Liquid Waterproof Membranes

• Uses: Ideal for both new construction and renovation projects. They are particularly well-suited for areas that require intricate detailing, such as corners, edges, and around plumbing fixtures.

   

Waterproof Sealing Kits

• Description: These kits typically include a combination of products like sealing tapes, liquid membranes, and primer. They provide a comprehensive solution for waterproofing shower areas.

• Uses: Best for situations where a complete, all-in-one solution is needed. Great for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who prefer a bundled product offering.

   

Practical Uses and Benefits

• Preventing Water Damage: The primary function of these membranes is to prevent water from seeping into walls and floors, thereby avoiding mold, mildew, and structural damage.

Selection Guide

When selecting a shower waterproofing membrane, consider the following:

• Area Size: Larger areas may benefit from liquid membranes for easier application.
• Complexity of the Shower Area: For intricate designs with many corners and edges, a liquid membrane or a sealing kit with flexible sealing tape might be more suitable.
