In the process of building a house, it is important to think over and provide for all the nuances that in the future may affect its reliability, durability and aesthetic indicators. As you know, almost all materials used during construction work are particularly sensitive to moisture and require additional protection.
For this reason, many building elements require waterproofing. One of the most popular and simple methods of surface treatment is coating waterproofing. Almost all materials for its preparation are offered on the market at affordable prices, and the resulting the composition is easily applied to the surface of walls and floors, without requiring special skills and special tools.
Stages of work
Regardless of the type of coating, it can be applied exclusively to prepared surfaces. They need to be cleaned of old coatings - paints, enamels, varnishes, smoothed using the grinding method, putty in cracks and bumps and degreased.
After preparatory work, the surface must be treated with a primer and allowed to dry. After drying, you can begin to apply the main layer of coating waterproofing. The method of application of the material may vary, depending on its composition. Some materials can be applied using a spray gun, while others require a brush or roller.
Types of coating insulation
One of the most common types is bituminous coating waterproofing. Due to its versatility, the material can be called the best. It can be used to protect external and even internal surfaces, foundations, pipes, piles and collectors from moisture. An advantage is that this type of waterproofing is notable for its low cost and cost-effectiveness.
The bitumen composition can be cold and hot. Cold has the form of a solid substance, softened by heating. It is advisable to use this type for domestic work, because you can independently control the amount of material used and warm it up when there is a shortage.
Polymeric mastics can also be called one of the effective types of insulation of surfaces from moisture. They are characterized by ease of application and a composition that is safe for human health. The only drawback is the high cost of the material.
