Foundation waterproofing and insulation

Foundations are the foundation of any building - literally and figuratively. Solid foundations are crucial to ensure the structure's stability, durability and resistance to the elements. Properly designed and constructed, they provide a protective barrier against moisture, which is extremely important, especially in regions with variable weather conditions. Water Block offers innovative solutions to professionally insulate foundations and protect buildings from moisture.

Why is it important to ensure that foundations are properly insulated?

Good foundation insulation is essential to protect the building from the damaging effects of moisture. By using modern insulation technology, you can:

• minimise the risk of mould and mildew growth inside the building,
• provide long-term protection of the structure against erosion and damage,
• reduce heat loss and improve the energy efficiency of the building,
• reduce costs associated with foundation maintenance and repairs.

With professional foundation insulation, your building will gain in durability and safety and its market value will increase significantly. In Water Block's offer you will find comprehensive solutions tailored to different types of construction and needs.

What is foundation insulation?

Insulating foundations is a process that involves various stages, from the analysis of needs and ground conditions to the selection of mater insulation materials. The specialised formulations you will find in the Water Block range provide an effective barrier to moisture while allowing adequate air circulation. We certainly recommend for this type of activity WB Bitumen and WB Duo Flex. The insulation solutions we offer not only protect the foundations, but also reduce the risk of cracks forming in the building structure. Cracks can be dealt with excellently WB Dilatation.

In the process of insulating foundations, we pay particular attention to the durability of mater materials and their resistance to changing weather conditions. The mWater Block products are tested in a variety of conditions, which guarantees their high quality and effectiveness for many years.

What waterproofing technologies does Water Block offer?

Our offer includes a wide range of insulation technologies that can be tailored to specific needs and ground conditions. Water Block offers vertical, horizontal and waterproofing insulation to provide comprehensive damp protection for new or buildings with problems such as capillary rise, for which we recommend WB Injectocream. Whatever the type of foundation, our specialists will select the most suitable solution to make your structure durable and safe for many years to come.

Insulating foundations requires precise measures and access to the best mater materials. At Water Block, we focus on modern technology and eco-friendly production, making our offer the perfect combination of quality and environmental care.

Why does proper foundation insulation matter?

Foundations are an element that is exposed to moisture and varying weather conditions on a daily basis. It is estimated that well executed insulation can extend the life of a building by up to 30%. Well-protected foundations are not only a guarantee of durability, but also protect against costly repairs and renovations in the future.

It is therefore worth investing in robust insulation to avoid problems associated with corrosion and degradation of m1TP2Bodies.

Why choose the Water Block?

By choosing Water Block, you gain the assurance that your building is fully protected against moisture. Our products are the result of years of research and testing, so we offer solutions that work in all conditions. Foundations are the foundation of a building, and solid insulation is an investment in its durability and safety. Our range of products and services is tailored to meet a wide variety of needs, ensuring that every structure receives the best protection against damp.

In order to do this solidly, a few rules need to be followed.

What it looks like step-by-step foundation insulation? The most important of these is to clean the substrate and apply a levelling layer for joints between the blocks as well as gaps and cavities in the concrete. An even surface makes it possible to accurately apply the insulation without the danger of overlooking places where leakage can later occur. WB Flex Glue is best used for this. After the glue has dried, the first layer of WB Duo Flex is applied. When it sets, we paste WB Tape Pro into corners, installation passages and connections of the window frame with the wall. After application of WB TAPE PRO we can apply the second layer of insulation WB Duo Flex. Remember that the insulation of the foundation must be made of XPS type material, which thanks to its structure does not absorb moisture and thus maintains its thermal parameters.

Sequence of foundation insulation work:

• clean and smooth the wall structure with WB Flex Glue
• Apply first layer of WB Duo Flex
• paste WB Tape Pro
• Apply a second layer of WB Duo Flex

Materials needed:

• Waterproofing WB Duo Flex 10 kg or 20 kg
• WB Tape Pro
• WB Primer

Material consumption in the foundation insulation process:

• Waterproofing WB Duo Flex 20 kg - sufficient for 13 to 15 m2

Remember!
If you are not sure how much foundation material you need, you can always use our help. Write or call our technical department.

It is often the case that architects and contractors prefer to use thicker coatings for waterproofing. In this case, we recommend our product WB Bitumen KMB 2C
