Our installation process
Effective waterproofing starts with careful preparation and proven systems. Here is what we do, in order, to create a durable, watertight foundation ready for tiling.
01
We carefully inspect and prepare the substrate, ensuring surfaces are clean, stable and ready for waterproofing. Critical details such as bond breakers, puddle flanges and junction treatments are also installed where required.
02
We use quality LATICRETE systems to provide reliable moisture protection. Latapoxy Moisture Shield is applied where required, followed by Hydro Ban across wet areas to create a durable, watertight barrier.
03
Once the membrane has cured, we complete a detailed inspection to ensure coverage and system requirements are met. Any areas requiring attention are addressed before the surface is approved and ready for tiling.
