Specify waterproofing in new construction at an early stage

Many failure costs do not arise during application, but rather: in the case of unclear demarcation, surfaces that are too wet, late design changes or details that cannot be implemented. Early selection makes the solution controllable.
01

From product name to performance requirement

A useful specification describes what the system must be able to do, under what circumstances it is installed and what supporting documents are required. This allows a construction team to compare solutions fairly without committing to one brand at an early stage.

  • Water tax and usage tax
  • Substrate, residual moisture and tensile strength
  • Crack bridging and detailing
  • Walkability and available construction window
  • Inspection, registration and transfer
02

Interfaces determine the result

Slopes, drains, sills, facades, installations and protective layers often fall under different parties. The boundary between scopes must therefore be visible on the drawing and in the work plan.

A hold point before covering prevents a waterproof layer from disappearing uncontrollably under paving, insulation or a roof garden.

03

Speed without loss of quality

Fast-response 2K systems can shorten schedules, but only when preparation and release are aligned. The benefit lies in a complete process route: substrate, primer, membrane, control and follow-up construction.

  • Determine drying time and recoating period
  • Reserve a weather and recovery window
  • Create reference planes for repetitive work
  • Register batch, consumption and conditions
PROJECTCHECK

Five points to determine in advance.

  1. 01Construction component and water load determined
  2. 02Demarcation recorded on drawing
  3. 03Subsurface criteria made measurable
  4. 04Details reviewed before execution
  5. 05Inspection and transfer moments planned

Frequently asked questions

Short and technical answers.

When should a specialist join?

Preferably before final specifications are drawn up and at the latest before work preparation, so that detailing, substrate and planning can still be influenced.

Is one system suitable for all building parts?

No. A parking floor, stage deck, balcony and basement require different performance, details and protection measures.

TECHNISCH AUTEURSCHAP

PolyShield technisch redactieteam

Samengesteld vanuit uitvoeringspraktijk, systeemdocumentatie en projectmatige kwaliteitscontrole. De inhoud is merkneutraal en bedoeld voor professionele voorselectie.

BRONNENKADER

Bij een projectspecifieke keuze zijn actuele TDS, SDS, DoP, classificaties, ondergrondmetingen en toepasselijke systeemverklaringen altijd leidend. Claims voor een losse component gelden niet automatisch voor de volledige opbouw.
