Product Description

Waterproofing insulation is considered one of the most important types of building insulation because it protects it from moisture and precipitates rain, ground and surface water. It is also important to isolate water tanks for owners of buildings and villas to preserve drinking water in tanks and prevent water leakage.

What Does Waterproofing Mean?

Waterproofing means the installation of a barrier that has the property of preventing the leakage of water or moisture from and to the building elements. These materials are divided into:

Insulating materials in internal surfaces: such as bathrooms, toilets, laundry rooms, and water tanks.

Insulating materials in exterior surfaces: such as ceilings, exposed balconies, agricultural basins, and swimming pools.

Benefits of Waterproofing

Waterproofing insulation provides full protection for property owners at a low cost and protects them from the periodic maintenance costs which will be required if the insulation materials are not used. It protects the buildings from the transfer of moisture to its non-isolated foundations in the winter, where moisture rises in the form of water vapor, penetrates the concrete and floors and decomposes them into oxides and carbonates that appear on the surface of the tiles as a white foam, also protects the concrete in the foundations of disintegration and protects the reinforcing steel from rust.

Waterproofing and insulation of tanks

Insulation of tanks is one of the important types of waterproofing which is necessary to be used. The engineering company provides the service of isolating the tanks. The insulation of the tanks is divided into two parts according to the status of the structural element:

Positive water insulation

This insulation is done by using an insulating material on the wall of the water tank from inside, preventing water leakage. Positive insulation is called because the insulation layer prevents leaking water from penetrating the structural foundations of the wall to maintain it.

Passive water insulation

We resort to this type of insulation when a leak actually occurs from or to the reservoir, and resort to the external insulation of the tank when difficult to isolate from the inside, and certainly, positive insulation is better because it protects the reservoir from leaking.
