are the most suitable.<\/p>\n

Technical requirements<\/b><\/h3>\n

Fortunately, the requirements for these products are on a par with those for bonding cements, so their reliability is guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Good tensile strength is required to support ceramic tiles; sufficient elongation is required to be able to cover micro-cracks; and water impermeability and water vapour permeability are also required to prevent internal condensation from misting.<\/p>\n

The Fixcer proposal<\/b><\/h3>\n

Four steps are recommended for this type of waterproofing and four products are proposed:<\/p>\n

*priming of the absorbent bases as preliminary preparation: HIDROPRIMER<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

*protection of wall-floor junctions, pipe conduits, corners,… with ultra-elastic security tapes: FIX-BANDA<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

*two-coat application of the waterproof paint: HIDROFACIL<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

*bonding of ceramic tiles with flexible cement-based adhesives: FIXAFLEX GEL<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

These are prepared ready-to-use products. This prevents any problems due to incorrect dosage and the surplus will always be in perfect condition for the next waterproofing.<\/p>\n
