THE PROJECT
Trueproof approached our Queensland team seeking a basement waterproofing solution. They knew they wanted to use PVC membranes but were seeking a more efficient way to waterproof around a very detailed system of footings, rebar and pile caps.
THE SOLUTION
A flexible PVC synthetic membrane, Proofex PGP saved time and money due to the ease and speed of installation. The puncture resistant membranes were loose laid on a blinding slab and connected with epoxy paste Fosroc Nitomortar AP followed by hot air welding.
The use of Polyurea WHE110 to spray around the footings was a gamechanger, saving a lot of time compared to wrapping and cutting the sheets around each structural element. It adhered strongly to the Proofex PGP to create a strong single layer of waterproofing across the entire basement and lift pit.
Finally, a topcoat of Nitoflor PA was applied with Nitoflor Anti-Slip Grains 41 mixed in.
This polyaspartic coating is ideal for boosting the lifespan and appearance of new and existing floors.
Both the customer and the applicator were delighted with the durable, good-looking result and fast application process.
