When it comes to waterproofing, many people think that only breaking down walls, planing bricks, painting and laying membranes can be called true waterproofing. In fact, this concept is not that complicated. As long as it can prevent water from leaking, it can be called an effective waterproofing method, such as the waterproof tape we are going to talk about today.
Waterproofing tape adheres tightly to the surface to which it is applied, helping to waterproof the building. It creates a complete waterproofing system by being applied to areas such as joints and where water and air can enter the building, such as doors and windows. Waterproof tape is made of asphalt or butyl rubber, applied cold, coated with aluminum foil or colored minerals on one side and adhesive on the other. The protective cover of the waterproof tape is removed and adheres to the applied surface and provides instant protection.
What is waterproof tape used for?
Waterproofing is very important in making an already built building ready for habitation. Without waterproofing, water can enter the structure of the building due to rain or any other reason. As a result, mold, rot, and corrosion can occur. This leads to a decrease in the durability of the building. Waterproof tape is one of the most commonly used supporting waterproof materials to enhance the structural strength of buildings.
Waterproofing tapes can be produced based on asphalt or butyl rubber. These materials are water-resistant due to the chemicals in their structure. They adhere tightly to the surfaces to which they are applied, preventing water from entering the building from these surfaces. As a result, the building is protected from water leaks and possible performance losses are prevented.
The main purpose of waterproofing tape is to protect buildings from water damage by creating a barrier between the building and the water. Waterproof tape is used to solve these flow problems where moisture and airflow exist in building envelopes such as doors, windows, nail holes, etc. Waterproofing tape can also be used on roofing systems to prevent leaks caused by rainfall. In addition, waterproof tape can be used in bathrooms, kitchens, terraces, balconies and toilets where waterproofing is important. In addition, waterproofing insulation can be provided using waterproofing tape, which provides practical use in moving joints, pipe transitions, pool crack repairs, and wherever such waterproofing is important.
