Waterproofing

The importance of Waterproofing

The primary concern for anyone choosing to create a Wetroom is whether the floor or walls will either absorb, or worse let water through. Through our painstaking research and development we have created a system that is guaranteed, not just for a few years, but for life. The two components of this system are firstly the floor membrane and secondly the wall membrane, which are the key products for waterproofing the wetroom floor and walls.

We offer two self adhesive waterproof solutions for the floor membrane, designed for use prior to the application of ceramic tiles or natural stone onto timber or solid floors in wetrooms:

Tilesafe - the professional’s choice for over 15 years, extensively used in both commercial and domestic sectors, is a cold-applied self adhesive membrane which consists of a thick rubberised bituminous waterproof layer incorporating a woven glass fibre mesh on one side. Tilesafe has been accredited as an anti-fracture/decoupling membrane by the UKAS, which means that the effects of possible movement in a timber floor substrate, such as cracked tiles or grout, are minimised. Tilesafe has been acoustically tested and rated according to BS EN ISO 140-8 and BS EN ISO 717-2 and will typically reduce sound transfer by 11dB.

Floorsafe - developed as a lightweight, easy-fit, domestic product, is a cold-applied self adhesive membrane which consists of a thin rubberised butyl waterproof layer with a fleece top surface.

For walls we recommend Wallsafe:

A flexible single application paint-on waterproofing membrane, applied to the wall surfaces prior to the application of ceramic tiles and/or natural stone in wetrooms.
