When it comes to safeguarding structures, the process is as crucial as the product. Here’s a breakdown of the meticulous steps involved in fortifying your surfaces with Dr. Fixit’s expertise:
Step 1: Surface Preparation Optional yet foundational, this step involves the meticulous removal of existing waterproofing and tile finishes to reach the mother slab. This includes the meticulous removal of dead mortar, shifting, and transportation, setting the stage for a clean canvas.
Step 2: The Protective Foundation Building a robust foundation involves the precise laying of a 40 to 50mm protective screed, ensuring a designed slope towards drain outlets. Crafted from a concrete mix ratio of 1:1.5:3, embedded with Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+ integral waterproofing compound, this layer is fortified to resist water ingress. A smooth IPS finish is applied, encompassing angles, fillets, corner rounding, and meticulous detailing.
Step 3: Layered Protection Adding another layer of defense, a 125 to 150mm Brick Bat Coba is meticulously laid on a 20mm thick basecoat. This involves a mixture of 1:3 proportions, fortified with Dr. Fixit Pidiproof LW+. Once again, a smooth IPS finish, along with detailed provision of angles, fillets, corner rounding, and the incorporation of a 12mm Ø leakage spout, completes this phase.
Each step in this meticulous process is a testament to Dr. Fixit’s commitment to comprehensive waterproofing solutions. From surface preparation to the intricate detailing, every stage is crafted to fortify structures against the elements, ensuring longevity and resilience.
