"Water drain" (waterproofing): application and feedback

Waterproofing materials during construction work are very popular among private and professional consumers. Today they are on sale in a wide range. Among other things, we should highlight the material "Water Drain", which is produced under the brands "Glims" and Ivsil.

The advantages are high adhesion and vapor permeability. After drying, the layer acquires weather resistance and high resistance to frost. More detailed information you can read the reviews, as well as recommendations for use.

Areas of use

"Water drain" - waterproofing, which is a dry composition on the basis of cement. It is used to protect buildings outside and inside, to seal tanks, pools and tanks that come into contact with drinking water. The material can be used with different materials, this includes:

• Plastered surfaces;
• a rock;
• concrete;
• brick.

"Water drain" - waterproofing, which is popular because of its outstanding characteristics. The material is highly adhesive and has a low modulus of elasticity. After drying the layer has high strength and is resistant to low temperatures. The structures protected in this way can be operated at a temperature range of -50 to +70 ° C.

Key Features

Surface of waterproofing remains resistant to:

• Alkalis;
• Diluted acids;
• Petrol and oil mixtures;
• Saline solutions.

Among the additional advantages, it is necessary to highlight environmental safety and the possibility of using on wet grounds, but with a note that they should not be wet. Damp-proof waterproofing "Drain" has a fairly economical expense. With a thickness of up to 3 mm per square meter of area, only 4.5 kg is needed.

Application Features

Waterproofing "Glims" must be applied to prepared surfaces, which are cleaned from paint, dust, oil stains and other layers. It is important to make sure that the foundation is strong enough. On a dry surface with a brush with a rigid pile it is necessary to apply a primer, and if the surface is wet, a dry mixture "Hydroplomb" should be rubbed into it.

"Water drain" - waterproofing, the application of which must be carried out according to a certain technology. Thus, a solution is prepared by dropping a dry mixture into clean water. For 1 kg of powder will need about 0.34 liters of water. If you want to close a 20-kg bag, it will take approximately 6.8 liters of liquid.

The mixer needs to be supplemented with a special nozzle, only after that the mixture can be mixed until it reaches the uniformity consistency. After 10 minutes the mixture must be mixed again, and after mixing it will remain viable for another 4 hours. To revive the thickened solution it is possible by a method of mixing, water it is not necessary to add.

Application to the surface

"Glyms Waters" - waterproofing coating, which should be applied with a spatula or a rough brush. The thickness of the layer should not exceed 3 mm. If it is necessary to form a thicker layer, it is necessary to apply a second layer, but it must be done in a day. The same technology comes with the third.

Each applied layer must dry before applying the next one, this will take 24 hours. The dry surface should be soaked, this will allow to identify defects. The layers are applied perpendicular to each other. For the bathrooms there will be enough 2 layers, but if necessary, waterproofing the pool can be applied. 3. When building new buildings waterproofing is applied to the external surfaces. At the same time, the ambient temperature should not fall below +5 ° С.

Reviews about the expense

"Water drain" - waterproofing, which is applied by the method of forming protection in several layers. For example, for the external treatment of cellars and foundations, it will be necessary to apply two layers, the thickness of the first of which is 3 mm. According to the buyers, in this case the consumption per 1 m ² will be 8 kg.

If you want to process the cellar from the inside, then the 3-mm layer, according to users, will require 12 kg per square meter. For cesspools, reservoirs, pools and hydraulic structures, the same amount of composition will be required, whereas the number of layers should be three.

Consumers emphasize that for tanks where oil products will be stored during operation, it will be necessary to have 8 kg per square meter of a three-millimeter layer. The latter will need two. "Drain" - waterproofing, which should not be applied to metal painted surfaces. If necessary, consumers are advised to remove the paint first.

Reviews about waterproofing "Water" from the manufacturer "Ivsil"

This lubricating waterproofing guarantees watertightness of monolithic coatings. The composition contains high-quality materials, namely:

• cement;
• Special fractionated filler;
• Polymer additives.

According to consumers, this material can be used for waterproofing cement screed, brickwork, plaster and concrete. If three layers are supposed to be applied, then consumers are advised to use the brush, whereas when forming the protection in two layers it is necessary to stock up with a spatula. The thickness of the first layer should not exceed 1.5 mm.

Application of waterproofing "Ivsil the Water"

"Ivsil the Water" - waterproofing, the reviews of which were presented above and can help you make the right choice. The application of the material should be carried out on the prepared surface, which is smooth and free of seams, faults and cracks.

From damage you can get rid of a special solution "Hydroplomb". The strength of the substrate should be 15 MPa. If it is a question of surfaces from concrete and a brick, they should be sustained within three months. If you plan to use when applying a spatula, then 1 kg of dry mix will need 0.22 liters of water. While using a brush or brush for 1 kg of the formulation, 0.25 liters of water will be needed.

Each successive layer is applied over a wet surface that is not completely dry. For the application of the following coatings, the waterproofing layer must dry out, this can take up to two days. The thickness of the layer is determined depending on the purpose of the room. If the humidity level is increased, and the likelihood of leakage is high, the thickness of the layer can vary between 1 and 2 mm. If the room is sufficiently wet, but the waterproofing surfaces will be constantly in contact with water, but without pressure, then the layer thickness should be increased to 3 mm. This applies to small fountains and showers.

Conclusion

From the penetration of moisture to protect the building is quite difficult. This task can be considered responsible. For its execution, only the best materials are selected, which are capable of eliminating the contact of surfaces with moisture.

The above waterproofing is suitable for operations that involve increased attention and control. As a result, it is possible to obtain a perfectly flat surface that will not require additional intervention during operation.
