The bathroom is the most wet place in the house, repair in which will not be saved for a long time, if not to use specially designed building materials with moisture protection properties, for example, tile. But it is clear that the finishing of ceramic tiles absolutely does not miss water, stupid, because the fluid seeps in the seams, joints and cracks that do not consider the naked eye.
To protect yourself from such unpleasant consequences of dampness as a mold, a felled air, leakage, a hydrober device is necessary. Before making waterproofing in the bathroom, examine the various methods of organization, materials used and the work technology with your own hands.
Types of waterproofing
The process of creating waterproofing in the bathroom consists in creating a hydrocker from a material that does not pass through water, which is applied between the base of the floor or walls and decorative coating. Protect all zones from the impact of moisture in which water is possible. First of all, we welcome the sections of the floor under and around the bathroom, washing machine, washbasin, walls adjacent to washing and sink tanks . Places where moisture penetration is most likely called "wet zones." To protect them, various types of waterproofing are used:
- Powered. This species is associated with the use of sheets or rolls of waterproofing material, based on synthetic tissue or cardboard, impregnated bitumen. Under the action of high temperature, the sheets are heated, giving the plasticity, they will be removed on the surface of the floor or walls. This option in the bathroom is uncomfortable to use, as the gas burner required during the pasting process is not designed to work in close, unbelievable rooms. With your own hands, it is difficult to clean the waterproofing;
Waterproof waterproofing
- Picky. To organize waterproofing the coating type, bitumen or polymer mastic is used. This material reliably seals water penetration paths. There are treatment in several layers with a mandatory drying between them. Bituminous mastic during processing highlights a sharp, unpleasant smell, and the polymer is safer and environmentally friendly. Modern mastic for waterproofing dries in 24 hours;
Painting waterproofing
- Caution. In the process of organizing waterproofing, a polymer mixture consisting of small quartz sand, cement and special polymers is applied to a protected surface, like plaster, with a spatula and a cell, facing the walls and gender. A multiple layers are processed with a mandatory dryer within 6-8 hours between them.
Foolish waterproofing
The waterproofing of the floor in the bathroom is considered to be made correctly if after completion of the work it turns out the so-called "hydrocorauto", fully covering the field of floor overlap and the exciting walls to a height of 20-30 cm.
Preparation of the surface to waterproofing
If you are going to perform waterproofing in the bathroom with your own hands, you must properly prepare the protected surfaces. To do this, follow the technological scheme that meets the construction standards:
- Layer on the layer remove all floor coverings to a concrete base, dismantle the finish from the walls;
- Clean the placement from the garbage, is large, and the dust is eliminated with a wet cleaning;
- Conduct the audit of the state of the floor, all marked cracks, recesses to close with a moisture-resistant cement solution. Make the floor level, how much is possible;
- After drying the solution, sanding the places where the alignment occurred. Then apply a special primer composition. Wait when it is completely absorbed.
Careful implementation of all items of the preparatory stage will increase the life of waterproofing, thereby retaining the fresh appearance of the premises over long years.
Preparation for waterproofing
Waterproof waterproofing
If the floorproofing of the floor in the bathroom will be produced using pasta with moisture-proof material, you will need waterproof, hydrokhotloxol or rubberoid, gas burner, a sharp knife and bitumen to miss the seams. With your own hands, you need to carry out the plan:
- Cutting the roll of waterproofing material on the wall size of the wall, the opposite door in the bathroom, give them straightening;
- The first strip is laid along the wall, which is located opposite the entrance door, the edge of the edge up by 2-30 cm. It is heated by a gas burner or a construction hairdryer to 50 degrees, in the process of which bitumers melts and sticks the sheet to the floor surface;
- The next strip is glued for the first, overhanging one to another 15-20 cm . Thus, it is covered with the entire area of the bathroom;
- Seams between sheets, joints with walls, the angles are missing by molten bitumen to secure, protect against moisture penetration;
- After the flooding of the waterproofing, the cement screed is poured into the floor and prepare for decorative coating finish.

Note! If you perform the waterproofing of the floor with your own hands, stick the sheets at least two layers, while having them in such a way that the joints between them do not coincide.
Foolish waterproofing
To apply stucco waterproofing, the plastering cell is required for alignment, a wide spatula or hairbrush. Polymer mixtures for coating are sold ready to use, packaged in plastic buckets. After opening, the viscous mixture is stirred with a wooden shelf and begin to deceive the surface of the walls and the floor, acting in the same way as when plastered. After applying the first layer, he is given time for drying. After 6-8 hours, you can start creating a second layer.
Applying coating waterproofing
Each layer of coating waterproofing of the bathroom should be at least 2 mm, and in the input places of communication to 4 mm, rubber housings are worn for additional protection on pipes. Waterproofing, obtained by coating, reliably protects overlaps from penetration of moisture and destruction, while the costs of materials are much lower than when using liquid compositions and sheets, and work is quite well done with their own hands.
The overhaul of the bathroom is not possible without the reconstruction of the waterproofing layer of the floor and walls, which, with intensive leakage, will protect not only the finish of your bathroom, but also the neighbors below.
