How to make bathroom leaks history

Seepages in the bathroom can be easily prevented by treating the joints between the walls and the floor with a waterproof layer. Once you’ve done this, you can continue with the bathroom design without any more worries.

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

• Bison Rubber Seal – waterproofing based on rubber and polymers 750 ml (2.5L)
• Bison Rubber Seal Tape – textile tape for reinforcement
• Wooden mixer
• Brush
• Scissors
• Brush

STEP 1: Determine how high you want to waterproof and mark on the wall.

Tip: Use the position of the shower head as a reference point.

STEP 2: Place Bison Rubber Seal Tape – reinforcing textile tape over the joint (joint), allowing to exceed the point you marked on the height. Make sure the bottom of the fabric strip is placed a few inches above the floor so it can be overlapped.

Tip: Cut the fabric tape using scissors.

STEP 3: Make sure the surface is dry and free of dust and grease.

Tip: Use a brush to remove dust and other debris.

STEP 4: Mix well Bison Rubber Seal until you get a uniform color.

Tip: Use a wooden stirrer.

STEP 5: Apply the first layer of Bison Rubber Seal to the joints and about 1o cm on either side, between the walls,  between the walls and the floor, around the details in the bathroom.

Tip: Use a 5 cm wide brush, spread evenly leaving a thick layer of approx. 1mm.

STEP 6: Place Bison Rubber Seal Tape – the textile tape cut in step 2, directly on top of the first layer, evenly covering the joints, on one side and on the other hand.

STEP 7: Press firmly on the fabric strip until it is soaked in the solution.

Important! The textile tape creates a bridge over cracks and cracks and helps to form the final layer of waterproofing.

STEP 8: Apply the second coat of Bison Rubber Seal over the fabric tape until you get a smooth finish.

Bison Rubber seal provides the best protection if applied with a minimum final layer thickness of 2 mm.

STEP 9: Repeat this process on all joints and joints in the bathroom.

Tip: Treat first the horizontal joints, then the vertical ones. Make sure the fabric tape overlaps.

STEP 10: Finish by covering all joints with a third coat of Bison Rubber Seal.

After making the joints, treat the rest of the walls and floor with a final coat of Bison Rubber Seal.
