What is water insulation?
Water insulation can be defined as the methods, which are used to protect the structures from water and it´s negative effects on the structure. This kind of insulation is done to keep water outside of the structure. Water insulation can be used to keep the water inside in structures like pools, water tanks and artificial ponds.
How are the structures exposed to the negative effects of water?
- Snow and rain,
- The soil humidity or ground water (from rains and utility water),
- Usage of water in bathrooms and toilets,
- The ground water which is under the foundation of the structure
What are the benefits of water insulation?
- Water insulation protects the structuresSu Yalıtımı yapıları korur
- Water insulation provides a long-term protection against corrosion
- Water insulation provides comfort
- Water insulation saves money
- Water insulation provides a health environment
When should water insulation be done?
Water insulation can be done after noticing the damages on the structure, but our reccomentadion is to do water insulation during the construction phase of your structures, which is more economical.
Where are the field of applications?
- Roof and terrace
- Foundations and pavements
- Walls and fassade
- Bathrooms and toilets
- Water tanks
- Pools
- etc.
What are the water insulation materials?
Generally the waterproof materials are water insulation materials. These materials can be summarized as follows.
Temel olarak su geçirimsizlik saglayan malzemelere su yalıtım malzemeleri denir. Su yalıtımında kullanılan malzemeler, kullanım alanlarına ve özelliklerine göre üç ayrı baslık altında toplanırlar.
