FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • 1-What is Polymer Bitumen waterproofing membrane?
    Primer eliminates the anti-adhesion effects of substances such as dust or soil on the surface and enables us to obtain a clean surface. It also increases the adhesion between bituminous waterproofing membranes and the concrete surface. For these reasons, application should not be made without a primer on concrete surfaces. A primer is not needed for applications on surfaces other than concrete surfaces (wood, etc.).
  • 2-Why do you recommend waterproofing?
    Water penetrating into our buildings causes the iron in the load-bearing parts of our structure to rust and reduce its carrying capacity. Water causes the concrete to rot and cracking. In addition to ensuring the safety of the building, waterproofing application provides healthy and comfortable environments by preventing the formation of bacteria and mold and water dripping from our roofs or ceilings.
  • 3-What is the purpose of the carrier reinforcement in bituminous waterproofing membranes?
    The cost of waterproofing varies depending on the shape of the building where it will be applied, the method of application and many other factors. Therefore, it will be difficult to give clear figures regarding the cost. However, to give an idea, the cost of waterproofing in newly constructed buildings is at least % of the building cost. 1 can be considered as 3% at most. However, the benefits it will provide will far exceed this cost. One thing to consider is that waterproofing to be done later rather than during construction will cost more due to additional costs (excavation, drainage, excess labor, etc.).
  • 4-Can bituminous waterproofing membranes be applied without using a primer?
    Primer eliminates the anti-adhesion effects of substances such as dust or soil on the surface and enables us to obtain a clean surface. It also increases the adhesion between bituminous waterproofing membranes and the concrete surface. For these reasons, application should not be made without a primer on concrete surfaces. A primer is not needed for applications on surfaces other than concrete surfaces (wood, etc.).
  • 5- How long is the lifespan of bituminous waterproofing membranes?
    Primer eliminates the anti-adhesion effects of substances such as dust or soil on the surface and enables us to obtain a clean surface. It also increases the adhesion between bituminous waterproofing membranes and the concrete surface. For these reasons, application should not be made without a primer on concrete surfaces. A primer is not needed for applications on surfaces other than concrete surfaces (wood, etc.).
  • 6- Where can I use bitumen waterproofing membranes?
    Water penetrating into our buildings causes the iron in the load-bearing parts of our structure to rust and reduce its carrying capacity. Water causes the concrete to rot and cracking. In addition to ensuring the safety of the building, waterproofing application provides healthy and comfortable environments by preventing the formation of bacteria and mold and water dripping from our roofs or ceilings.
  • 7- Can we obtain a definitive solution for waterproofing by using bituminous waterproofing membranes? "
    Water penetrating into our buildings causes the iron in the load-bearing parts of our structure to rust and reduce its carrying capacity. Water causes the concrete to rot and cracking. In addition to ensuring the safety of the building, waterproofing application provides healthy and comfortable environments by preventing the formation of bacteria and mold and water dripping from our roofs or ceilings.
  • 8- Are bituminous waterproofing membranes alone sufficient for waterproofing?
    The cost of waterproofing varies depending on the shape of the building where it will be applied, the method of application and many other factors. Therefore, it will be difficult to give clear figures regarding the cost. However, to give an idea, the cost of waterproofing in newly constructed buildings is at least % of the building cost. 1 can be considered as 3% at most. However, the benefits it will provide will far exceed this cost. One thing to consider is that waterproofing to be done later rather than during construction will cost more due to additional costs (excavation, drainage, excess labor, etc.).
  • 9- Can I provide waterproofing by applying ceramic or mosaic?
    Water penetrating into our buildings causes the iron in the load-bearing parts of our structure to rust and reduce its carrying capacity. Water causes the concrete to rot and cracking. In addition to ensuring the safety of the building, waterproofing application provides healthy and comfortable environments by preventing the formation of bacteria and mold and water dripping from our roofs or ceilings.
  • 10-Is waterproofing expensive? How much does it cost?
    The cost of waterproofing varies depending on the shape of the building where it will be applied, the method of application and many other factors. Therefore, it will be difficult to give clear figures regarding the cost. However, to give an idea, the cost of waterproofing in newly constructed buildings is at least % of the building cost. 1 can be considered as 3% at most.
