One of the essential details of a structure is insulation. Failure to perform proper insulation in wet areas can lead to many problems. When the basic insulation of wet areas is done, it becomes long-lasting and durable. Liquid membranes are used in the insulation of structures and are among the insulation materials.
What is a Liquid Membrane?
A liquid membrane is a material used for waterproofing. It is a high-quality and efficient wall and floor covering. Liquid membrane provides insulation against humidity, water, and moisture both in interior and exterior environments. It is an elastic material composed of bitumen and acrylic raw materials, as well as substances like resins, rubber, and fibers.
What are the Characteristics of a Liquid Membrane?
The characteristics of a liquid membrane are as follows:
- It provides waterproofing similar to paint application.
- It offers high durability even under adverse conditions on terraces and roofs.
- It is a UV resistant water coating material.
- It ensures high performance.
- To have comfortable and long-lasting living spaces, liquid membrane insulation is necessary.
- Quick-drying liquid membrane allows fast and efficient waterproofing.
- Failure to apply liquid membrane can result in problems like decay, mold, and humidity in buildings.
- Liquid membrane also provides energy efficiency and has a long lifespan.
- It is based on rubber, making it resistant to water, acids, alkalis, and dissolved salts.
- It serves as a protective layer for roof coverings.
- Liquid membranes can be easily applied not only on roofs and terraces but also on interior facades.
- It offers long-lasting usage in areas exposed directly to the sun.
- It is a non-flammable material and does not contain solvents.
- It can be painted over.
- It allows versatile usage.
- It can be applied to all surfaces and easily applied to concrete and brick areas.
- It has a flexible structure, preventing the formation of capillary cracks.
- It is environmentally friendly.
Types of Liquid Membranes
The types of liquid membranes are as follows:
- Bitumen rubber-based liquid membrane
- Transparent liquid insulation
- Polyurethane-based liquid membrane
- Polyurea-based liquid membrane
- Water-based acrylic-based liquid membrane
Areas of Application for Liquid Membranes
Due to its ergonomic nature, liquid membranes are widely preferred in various areas. Liquid membranes used in waterproofing of structures can be applied to both new and old buildings.
The areas of application for liquid membranes include:
- Building foundations
- Building roofs
- Exterior walls of buildings
- Interior walls of buildings
- Chimneys
- Balconies
- Pools
- Wet areas
- Ceramic and undercoating areas
- Water tanks
