Your Damp is our Business                                                                                                                                                      Solving Damp Floor Problems.                                                              Rising Damp through tiled floors is fairly common. The damp-proof membranes used during construction of concrete floors are often thin, and can easily become torn before they are laid, rendering them ineffective.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Our solution is to use a liquid membrane floor coating that can be applied directly to damp floors. This method has the advantage of being extremely easy to apply and only fractionally raising the floor-level. However, it is extremely important to ensure that the floor to be treated is free from contamination. New tiles can then be laid directly on top.                                                                                                                  Leaking Flat Roofs and Patios:                                                        Sika Liquid Membrane is a flexible waterproofing system for the repair and sealing of roofs and patios. The product is supplied as a red or grey liquid with a consistency similar to that of a very thick emulsion paint. Once applied, the product cures to form a thick membrane that is flexible, elastic, and resistant to abrasion and UV light. Sika Liquid Membrane is water-based and safe to apply onto damp substrates.                                                                                                                     Preparation:                                                                                                    All contact surfaces will be cleaned to a smooth finish. Any masonry will be flush pointed and defects in existing surfaces made good before the membrane is applied.                                                                                                       Coating and Coverage:                                                                                    A minimum dry film thickness of 2mm will be applied to provide a vapour barrier. This will be applied in two coats. Before applying the second coat it is necessary to allow the first coat to become touch dry, typically one hour. The second coat will be applied within 24 hours of applying the first coat. The Sika Liquid Membrane can be used as a waterproof primer for a screed or tiles.                                                                                                                            On completion a 10 year written guarantee is issued.
