There are many products with different ingredients for waterproofing. However, not every product can be used with the same efficiency in every area. Insulation materials that do not provide 100% protection on their own offer higher performance when supported by complementary products. Here are recommended waterproofing solutions for different areas:
1- Foundation and Retaining Walls
For foundations and retaining walls, products with elastic, high adhesion strength and resistance to positive water pressure should be preferred.
Solution:
– B-Mix Primer
– B-Mix 2K (Bitumen rubber based flexible waterproofing material)
– B-Mix 1K (Double component fully elastic waterproofing mortar)
2- Basement Walls and Water Tanks
For basement walls and water tanks that are constantly exposed to water, cement-based products that will not lose their function when in contact with water should be used.
Solution:
– Barkolin (Crystallized waterproofing mortar)
3- Wet Areas
Flexible products with high water cut-off capacity should be used in bathrooms, kitchens and other wet areas.
Solution:
* Barkiteks Ultra (Double Component Fully Elastic Waterproofing Mortar)
* Barkiteks Ultra Plus (Double Component Fully Elastic Waterproofing Mortar)
4- Pools
Insulation products that are resistant to pressurized water and constant humidity and provide high flexibility should be preferred.
Solution:
– Akrotek (Uv Resistant, Acrylic Based, Flexible Waterproofing Material)
– Barkiteks Ultra (Double Component Fully Elastic Waterproofing Mortar)
– Barkiteks Ultra Plus (Double Component Fully Elastic Waterproofing Mortar)
5- Unnavigable Sloping Terraces
Waterproofing materials that are not affected by sunlight, UV resistant and do not fade should be used.
Solution:
– Akrotek (Uv Resistant, Acrylic Based, Flexible Waterproofing Material)
– Barkiteks Ultra (Double Component Fully Elastic Waterproofing Mortar)
6- Active Water Leaks
Sliding waterproofing alone is not sufficient in areas with active water leakage. Cement-based plugs should be used to stop water leakage.
Solution:
– B-Plug Shock plug
With the right product selection, you can achieve maximum efficiency in waterproofing and make your buildings long-lasting.
