Waterproofing of the floor in the bathroom

Bathroom - one of the wet rooms, as in a city apartment and a private home.Therefore, the floors in the bathroom, regardless of the material from which they are made, are in need of high-quality insulation, otherwise possible leakage of water through the floor slabs, the formation of mold, mildew, and the gradual destruction of structures.

Types

waterproofing materials for waterproofing floor are:

• Wood banding with waterproofing impregnation, available in roll form;
• lubricative as mastics and pastes, liquids at different manner;
• Dry mixture for dilution with water;
• Penetrating hydroprotection to impregnate the concrete;
• Gidrobarer on rubber or polymer based.

waterproofing All species have their own characteristics that determine the scope of their application.Bathrooms often used Wood banding or obmazochnye materials based on bitumen, rubber or polymer.

floor Waterproofing Okleechnaya way

Roll materials based on bitumen, improved polymers, reinforcing layer of fiberglass or synthetic materials.They are pontoon requiring heating during installation and self-adhesive.For the bathroom is better to use roll materials with adhesive base, as the pontoon require the use of a gas burner, which is not always convenient and feasible in the apartment.In addition, when heated, they emit a strong odor of bitumen that is not vented out of the bathroom for a long time.

great option for waterproofing roll materials based on bitumen

technology covering a concrete floor self-adhesive roll materials:

1. Gender aligned, eliminating cracks, hollows and bumps.height difference should not be more than 2 cm. to sweep it with a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
2. subfloor covered with bituminous primer, allow it to dry out.
3. Slice the rolled material on the floor length, leaving a margin on the walls of at least 15-20 cm on each side.

Lay strips on the floor, stykuya their lap.Ulozheniju web material carefully rolled solid roller to remove air bubbles and a better bonding.Joints further coat with sealant.

Technology laying bituminous waterproofing

1. in joints and waterproofing around pipes should be laid carefully.Pipes need to further isolate with rubber seals, and fit them to a place further fluff waterproofing sealant.
2. top of the web material immediately after laying concrete screed can be performed, and after - laid topcoat.As the finishing of the floor tiles are most often used.

Necessity screed increases the complexity of back-lining method of waterproofing the floor in the bathroom, but in general, this method is cheaper.If the bath is performed underfloor heating, screed and the device at least 5 cm thick is meant, in any case, waterproofing the floor in the bathroom back-lining method is more suitable.The screed to increase its strength, you can add a reinforcing polypropylene fiber.

surface waterproofing floor

With the development of technology and the appearance on the market a large selection of materials for surface waterproofing is gradually replacing the floor okleechnuyu.It is performed by a different composition of mastic: bitumen-polymer and bitumen-rubber, cement and polymer.The mastic composition includes various fillers and plasticizers, it increases due to its elasticity and strength.Fillers mastic composition may be in the form of fibers or chips.The structure of most modern mastic also includes components that prevent the appearance of mold and mildew.

Most manufacturers also produce a primer, with high adhesion to the floor and mastic on the same basis.When the waterproofing is better to follow the advice of the mastic manufacturer and use them to the specified primer.

technology application surface waterproofing on the concrete floor:

1. Preparing the floor during application of coating insulation required minimum - it is enough to sweep up and remove particles of debris.Wet cleaning is not recommended, it is better to vacuum the floor thoroughly.Sex
2. coated with a primer using a roller before its complete impregnation of the surface.If the floor has high absorbency capacity, it is covered with two or even three times.Special primer polymer-based, not only improves the adhesion of mastic, but also provide an initial layer of waterproofing.
3. Corners and joints with the walls necessarily glued with a special tape sealing properties.On the tube wear rubber seals, floor joints with them and glued tape.

process of applying surface waterproofing on the concrete floor

• mastic diluted by the manufacturer's recommendations.The consistency is similar to the warm clay.Apply mastic convenient solid roller, and knocks and corners - brush.For good waterproofing mastic applied on the walls to a height of 20 cm.

Sohnut mastic about a day.During this time, you can not walk on the floor and avoid contact with him dust, moisture, foreign objects.Dried waterproofing can be coated with topcoat - tile or granite.

Waterproofing concrete floor in the bathroom

Waterproofing floor in the bathroom with the help of coating mastic asphalt or cement-based polymer has a small thickness, thus it is durable and reliable.However, it is suitable only for concrete floors.If the coating in wooden house, this may be insufficient waterproofing.

In this case, apply using two-component compositions based on rubber.They consist of a direct liquid rubber (liquid rubber) and an activator, which is necessary for its solidification.

wood coatings waterproofing technology

1. Preparation wooden floor under the cover requires some effort and costs - because the rubber composition should not penetrate it, or drastically increase its consumption.Rough floor is cleaned of dirt, put it lags insulation film and a heater plate.The heater can be used as expanded polystyrene, it forms a hard smooth surface.The joints between the boards and joists seal sealant.If the heater is used mineral mats on top of the need to put a layer of waterproof plywood.

Preparation for waterproofing wooden floor

• mixed with liquid rubber aktivatorm and quickly applied it to the floor with a roller, carefully knock promazyvaya floor and walls.
• Wait for drying liquid rubber waterproofing and assess the quality - its surface should be smooth and uniform.If necessary, the second layer is applied.
• Finish produced in the usual way.It is necessary to bear in mind that the adhesion of a conventional tile adhesive to the rubber compound is usually not sufficient, so we need to perform screed with reinforcing mesh.

This method of waterproofing can be applied not only for wood, and concrete.waterproofing quality with this method allows you to apply it even in very wet areas, including the swimming pool and bath washing compartment.

final stage of waterproofing the wooden floor

When the floor in the bathroom waterproofing any of the above methods it is important to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the material, especially in the time of drying of the coating.Insufficient exposure surface waterproofing may result in cracking after finishing work.
