The effectiveness and durability of waterproofing depends on expert planning and implementation of the works. SInce the summer of 2017, planners and installers have been using the new DIN 18533 standard as a basis for waterproofing new build structures below ground level.
Water and salt are responsible for most building damage. As a consequence, visible damp lines, destroyed joints, sanding or, in the worst case, can cause irreparable damage to the building's substance. In addition, brick walls saturated with moisture are harmful to users and residents. The basis for solving these kind of complex damage processes is good planning - the waterproofing concept.
With the introduction of the new series of standards for waterproofing buildings, the material, which has been comprehensively tested, meets the planning and installation principles for this type of damp protection as outlined in DIN 18534 ‘Interior waterproofing’.
