If the building is well waterproofed in its especially vulnerable nodes, then you will be able to ensure high performance characteristics for the construction of any purpose. A high-quality insulator can increase the level of hydrophobicity of the surface. With the help of good material, you can cope with mold and fungus, improving the indoor microclimate. Among other things, with the help of such measures it is possible to increase the frost resistance of the material, eliminating the destruction of the structure of the supporting structures. However, before starting work, it is important to choose the right material, which can be glued, coated or membrane. One of the most famous is the roll waterproofing TechnoNIKOL, which is mounted on the protected surface with an adhesive layer or a deposition method. Using this technology, you can create an internal and external barrier with a different degree of vapor permeability.
"Technonikol" - roll waterproofing, reviews of which are only the most positive, is created on the basis of thermoplastic polymers and applied to the surface with mandatory heating. Such material will not be afraid of reduced hydrophobicity in the joints. Polymeric coatings have no joints, and the edges of the rolls can be strengthened by diffusion welding, turning the scattered sheets into one single piece. The company "Technonikol" in the production of rolled materials uses not only polymeric materials, but also synthetic rubber. Sheets are glued together with a compound or ordinary solvent. Resistance to mechanical damage is much higher. But the installation speed of rubberized materials is reduced if we compare them with polymer coatings. Below will be presented the most common roll materials from the manufacturer "Technonikol", as well as their characteristics, which will help to understand which variety to give preference.
