Building waterproofing: NEXLER BITFLEX 1KP, polystyrene-filled thick waterproofing coating, 30 L

A dry basement and well-protected foundations bring benefits throughout a home’s life. Waterproofing helps separate the building from moisture and water under the conditions set out in the design. SteelProfil supplies suitable protection materials and helps match them to their application. Continuity deserves attention at this stage, because individual surfaces must form one properly connected system.

Foundations, basement walls and ground-level areas may need different solutions depending on the substrate and water conditions. The waterproofing range includes products with distinct applications, including specific damp-proof and waterproof coatings. Polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings, known as PMBC or KMB, are one example: they form a continuous barrier within the manufacturer’s stated scope. Start by identifying the protection needed for the particular building element.

An applied coating can follow corners and more complex shapes. Service penetrations and connections between vertical and horizontal waterproofing require care because different building elements meet there. A suitable system allows these details to be planned before foundations are backfilled. For the owner, this helps coordinate protection with earthworks and preparations for thermal insulation.

Selection depends on substrate compatibility, required dry-layer thickness and application conditions. The materials that will later touch the waterproofing are equally important. Solvent-free solutions approved for contact with polystyrene are available, but this compatibility must be checked for the specific product. We help account for these relationships so the coating, insulation and protective layers suit both the design and conditions around the building.

SteelProfil offers promotions and competitive prices on materials for construction and refurbishment. Selected products are available immediately, helping organise weather-dependent work. Our sheet metal, boards and insulation also come in first and second grade; waterproofing chemicals are chosen according to their product specification. This approach combines economical purchasing with materials suited to their intended function in the finished building.

Prepare an approximate area and details of the substrate to estimate product quantity from the specified consumption. This makes it easier to plan successive layers, their installation time and completion of the stage. We can discuss waterproofing alongside insulation for the relevant parts of the building. Protection that disappears beneath later layers remains important to everyday use, helping the space serve its intended purpose.
