Swimming Pools

Swimming pools can either be on top of a building, or located somewhere within or around it. As such, managing the comprehensive waterproofing required to prevent water damage is of paramount importance.

In order to provide long term functionality for a swimming pool, it is important to plan, build and waterproof carefully. Flexible waterproofing K12 Flex Waterproofing Slurry offers the optimum solution for waterproofing under coverings in public and privately used swimming pools.GOMIX CG2 Tile Grout’s high mechanical and chemical resistance helps to eliminate washout of the tile grout in and around the swimming pool. Its cementitious formulation delivers excellent workability properties.

Balconies

The difficult task of laying ceramic and natural stone coverings on balconies and terraces requires a special knowledge as well as corresponding tile adhesives and grouting mortars in order to guarantee cavity-free laying and thus durability. Only the cavity-free laying together with K12 Flex Waterproofing system can prevent alkali efflorescence.

It is not surprising that on ceramic surfaces such as on terraces which are exposed to permanent changing weather conditions alkali efflorescence can occur or in the worst case the tiles can start to chip. The reason for this is water accumulation in cavities under the tiles. The flexible waterproofing K12 Flex Waterproofing that is applied directly under the ceramic covering, in combination with a void-free tile laying withC2TE Super Tile Adhesive, guarantees a long-term solution. C2TE Super Tile Adhesive can deliver a significant reduction in tile laying time. Thanks to its pourable properties, the buttering/floating method is not necessary.

Bathrooms

In new installations and refurbishments, domestic and industrial applications, there is often a need to apply a waterproof coating to walls and floors – a process known as tanking. This is to protect the backgrounds themselves from the effects of water and guard against the penetration into the substrate and fabric of the building – the effects of which can be extremely damaging.

The K11 Waterproofing Slurry tanking system protects moisture sensitive substrates and provides a waterproof solution and the perfect background for fixing ceramic tiles and mosaics.

Easily applied by brush, roller, or trowel, K11 Waterproofing Slurry is a membrane-forming liquid used prior to fixing tiles. Applied, it’s ready for tiling when completely dry.

The system includes sealing tape for wall and floor junctions liable to excessive movement and gaskets for use where pipes and drains penetrate the coating. K11 Waterproofing Slurry provides protection when even cracks of up to 1mm occur in the background after application.

By using K11 Waterproofing Slurry, a fully tanked room, such as a wet room, can be created preventing damage to wall/floor substrates and leakages into rooms below. K11 Waterproofing Slurry is also the ideal waterproofing solution for repair and renovation work.

With its direct application, K11 Waterproofing Slurry is the answer to protect the ceramic tiling substrate in showers and bathrooms. The flexible, waterproof coating is applied directly onto substrates before tiling and because it is applied as an undiluted liquid by brush, roller or trowel it is very easy to use.
