WaterproofingA Wetroom
Wetrooms are an essential addition to your home offering spacious shower rooms & stylish look. To retain its benefits & charm, proper installation is necessary. One of the most important aspects of the installation is waterproofing a wetroom.
A professional who has the experience & skill to do the job perfectly should carry out wet proofing. All wet rooms have a single opening to drain the water out. As the place is exposed to lots of water usage, it remains wet most of the times. In addition, there is an increased chance of leakages, dampness, & cracks. That is why it is important that waterproofing should be done correctly.
Once the shower area is provided with an efficient drainage system. The next step is to seal the room with waterproofing technologies. Now, there are many methods of waterproofing a wet area. Tile safe is a self-adhesive water proofing membrane, which is developed to apply prior to the application of ceramic tiles or natural stones on timber & solid floors. One of the safest ways of creating a water tight wet area is developing a gap between the tiles & floors & walls. Tile safe comprises of a thick rubberised waterproof layer incorporating a woven glass fibre mesh on one side.
Quick, easy to apply providing a guaranteed consistent wet proofing layer. Screed safe water proofing membrane can be directly applied onto concrete & screeded floors. It bonds very well with the tiles. Another widely used form of wet lining is GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), which is made up of glass fibre & plastic. It is durable to cope up with any external pressure. It is not damaged due to water pressure or wetness. Also, it does not leave behind any visible joints and thus retains the beauty & charm of the area.
It is essential to waterproof the whole room, walls, & floors. Another option of waterproofing is a chemical product eliminating any concern related to water leakage from the gaps. As many of the products are environmentally friendly, it is widely considered by many customers. Depending on the absorbency of the underlying substrate, there are many products available in the market. Whatever water resistant technique you choose, it is required to apply waterproof tape to all the corners & wall-floor joints before the substrate is ready for laying tiles. Some very large porcelain tiles are available in the market today.
You can choose to use them however, keep in mind that large tiles are difficult to cut & design to the required shape to create the correct slope towards the drain. Smaller tiles are easy for creating the perfect gradient. Smaller tiles provide larger areas of grouting & hence are more slip resistant than larger tiles. Wet room installation requires an experience & expertise to provide the right solution for the specific wet area. Only specialists know the products or techniques to use during installation to get optimum satisfaction. Thus, you are required to contact or hire professionals from a trusted company to deal with wetroom design & installation.
