How To Waterproof Your Floors

Waterproofing for your floors helps protect them from the effects of natural elements and limits the impact on the aesthetics inside the house. Let’s find safe and effective waterproofing methods for floors with JD&C.

Why do we need to waterproof your floors?

Your outdoor balcony and terrace floors also take a beating from the sun and other elements. Moreover, during the construction, poor-quality tile grout, waterproofing materials, and adhesive lead to water absorption. 

Waterproofing for floors is essential to maintain the aesthetics and prolong life of the floors. When undertaking a waterproofing or periodic inspection, users are more likely to detect damage and provide appropriate solutions that reduce costs and time.

How to waterproof your floors

There are many waterproofing methods for floors. It is important to note that for optimal waterproofing, highly trained technicians should perform these procedures using specialized waterproofing products, such as: 

Silicate or Bitume paint

It is considered a simple and highly effective method; many customers favor waterproof paint because of its reasonable price, easy construction, versatility, and high performance. However, when using it, we need to follow these rules:

• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing 
• Painting in cool weather, avoiding rain, wind, hot sun, or high temperature
• Apply at least two layers of waterproofing or more than three layers
