Types and Uses
The importance of correct structural waterproofing can hardly be overstated. Significant parts of the UK’s infrastructure depend on it and only 100 per cent accuracy is good enough where structural waterproofing is concerned.
Structural waterproofing might be needed to create a dry environment – such as in basements and cellars, tunnels, lift pits and below-ground commercial premises; to protect surfaces such as highways, car park decks, balconies and roof terraces from deterioration; or for functionality – as in the case of water treatment plants, swimming pools and wet rooms.
Waterproofing systems include barrier systems such as bonded sheet membranes and liquid-applied membranes; cavity drainage; and cementitious tanking. Each of these will be appropriate to different circumstances and sometimes methods will be combined.
It is vital that the best products and techniques are specified in structural waterproofing so always engage professionals.
