Terrace structure with waterproofing under tiling
WD-04 · WATERPROOFING PER BUILDING PART

PolyShield Waterproofing

Waterproofing under tiling for business projects

The tile is the finishing touch; the membrane underneath forms the watertight security.

Technical context

First recognize the building part and the load.

A sustainable tile structure starts with a slope, stable details and continuous waterproofing. PolyShield coordinates membrane, adhesive layer, joints and connections as one structure.

Problem · cause · solution

From visible defect to substantiated system route.

01 / VISIBLE

Common problems

  • Moisture under tiling
  • Loose tiles
  • Leaking joints and bilges
  • Frost damage outside
  • Insufficient connection at doors and drains
02 / INVESTIGATIONS

Possible causes

  • Tiles are considered a primary flood barrier
  • Movement not continued
  • Insufficient slope
  • Incompatible adhesive or membrane layers
  • Details without curb or reinforcement
03 / RESOLVED

Complete system choice

Substrate, primer, details, membrane, protection and evidence are recorded as one project-specific structure.

Business added value

What the right waterproofing protects or saves.

01

Hidden security

The flood defense remains protected against direct traffic and weather loads.

02

Complex shapes

Kimmers, drains and connections are incorporated seamlessly.

03

Complete coordination

Waterproofing and tile construction are not treated as separate disciplines.

System selection

Primarily promising, then technically confirmed.

The maps show a system direction. The final variant results from inspection, test adhesion and current technical documentation.

SUITABLE SUBSTRATES
  • Concrete
  • Cement screed
  • Mineral slope layer
TECHNICAL CHECK FIRST
  • Sufficient construction height available
  • Respect movement joints in the entire structure
  • Tile adhesive and membrane demonstrably compatible
  • Check membrane before covering
NOT AS A STANDARD ROUTE
  • Enclose wet or insufficiently load-bearing surfaces
  • Unknown layers without compatibility check
  • Only cover structural defects with coating
  • Performance claims without appropriate system documentation

From recording to delivery

Four steps that make the system controllable.

  1. 01

    Detailed plan

    Slopes, curbs, joints and drains are determined in advance.

  2. 02

    Substrate

    Cracks and weak areas are repaired and primed.

  3. 03

    Membrane control

    The waterproofing is applied and inspected before covering.

  4. 04

    Tile construction

    Adhesive layer, tiles and joints correspond to the approved route.

Frequently asked questions

For a targeted first project decision.

Can waterproofing be done over existing tiles?

Only after a project-specific assessment. Removal is often necessary to reliably assess the substrate, slope and damage.
