The bathroom is a room with a high humidity index. The vapour and humidity that arises in this room have a very intensive effect on the wall and floor structure. This results in the slow degradation of these surfaces through the appearance of mould and mildew and, in some cases, the weakening of the wall structure. This is why we should think about effective waterproofing first during the bathroom design phase. Today we will discuss one element of waterproofing, namely corners.
Corners have an important function in so-called wet areas - that is, where there is a bathtub and a shower. We have two versions of corners: external and internal, and they are made of airtight plastic, to which waterproofing compounds can easily be attached.
Basic features of the corners :
- Watertight - The corners are impervious to water, protecting the substrate from dampness.
- Easy to install - The corners are already profiled. Simply apply them to the corner on top of the freshly laid sealing compound and press down, and cover with a second layer of sealing compound when dry.
- Effectiveness - The corners are made of non-woven polyethylene, which does not lose its sealing properties despite the passage of time. Therefore, once installed, the corners are effective for a long time.
Corners should be used in the corners of the bathroom, as moisture is heavily concentrated in these areas and the application of waterproofing compound alone does not guarantee accurate and durable protection. The use of these elements together with waterproofing WB Duo Flex - which is a waterproofing that, when dry, forms materhe rubber-like material provides a guarantee of airtightness for many years.
