Waterproofing Coat: For Interior & Exterior Waterproofing

Rain and weather can have an impact on the exteriors of your home, such as roofs, terraces, and walls. Similarly, the interior areas of your home, such as bathrooms and kitchens, come into a lot of contact with water. There is a high risk of dampness seeping into the structure from such areas. For double protection in these high-risk areas of the home, use Flex or HiFlex.

HiFlex or Flex are a polymer-based waterproofing product that forms a long-lasting and impervious coating, preventing dampness from entering the structure. Flex and HiFlex coatings are flexible, elongating up to 50% and 100%, respectively, reducing the possibility of cracks and increasing their durability. They can also withstand high water pressure, up to 7 bars, which aids in their resistance to environmental conditions and high water contact within your home

Application of Flex/HiFlex

Flex and HiFlex can be used in all exterior applications with a positive side and on the interior walls and floors of wet areas in your homes. These places can be:

Terraces

Application

Apply 2 coats of HiFlex or Flex. Apply the 1st coat using a stiﬀ nylon brush. And, apply the 2nd coat after a minimum of 8 hours in a perpendicular direction to the 1st coat.

Screed Usage

After the waterproof coat dries, sprinkle some sand over it and apply screed as ﬁnal step. Perform a water pond test for 4-5 days and after 72 hours of screed coat.

Dampness causes corrosion of steel and formation of cracks in RCC, which reduce the strength of the structure. This makes the structure of the home hollow and weak from inside, eventually affecting its durability. Unfortunately, by the time dampness is visible, the damage is already done!

Dampness is like an incurable disease which makes your home hollow and weak from inside. Once dampness enters, it is impossible to get rid of it.
