Waterproofing, in fact, can be used not only for floors, but also for walls and even for ceilings, and if you do not use it during the repair of the apartment, then the walls and ceilings of your dwelling can become rods of mold, fungi and damp. Such consequences of the lack of waterproofing or its competent use can cause damage not only to your home, but also to health since dampness and mold increase the risk of respiratory diseases. In order to prevent this from happening, you need to prevent the occurrence of mold, and just order the waterproofing of the floor. Most often, private houses, cottages or cottages, which were built from materials easily passing moisture are subject to the appearance of dampness and mold. For example, wood. Due to its practicality, many prefer to use it in the construction of houses. Wooden floors, walls or ceilings look attractive, but on the other hand, a tree is a natural product and, therefore, is easily exposed to moisture and dampness, which means that such floors will need waterproofing.
As for the waterproofing of the floor covering of the first floor, it must be carried out there during the installation of the lag for the future floor, which must first be saturated with a special antiseptic solution. Those places where the lags rely on the construction of the building, as a rule, these are foundation columns or walls, should be insulated using roofing felts or roofing roofing lines. It is these places that are prone to the penetration of dampness and moisture into the house. If there are no basements in your house, then on the outside of the foundation it will be necessary to make small holes in order to ensure ventilation of the underground space.
In order to waterproof the wooden floor, it must first be insulated. To do this, the first thing is the so -called black floor, which is also processed by waterproofing impregnation. A heater is laid on top of it and then a clean floor from the floor boards is already laid, on which a waterproofing coating of bitumen or polymer varnishes is also applied. But it should also be taken into account that if the space is provided between the draft and the clean floor, then in this case it is necessary to provide ventilation. To do this, in those places where the floor boards are joined with the wall, drill small holes with a diameter of 10mm.
After the waterproofing work is completed, you can start painting the floor. But first, Oliph is applied to it and after drying you can start painting work.
