System Methods

POLYESTER MEMBRANE

These membranes are a rigid type using polyester resin and fibreglass mesh as the reinforcement.

The polyester is a two part system based on a resin formed from an acid anhydride,

The resin is mixed with a peroxide catalyst to cause the resin to harden.

This is the same ubiquitous resin used for rapid production of fibreglass pools, car parts, yotts, tanks AND SO MUCH MORE.

Polyester forms a hard and impermeable surface which is chemically inert.

Trained technical operators can achieve interlaminar adhesion.

HAS PERFECTED this RELIABLE WATERPROOFING SYSTEM.

polyester membrane exhibits fast structural curing.

between 40 and 60 minutes

enabling the installer to re layer with

subsequent, tie layers of the membrane,

without risk or damage to previous layers.

MANY DEFECTS are OVERLOOKED by installers of waterproofing within a bathroom.

the water stop in the shower area SEPARATING THE WATERPROOFING

is a time delayed defect that can be avoided.

"Aluminium - PVC - brass - copper"

When the water stop is installed before the waterproofing membrane,

THE WATERPROOFING is only layered TO THE ADJOINING ANGLE.

The overlaid junctions pose the risk of inadequately JOINTED WATERPROOFING,

due to incompatible, oxidising materials being used.

A far superior detailed method for waterproofing in a shower area of a bathroom is to

set the angle on top of the cured membrane.

the angle is cut as usual with a recessed wall edge,

then fitted/shaped to the membrane!

a further coved bead of construction grade sealant and bedded fibreglass and

polyester membrane is used to

seal in the angle.

the result is a Water stop that is suspended from the underlying membrane,,

instead of a time delayed junction defect that will cause water ingress far sooner.

MEMBRANE ON A BALCONY

IS RETURNED AT THE TOP OF THE STEP ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR FRAME SO THE UPTURN CAN BE SEALED TO THE FRAME ONCE THE DOOR FRAME IS INSTALLED.

THE CAULK AND BED METHOD WITH THE FIRST LAYER OF FIBREGLASS GIVES FLEX ACROSS SHEET JOINS AND SETS the WATER STOP TERMINATION WELL ABOVE THE TILE FINNISH.

the MEMBRANE IS BONDED INTO THE WASTE OUTLET AND and also RETURNED INTO the PRE CUT RECESSED NOTCH IN THE WALL of the balcony TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE TERMINATION OF THE WATERPROOFING.

a layer of the DRY FIBRES OF THE FIBREGLASS ARE PRESSED INTO THE FC JOINT SEALANT, SURROUNDING THE WASTE OUTLET, IDEALLY BONDING subsequent layers of THE WATERPROOFING IN PLACE.
