RESIDENCE SECURED TO LAST
13 Jun 2019
Every stone and cladded surface of this stylish house was secured for durability and longevity thanks to the exclusive use of Drizoro Maxseal Flex, a flexible coating from Scientific Waterproofing Products. Find out how it works.
Drizoro Maxseal Flex from Scientific Waterproofing Products is the ideal solution for waterproofing floor and wall joints of permanent formwork. It offers high performance as a bonding bridge on permanent formwork and for the installation of cement and acrylic render, paint, tiles and rock or brick cladding.
Maxseal Flex is a coating with flexible and waterproofing properties that adheres to practically every surface, such as concrete, natural and artificial stone, mortar plasters, bricks, concrete blocks and more. It can be subjected to both positive or negative high-water pressure and can be rendered or painted over.
For this residence, Maxseal Flex was used on all stone and cladding surfaces, including the swimming pool, timber deck, timber wall cladding, exterior stone and on the stone walls in the underground wine cellar.
Maxseal Flex is a two-component product: the first is a water-based acrylic resin, and the second is a mortar-based mix of cement, additives and well-graded aggregates. Once applied and cured it provides a non-toxic, flexible and waterproof coating that adheres to those common substrates in construction such as concrete, natural and artificial stone, traditional mortar plasters, bricks, concrete blocks.
Once applied, it provides a fully-flexible coating that ensures complete waterproofing even in the most severe conditions. It covers shrinkage and hairline cracks of the concrete and can act as an anti-fracture membrane between the substrate and other finishing coats if applied.
Maxseal Flex is both a CO2 and chlorine (Cl-) barrier, and thereby prevents carbonation and electrochemical corrosion. It is permeable to water vapour, allows the substrate to breathe, is resistant to abrasion and UV rays, and can withstand atmospheric pollution, corrosive effects of saltwater and de-icing salts, and freeze/thaw cycles. These components make it ideal for surfaces that are exposed to harsh outdoor weather conditions, and areas that can be prone to dampness.
With excellent adhesion, Maxseal Flex is easy to use, does not require bonding agents and can be applied on wet surfaces. It lasts longer than other coatings and is environmentally friendly.
Drizoro cement-based waterproofing products are non-toxic and suitable for all concrete surfaces, bricks, blocks, AAC panels and AAC blocks.
