Floor Waterproofing

Where water lingers longest: the floor

Bathroom, balcony, basement and terrace floors are the surfaces where water stands the longest. Water that gets through the floor seeps down to the level below and damages the screed and the slab; by the time it is noticed, the floor covering often has to be taken up.

With Izowhite, floor waterproofing is chosen to suit the need: elastic Water Cutter applied directly on concrete and screed, and fully elastic Two-Component and Powercon under tiles. For repairing concrete floors open to traffic, Groud Mortar, which gains strength rapidly, is used.
