When carrying out repair and construction work, you should definitely take care of waterproofing. This technique prevents the penetration of moisture into the room, thereby protecting the walls and foundation. Properly selected waterproofing material can significantly increase the life of the entire building. In this article, we will find out all the features and technical characteristics of a uniflex, which, incidentally, has recently appeared on the domestic market, and find out whether it is worth buying it.
Characteristic and composition
Uniflex roofing material is a universal building tool that perfectly protects the room from moisture both when laying the foundation, and when laying the roof. The composition of the uniflex includes fiberglass or polyester, on which a thin plastic film is applied at the end of production. Thanks to this composition, it can be installed not only on horizontal, but also on vertical surfaces. In addition, the waterproofing "Uniflex" is suitable for absolutely any room of any number of storeys and any age.
Benefits
The main feature of this material is its high resistance to mechanical damage. The technical characteristics of the uniflex allow it to be operated absolutely in all weather conditions at any temperature. For him, it does not matter what weather conditions he will have to endure - 40-degree heat or 30-degree frost. In any case, the uniflex will retain its properties and perfectly protect the house from moisture. In addition, its service life is several tens of years. These and many other technical characteristics of the uniflex allow its use in many countries of the world.
Varieties of material
Few people know, but the uniflex is still subdivided into several classifications. Among them are the following:
- Uniflex marked “K”. This waterproofing material can be used exclusively for outdoor use. The composition of such a uniflex includes coarse-grained sprinkling, foil (on the front side) and, of course, a polyethylene film.
- Material brand "P". Unlike the previous version, this uniflex can be used as an internal waterproofing. As for the composition, it practically does not differ from the version of the brand “K”. The only differences are in fine-grained sprinkling and the absence of foil.
Where could I buy?
Despite the fact that this method of waterproofing is a "newcomer" to the Russian market, you can buy it in almost any hardware store for an affordable price.
Conclusion
As you can see, the technical characteristics of the uniflex make you pay attention to it, and many people have already felt the full functionality of this material. It is worth saying that, unlike the more popular roofing material, uniflex practically has no shortcomings, which is repeatedly confirmed by reviews. It is not for nothing that modern construction companies recommend using just such a waterproofing, calling it the "golden discovery of the century."
