waterproof membranes

These prevent the leakage of water through to sub floor or wall framing and / or habitable spaces below. Particular attention must be paid to carrying the membrane up the wall, outside shower boxes, installation of bond breakers and sealing around penetrations.

It is strongly recommended that membrane systems are used in all wet areas, including exterior suspended decking. Some systems involve the use of a primer. www.aquamix.com
