WHY DO YOU NEED WATERPROOFING?
With all of its advantages, facing tiles cannot replace waterproofing. The seams are the critical elements. Moisture can penetrate the base through the seams, causing lasting damage, such as: moisture saturation and damage to the base, moulds and fungus.

Until recently, builders neglected bathroom waterproofing during repairs, leading to a host of ugly problems for homeowners.
Now there is a solution to these problems! Most importantly, think in advance and choose the right waterproofing. The right waterproofing prevents the breakdown of materials, eliminates the risk of flooding the neighbours downstairs, and protects from external moisture and microorganisms harmful to human health.

HOW TO USE WATERPROOFING?
Wet rooms with water sources must be waterproofed in "wet areas":

  • all over the floor surface;
  • at the bottom of the walls, at a height of at least 10 cm from the floor surface;
  • all over the surface of the walls in shower cubicles, going beyond by least 50 cm;
  • on the walls behind sinks and bathtubs, at least 20 cm above the water source (mixer tap or the highest position of the showerhead) and at least 50 cm from the edges of the bathtubs and sinks;
  • all over the surface of plasterboard structures.

HYDRO-TEC MEMBRANE is applied before tiling.
