The problem
Most of us have had some experience of the damage that can be caused when tiled bathrooms and wet areas are not sealed properly against intrusive water and moisture. Unsightly damp patches constantly re-appear on the ceiling in the room below your bathroom, not to mention the unseen damage that leaks can cause to timber frames, building joists and plasterboards etc.
Why is waterproof matting the solution
Waterproofing and sealing against water and moisture is critical in order to protect any construction or building against intruding water and related damages. Damages from such leaks can create high and escalating repair costs.
Contrary to popular belief, thin set unglazed tiled areas are permeable, and moisture or vapour will migrate through these areas and can be absorbed into the substrates behind. While water resistant grouts offer some protection, these areas still remain permeable and over time increasing levels of moisture will penetrate these joints. Other influences, which will have an effect on the integrity of your sealing joints, will be the normal subsidence, which occurs in buildings.
The drying and cracking of mastics or silicones used to seal joints and the expansion and contraction of wooden or concrete floors, may cause the tiles to de-laminate or move from their original position. So regardless of whether you have used traditional waterproof tile adhesives or sealants, you will not necessarily have a watertight seal around your bath or shower tray.
Waterproof matting is your one stop solution to permanent waterproofing & has the following benefits:
• Quick and easy to apply.
• Wet room completely sealed from water & moisture penetration to substrates below.
• Floor matting provides a separation layer between the floor & tiles, acting as a de-coupling fleece layer.
• No waiting or drying time, able to install tiles immediately once the matting is applied.
• Uniform thickness of 0.85mm, with no weak points.
• 10 year guarantee for a 100% waterproof seal.
