120MM X 10M WET ROOM SYSTEM WATERPROOF TANKING TAPE EVERBUILD AQUASEAL JOINT 12CM

Product Information

Can be tiled straight onto areas that are waterproof i.e. wet room boards & surfaces that have been treated with Aquaseal Tanking Membrane, the unique butyl fleece provides cross directional stability to accommodate board movements occurring in different directions at the same time, essential to provide a permanent water tight seal. However, walls below ground are often subject to hydrostatic water pressure and any flaw in the application of cementitious tanking can have serious consequences. Type C cavity drainage systems should be a consideration. Tanking slurry is supplied as a powder that you will need to mix yourself. It is essential that you apply tanking slurry with the proper direction, following manufacturer’s instructions.

Below ground, we would recommend you opt for cementitious tanking as outlined earlier in this article or a cavity drainage system featuring wall and floor membranes, drainage channels and sump pumps. This Type C drained protection effectively channels any water ingress down the walls to a drainage channel and to a sump chamber where it can then be pumped safely away.

Wall tanking or “tanking” is a method of preventing water ingress by creating a completely impermeable waterproof barrier on an internal wall. When we refer to tanking walls, it's usually in reference to below ground structures like basements or as a precautionary measure on damp walls above ground. The term “tanking” comes from the idea that by completely sealing a room, a waterproof tank-like barrier is created. Tanking is the most important part of any wet room installation and it’s crucial that high-quality waterproofing products and systems are used to ensure optimum performance and longevity. At CCL Wetrooms, thanks to over 30 years’ experience in wet room design, manufacture and specification, we specialise in the supply and installation of highly effective waterproofing systems. Our knowledge ensures the most effective waterproofing systems are used throughout domestic and commercial wet room projects. The tape can be over coated with Everbuild Waterproof Tanking Membrane immediately after application.The walls of a building can become damp for many reasons: building faults, penetrating damp, plumbing issues, and rising damp. Ultimately, damp walls are bad news. They can lead to structural issues as well as causing health issues. It also damages decoration, and looks and smells bad. Damp in walls is commonly caused by penetrating damp and in some rare occasions rising damp. Below ground, you may experience damp walls due to water ingress. This occurs due to hydrostatic pressure being exerted on the earth-retaining walls. Penetrating damp Has this wet room tanking guide been helpful?

Wear protective overalls and a mask as the chemical compounds in cementitious slurry can be harmful to eyes and skin.The liner is pre-cut along the length to allow one side of a corner to be applied and smoothed prior to repeating the process on the other side of the corner. Properties in areas with a high water table, at flooding risk or on lower ground with little natural drainage could be at higher risk. They therefore require a more robust barrier to deal with any water ingress. Walls above ground level do not experience hydrostatic pressure that leaves tanking slurry as a good option. Next generation wall tanking products from Permagard Tanking membranes also known as damp proof membranes are sheets of specially designed plastic material that act as a waterproof barrier to protect walls and floors from water ingress. Made from high quality HDPE, they are designed to withstand years of temperature fluctuation and exposure to water without becoming worn or degraded. Tanking membranes are easy to install onto damp walls, creating a small cavity to allow the wall to dry out. When joining the tape, and on internal corners, ensure the tape is over-lapped by at least 50mm onto the next piece.
