Make the base clean, stable and shaped for water movement.
- Check slope to drains, surface strength, moisture and crack condition.
- Form coves, corners, upstands and pipe penetration details.
- Prime only after dust, laitance and loose material are removed.
Punto de control: Membrane application should not start until slope, substrate and penetration details are accepted.
Herramientas, equipos y acceso: Moisture meter, Scraper, Vacuum, Primer roller, Slope gauge
02 Install membrane and reinforcement
Create a continuous system through field areas and critical details.
- Apply the specified coats, sheets or membrane system at required thickness.
- Reinforce corners, drains, joints, pipe sleeves and thresholds.
- Protect fresh membrane from dust, trades and mechanical damage.
Punto de control: Do not tile, screed or cover until membrane thickness and critical details are checked.
Herramientas, equipos y acceso: Wet film gauge, Detail brush, Roller, Membrane scissors, Joint tape
03 Test, protect and release to finishes
Prove the waterproofing before it becomes inaccessible.
- Carry out flood, ponding or local water testing where suitable.
- Photograph drains, corners, upstands and penetrations.
- Install protection before screed, tile or equipment installation.
Punto de control: Finish works should not proceed until test result, protection and photo evidence are complete.
