Wet areas are the spaces where water is used most intensively in structures and therefore carry the highest risk. Water leaks occurring under tiles, especially in bathrooms and kitchens, can lead to blistering, damp odors, and mold formation in a short time. This situation both produces aesthetically disturbing results and shortens the lifespan of the structure.

Barkiteks and Barkiteks Extra, developed by Barkim, offer the most reliable solutions for under-ceramic waterproofing in these areas. Thanks to its two-component structure, it adheres strongly to the surface, and with its elastic property, it shows resistance against cracks that may occur. Tile installation can proceed after application, and secure protection is provided for years. The Barkiteks series stands out as a long-lasting solution to protect the interiors of your structure against the corrosive effects of water.

Waterproofing on Terraces and Balconies: Durability Against Sun and Rain

Terraces and balconies are surfaces directly exposed to rain, snow, and sunlight. Incorrect product selection in these regions can cause the insulation to deteriorate in a short time and lead to blistering and moisture problems on lower floors. The lifespan of waterproofing is significantly shortened, especially on surfaces left unprotected against the sun’s harmful UV rays.

At this point, Barkim’s Barkiteks UV product stands out with its special formula. It provides high resistance against the sun thanks to its UV resistance, prevents cracking with its elastic structure, and offers long-term protection. This product, which can be safely preferred for exposed terraces, balconies, and roof applications, is also resistant to light pedestrian traffic. For those seeking a permanent solution in outdoor spaces, Barkiteks UV offers functionality and durability together.

Waterproofing in Foundations and Basements: Protect Your Structure from the Ground Up

Foundations are the most critical point determining the stability of a structure. Groundwater and moisture seep in from the foundation, weakening the reinforced concrete structure, and lead to problems such as dampness, bad odors, and mold in basements. Therefore, effective waterproofing in foundations and basements is one of the most important conditions for the building to remain long-lasting and safe.

Barkim’s Barkolin and Barkolin 2K products penetrate the capillary vessels of the concrete with crystallized technology, providing permanent water impermeability. Showing resistance against positive and negative water pressure, these products protect foundations and basements from the destructive effects of water for many years. Especially the flexible structure of Barkolin 2K allows it to be used safely even in hot water tanks and thermal pools. The most effective foundation protection for sturdy structures is possible with the Barkolin series.
