Thank you for the favor of "Chengshi Architecture"!
Let Hao Shuilun use the GRETEC Grate Shield construction method to take care of the waterproofing details.
We will work even harder to continuously improve and protect every building.
The following is a transcript of the ”Shicheng Architecture Facebook” post.”
Did you know that waterproof protection requires so many steps to be achieved?
The dark gray paint on the wall, like the indestructible Pan-alloy armor in the film Black Panther, seems to be able to repel water droplets; it is subdued, solid, and thick, able to block moisture from entering the gaps, forming an impenetrable and elastic barrier.
As #Good room research The '#Bathroom and toilet waterproofAs we enter the final stages of construction, let me take you inside the site today to discuss what our ultimate commitment to waterproofing at home is. What does the waterproofing process involve? What other details of the process are hidden within it?
No more talking nonsense; let’s go straight from STEP1 to STEP8, focusing all our attention and watching carefully!
#STEP1_Leveling the groundFirst, the dust, mud, and excess debris on the ground and walls will be cleaned to ensure that the waterproofing material can be applied directly to the structural surface.
#STEP2_Reinforcement of the pipe edgeLeaks are prone to occur at junctions between different materials, so we reinforced the area using the flexible and waterproof POLYKKO PS1K (Polymeric Rubber). We paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that no gaps or cracks were left, effectively providing waterproof protection at the seams.
#STEP3_Thickening primerRoller brush is used to apply primer, which solidifies fine dust and increases the adhesion of subsequent materials.
#STEP4_Waterproof mortar fillingUsing waterproof mortar, hand-filled the gaps created during the construction of red bricks, making the surface smooth and slippery, thereby achieving the initial waterproof effect of the waterproofing coating.
#STEP5_First coat of waterproof paintOkay... the preliminary work is finally complete. Next, using a roller or brush, apply the "combination of strength and elasticity" waterproof paint – ELASTOKKO C-300 elastic composite – to the horizontal and vertical surfaces. After completion, the waterproof layer's strength will increase over the 6-16 hours of curing and drying time. (The curing time varies depending on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions.)
#STEP6_Corner reinforcementAfter the first layer of waterproof paint has cured and dried, the professional filling gun is attached to the aforementioned POLYKKO PS1K (Polyrok) hose to reinforce the waterproof protective layer.
#STEP7_Second layer of waterproof paintAfter the gel dries, the second coat of waterproofing paint is applied. As can be seen in the image, when applying the second coat, different color paints are used to ensure:
Two procedures have indeed been implemented!
#STEP8_Water release testNext comes the most important final step: checking the water level. Fill the bathroom with water up to 3 cm deep for 72 hours to fully check that the waterproofing has been done flawlessly. If there is any water leakage, the location will be recorded and waterproof reinforcement will be carried out within the deadline.
After going through this long and detailed waterproofing process, I finally understood that it takes so many steps to achieve this level of protection—thank you to the partners who are so meticulous and attentive in their work! DAISIN 。
