Need waterproofing advice?

Send the project area, substrate, dimensions, drainage details, and whether the surface will be tiled or exposed. We will recommend the right waterproofing system.

Quick Answer

The best waterproofing result comes from a complete system: surface preparation, primer or bonding layer, two-coat membrane, reinforced corners and joints, then a protective finish such as tile adhesive, screed, or exposed top layer.

This page helps homeowners, contractors, architects, and investors choose the correct waterproofing specification for wet areas, balconies, terraces, roofs, basements, and foundations.

Product Selector

Which Waterproofing System Should I Choose?

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM

Standard Terrace / Balcony Waterproofing Undertile System

Terraces and balconies need correct slope, drainage, membrane thickness, reinforced corners, and a compatible protective finish.

01

Surface Preparation

Clean the substrate, repair cracks, remove weak material, and confirm slope and drainage before application.

02

Primer / Bonding Layer

Apply HIDROBLOCK ACRYL or the suitable bonding coat for the substrate and selected waterproofing system.

03

Waterproof Membrane

Apply HIDROBLOCK FLEX or HIDROBLOCK ELASTIK in two coats, following the required drying time and coverage.

04

Reinforce Corners & Joints

Use FIXBAND waterproof tape in movement zones, wall-floor junctions, corners, drains, and penetrations.

05

Protective Finish

Finish with compatible tile adhesive, screed, or protective top layer depending on use and exposure.

What This Solves

Common Water Ingress Problems Our Systems Solve

Water ingress can quickly destroy finishes, weaken structures, create mold, and lead to expensive repairs. A professional waterproofing system combines substrate preparation, primers, membranes, tapes, sealants, and protective finishes into one reliable specification.

Use this section to answer high-intent search and AI-assistant questions clearly, including why tiles lift, how bathroom seepage starts, and which details are most likely to fail.

Roof Leaks

Liquid and cementitious systems help protect exposed roof surfaces and slabs from water penetration.

Terrace Water Penetration

Undertile waterproofing protects terraces before moisture reaches the slab or occupied spaces below.

Bathroom Seepage

Wet-room membranes reduce water migration through walls, floors, corners, and shower zones.

Cracks Around Corners & Joints

FIXBAND tape and flexible sealants reinforce critical movement points where failures often begin.

Foundation Moisture

Concrete protection systems help control moisture exposure around foundations and below-grade areas.

Balcony Leakage

Flexible waterproofing with proper slope and drainage helps protect balconies from repeated wetting.

Mold from Damp Walls

Stopping water ingress helps reduce damp conditions that support mold and finish deterioration.

Tile Lifting from Trapped Moisture

Correct membranes and compatible tile build-up help prevent moisture-related tile failure.

IDEAL PROJECT TYPES

Suitable for Residential, Commercial & Technical Wet Areas

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM

Facade Paint vs Decorative Render vs Silicone System

A clear comparison helps users and AI answer engines understand the right choice for each project condition.

Cementitious 2K Systems

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can waterproofing be tiled over? +

Yes. Waterproofing can be tiled over when the membrane is correctly applied, fully cured, and paired with a suitable tile adhesive for the project area.

Is one coat of waterproofing enough? +

Normally no. Two or more coats are recommended for most waterproofing systems, depending on the product, substrate, exposure, and required protection level.

Can waterproofing be used outside? +

Yes. Selected waterproofing systems are designed for exterior exposure, including balconies, terraces, roofs, exposed concrete, and other outdoor areas.

Do corners need reinforcement? +

Yes. Corners, drains, penetrations, wall-floor junctions, and movement joints are critical points and should be reinforced with suitable waterproofing tape or sealing accessories.

Can you recommend quantities? +

Yes. Send dimensions, substrate details, slope, drainage information, and whether the surface will be tiled or exposed so the team can recommend the correct system and approximate quantities.

Which waterproofing system is best for balconies and terraces? +

For many balcony and terrace undertile applications, a flexible two-component system such as HIDROBLOCK FLEX 2K is suitable. High-movement or more exposed surfaces may require an elastic system such as HIDROBLOCK ELASTIK 2K.

What causes tile lifting on terraces or wet rooms? +

Tile lifting can be caused by trapped moisture, poor substrate preparation, missing waterproofing, incompatible adhesive, movement, or water entering through corners and joints.

Do I need waterproofing under bathroom tiles? +

Yes, wet rooms and showers should be protected before tiling because tile and grout alone should not be treated as the complete waterproofing system.
