Waterproof system installation under tiles | Innovation

Most people assume that tiles are waterproof, which is a common misconception. Though ceramic or porcelain tiles are, the grout between them is not. So, you can’t expect tile flooring to prevent the intrusion of moisture or the be waterproof. It’s necessary to waterproof shower walls prior to tile installation. Without a waterproof (liquid) membrane beneath that layer, small lines will gradually absorb water and cause damage. By waterproofing your shower walls prior to tiling, you prevent mold and deterioration, which can cause serious liabilities when you are a contractor or professional installer. With our three systems, this all will be in the past.

IDEAL SOLUTIONS FOR WET ROOM

Waterproofing is the most critical part of the tile installation. If it’s not installed correctly it can result in mold, which can cause serious health problems.

Make sure your work area is clean
Existing surface material such as painted surfaces should be removed
Check the ground concrete for excess moisture
Prepare substrate
Apply liquid membrane on walls
Do a flood test
