Cold Applied Waterproofing Applications
Cold applied waterproofing applications for foundations are methods used to prevent water penetration into the foundation of a building without the need for heat during installation. Here are some common types:
Liquid Applied Membranes: These are fluid waterproofing materials that can be applied directly onto the foundation substrate using a brush, roller, or spray equipment. They typically consist of polymer-modified asphalt, acrylic, or polyurethane compounds. Once applied, these membranes cure to form a seamless, flexible barrier that prevents water ingress.
Bituminous Coatings: Bitumen-based coatings are often used for foundation waterproofing. These coatings are made from asphalt or coal tar pitch and can be applied cold using a trowel, brush, or spray. Bituminous coatings adhere well to concrete surfaces and provide excellent waterproofing protection.
Cold-Applied Self-Adhesive Membranes: These membranes come with an adhesive backing that allows for easy installation without the need for additional adhesives or heat. They are typically made of rubberized asphalt or polymer-modified bitumen and can be applied directly onto the foundation substrate.
Sheet Membranes: These are preformed waterproofing membranes made of materials such as PVC, EPDM, or HDPE (high-density polyethylene). Cold applied sheet membranes are typically self-adhesive or can be adhered using a cold-applied adhesive. They are often used in below-grade applications to provide a durable waterproofing barrier.
Cold Liquid Waterproofing Systems: These systems consist of liquid waterproofing compounds that can be applied cold using a roller or brush. They are often based on polymers such as acrylics, polyurethanes, or silanes/siloxanes. Cold liquid waterproofing systems offer versatility and ease of application, making them suitable for various foundation types.
When selecting a cold applied waterproofing system for foundations, it’s essential to consider factors such as substrate compatibility, durability, ease of application, and the specific waterproofing requirements of the project. Proper surface preparation and application techniques are crucial to ensure the effectiveness and longevity of the waterproofing system.
