Unlock the Secret to Bathroom Waterproofing
You may think waterproofing your bathroom is as simple as turning on the shower and letting the water do its job. Nuh-uh, folks! Just like it takes a bit more than just a spritz of cologne to make you irresistible, it also takes more than just basic tiling to make your bathroom withstand the test of time and humidity. The good news is, you don't have to go it alone. In the same way you’d rely on a trusted barber to get that dapper look, Waterproofing360 is your go-to guru for all your bathroom waterproofing needs. As experts serving NY and NJ, we’re here to break down the craft for you.
Step 1: Prep the Bathroom
Kick starting your bathroom waterproofing journey starts with stripping down the space before anything else. Since we're not talking about a burlesque show here, by stripping down, I mean removing fixtures, floor drains, and the former waterproofing scam – if there are any! The goal is to ensure we have a blank canvas to work on. But don't worry, no painting skills are required, we've got our Picasso right here at Waterproofing360!
Step 2: Apply the Primer
Think about when you're painting your nails or finishing some woodwork, the primer is essential to ensure what comes next sticks properly. It’s just like building a solid relationship, a good primer forms a deep-rooted bond with your bathroom floor and wall. Heck, it might even stay loyal longer than your last ex. Once the primer is applied evenly with our specialized roller, we step aside and let it dry.
Step 3: Apply the Waterproofing Agent
Unlike a secret agent who’s all covert and sneaky, our waterproofing agent is definitely spotted! It's the game-changing, unsung hero of bathroom waterproofing. Applied meticulously to the floor, corners, edges, and wall junctions, this clear or light-coloured goo acts like the ultimate guardian shield. Voila, now your bathroom has protection tighter than a secret service detail!
Step 4: Lay the Waterproofing Membrane
Ever played that game where you try to wrap yourself in cling film? Yeah, we'd advise against it considering the danger and lack of oxygen. However, we do something similar to your bathroom floor and walls, but with a breathable waterproofing membrane instead. This step is akin to knight's armor protecting a kingdom, it’s a critical line of defense in making sure your bathroom stays dry and high.
Step 5: Place the Drainage Flange
Last but not least is all about flanges. And no, this doesn't involve any type of flamboyant dance, although that would be a sight to see! The drainage flange is like that perfect little hole in the doughnut, that bit which gathers and sends all the excess water down the drain.
