The SikaProof system is an advanced waterproofing system used to protect foundations and underground spaces from moisture and leaks. It was developed by Sika, a leading provider of chemical solutions for the construction industry. The system consists of specially designed polyurethane membranes that are applied to the surfaces of foundations and basement walls. These membranes provide a watertight barrier that prevents moisture penetration, thus protecting the structure from moisture and related damage.
2. Next, a surface preparation material (primer) is applied to enhance the adhesion of the SikaProof system to the foundation surfaces.
3. The SikaProof membranes are applied to the foundation surface according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
4. The membranes are secured to the surface with special fastening elements and sealed at the contact points between them, as well as around penetrations in the foundation surface, to prevent water leakage.
5. The waterproofing system is inspected for any imperfections or leaks and any final treatments or problem corrections are carried out.
Advantages of waterproofing with the Sikaproof system:
The SikaProof system provides high reliability in the waterproofing of foundations and underground spaces. Its application ensures an effective barrier against moisture and water ingress.
The installation of the SikaProof system is relatively simple and quick, resulting in time and labor savings.
The SikaProof system is resistant to mechanical and chemical effects, offering long-term protection to foundations and underground spaces.
The use of the SikaProof system is generally economically beneficial in the long term, as it offers an effective solution with low maintenance costs.
The SikaProof system can be adapted to various surfaces and shapes, making it suitable for a wide range of construction applications.
