Floor waterproofing is done primarily to protect the building from dampness, fungus and other damage that moisture levels can provoke. Since the foundation is the basis of any construction object, the question of high-quality waterproofing arises by itself. Properly executed construction work, combined with well-chosen materials, will help maintain favorable indoor conditions for many years.

Dampness negatively affects all elements of the floor structure. When water enters the structure, it does not evaporate, but gradually destroys layer by layer. If you do not carry out waterproofing work, the moisture level can rise to the finish coating and deform it. The lack of waterproofing for the floor affects the microclimate of the room, as well as materials and structures that fall under the destructive action of water.

To protect the floor from moisture, a layer of waterproofing is applied under or above the screed, which does not allow water to pass to the base and due to which the screed dries evenly over its entire thickness, without forming cracks.

How to choose floor waterproofing?

Floor waterproofing is done with pastes and dry mixes. The necessary materials for waterproofing the floor should be chosen based on what issue you want to close.

Note the following factors:

  • subfloor type and condition
  • type of premises (residential/non-residential)
  • area
  • Deadline
  • budget
  • sustainability

Types of waterproofing

Types of floor waterproofing are divided into three types:

  • coating
  • roll
  • liquid

The base of the coating waterproofing can consist of bitumen, cement or polymers.

Bitumen is a resin-like product that is quite inexpensive in its price range, as a result of which it is often used to process large open areas, basements. This material exudes a pungent odor, which will take up to 7 days to weather, which is why it is rarely used in residential premises. For better adhesion, additional fillers are added such as latex, polyurethane or acrylic.

Cement-based coating waterproofing contains screened sand and mineral additives. Such mixtures are used for most types of floors, except for wood. The price range is high. Cement mastic tends to crack, and you should also expect that you will need more time to carry out installation work.

Polymeric mastics, which include polypropylene, silicone or acrylic, are distinguished by their high strength and hydro-thermal insulating properties. This type of coating waterproofing has good elastic characteristics, does not emit toxins, dries quickly, and is fireproof. Due to the listed positive properties, the price range of coating waterproofing based on polymers is high.

Roll waterproofing for the floor is roofing material, PVC membranes and polyethylene film. These types of waterproofing for the floor are the most affordable in the price segment, but not durable.

And finally, liquid waterproofing, one of the strongest and most durable insulations. An absolutely seamless coating with high adhesion to most materials is applied by spray or brush.

Liquid waterproofing compositions are made on the basis of:

  • bitumen
  • liquid glass
  • polymer-added cement

Bitumen or liquid rubber is a one- or two-component mastic that dries within 10 minutes, forming an elastic membrane layer, stretchable and does not crack.

Liquid glass has high penetration into all seams and gaps. It is odorless and is often used for floor waterproofing in apartments.

Liquid polymer waterproofing is often used to insulate a strong concrete base, as polymer crystals destroy fragile surfaces.

Liquid waterproofing is environmentally friendly and odorless, speeds up work, forms a seamless coating.
