The Importance of Tanking Kits

A tanking kit creates a watertight barrier that prevents water ingress, essential for spaces like shower trays, wet rooms, basements, and balconies. Proper tanking is critical in preventing water damage to structural elements and maintaining a healthy, dry environment. These room kits come in various types and configurations, each designed for specific applications. From shower trays to basements, our tanking kits are engineered to offer durable, lasting protection.

Choosing the Right Tanking Kit for Your Project

Selecting the right tanking kit is crucial for optimal water protection. When assessing which kit suits your needs, consider the following factors:

1. Project Size: Measure the area you’re tanking. A single kit like the MegaTank One-Coat may be sufficient for smaller areas. For larger spaces, such as expansive wet rooms or larger shower areas, multiple kits or a heavy-duty tanking product may be required.
2. Surface Compatibility: Ensure the tanking kit is compatible with the surface you're working with. The MegaTank Kit works on diverse substrates, including concrete, plaster, wood, and tile, making it a flexible solution.
3. Application Method: The ease of application varies by kit. One-coat tanking kits like the MegaTank are user-friendly and highly efficient, making them ideal for DIY users as well as professionals.
4. Durability and Effectiveness: The best tanking kits not only waterproof the surface but also provide long-term protection against moisture. Look for kits with proven durability to ensure your waterproofing solution lasts.
    

Key Applications for Tanking Kits

Tanking kits are versatile and can be applied in various areas that are prone to moisture. Here’s a look at some of the most common applications:

1. Shower Areas

• Tanking is vital for creating a waterproof barrier in shower areas. Installing a tanking kit beneath shower tiles ensures no water seeps through, preserving the integrity of your shower walls and floors. Our kits can be applied to both floors and walls, offering full coverage.

   

2. WetRoomStop

• Wet rooms require complete waterproofing, as they are exposed to constant water. A high-quality tanking kit provides essential water protection to prevent water from permeating walls and floors, keeping the wet room dry and mould-free.

   

3. Basements and Cellars

• Tanking kits are critical in basements, where they protect against groundwater ingress. Basements are naturally prone to moisture buildup, and applying a tanking kit ensures they remain dry, making the space usable and structurally sound.

   

4. Balconies and Terraces

• Outdoor areas like balconies and terraces are exposed to the elements and need reliable tanking to prevent water damage. A tanking kit applied under outdoor tiling ensures these areas stay watertight, protecting both the structure and any adjacent indoor spaces.

   

Different Types of Tanking Kits and Their Features

Our tanking kits are designed to suit a variety of needs, from basic shower tanking to heavy-duty protection for larger wet areas. Here are a few popular types:

1. Liquid Waterproofing Tanking Kits

• These kits include liquid membranes that are easy to apply and provide excellent coverage. They are a popular choice for shower and wet rooms, as they form a continuous barrier that prevents water from penetrating through cracks or seams.

   

2. Sheet Membrane Tanking Kits

• Sheet membrane tanking kits include pre-cut sheets or rolls that can be placed over surfaces in wet areas. These kits offer robust waterproofing and are especially suitable for wet rooms and shower where full coverage is required.

   

3. One-Coat Tanking Kits

• The one-coat tanking kit, such as the MegaTank Kit, simplifies the application process by requiring only a single coat. This type of kit is ideal for both DIY projects and professional jobs where time and efficiency are priorities.

   

Tips for Using a Tanking Kit

To get the best results from your tanking kit, follow these tips:

1. Prepare the Surface: Start with a clean, dry surface free of debris, dust, and oils. Proper preparation ensures the tanking solution adheres effectively.
2. Apply Evenly: Apply the tanking kit evenly to ensure a continuous waterproof layer. Take care around edges, corners, and seams for complete coverage.
3. Use Primer if Necessary: Some kits include or require a primer. Applying the primer ensures better adhesion and improves the tanking performance.
4. Follow Drying Times: Allow the tanking layer to dry completely before applying tiles or other finishes. This step is crucial for achieving a durable, watertight seal.
