Water insulation
What is water insulation?
Shield buildings from moisture and leaks.
Water insulation is the process of protecting buildings and facilities from the effects of water and humidity, by creating a barrier that prevents water leakage into the structures
Water insulation is applied to roofs, walls, foundations, and other parts that are susceptible to leaks.
Why is water insulation important?
Maintaining the durability of the building: Water insulation prevents water leakage that leads to corrosion of concrete and iron and damage to the building
Prevent moisture: Water insulation reduces humidity inside the building, preventing mold and mildew growth and protect the health of residents.
Protect Furniture and Contents: Water insulation protects furniture and contents from damage caused by moisture.
Increase the lifespan of the building: Water insulation increase the life of the building and reduces maintenance costs
Types of water insulation materials.
positive waterproofing
Waterproofing is applied after construction is completed, and is used to treat existing leaks or to prevent water from seeping in from the inside to the outside.
Negative water insulation
Water insulation is applied before pouring concrete or building, and is used to prevent water leakage from the outside to the inside
Water insulation with liquid materials
such as epoxy, polyurethane and non-foamed polyurea, they are characterized by their flexibility and ability to cover cracks and gaps.
Water insulation with solid materials
such as membrane and asphalt, it is characterized by its durability and ability to resist pressure
Benefits of water insulation.
- Preventing water leakage: Protects the building from moisture and leaks.
- Maintaining indoor air quality: Reduces the growth of mold and mildew.
- Increasing building durability: Extends the life of the building and reduces maintenance costs.
- Protecting contents: Protects furniture and contents from damage.
- Increasing property value: Water-insulated buildings have a higher value.Increasing property value: Water-insulated buildings have a higher value.
