Wet Area Waterproofing Bathroom, Kitchens and Balconies
Bathrooms are the major wet area in the house and it is important that the bathroom is correctly waterproofed in order to reduce the risk of structural damage occurring as a result of dampness, water leaks, or condensation.
Once the plasterboard’s finished and the internal wall and ceiling linings are all sorted, it’s time for the bathroom, laundry, kitchen and powder room areas to be waterproofed. Basements also need to be very carefully waterproofed – but that’s only relevant if you’re building a basement and something that’s taken care of when the basement is constructed.
Proper waterproofing in wet areas is absolutely vital – water leaking into floor and wall spaces can very easily rot structural timbers and do some heartbreaking damage to a house. The worst bit about this kind of damage is that, you won’t normally realize its happening until the worst of the damage has already been done.
Terrace waterproofing and colored balcony waterproofing is very important for open-air exposed areas. Balconies and terraces, walkways, galleries, penthouses, loggias, the roofs of underground car parks used as plazas, decorative balconies and outdoor seating areas are constantly exposed to the elements.

Waterproofing is generally needed anywhere where there’s a water outlet. This includes:
Shower stalls
Bath areas
Bathrooms in general (depending on other materials used)
Laundries
Wet areas in kitchens
Around all penetrations in areas to be waterproofed (e.g. taps, drains)
rring as a result of dampness, water leaks, or condensation.
