Flexible waterproof casing is a waterproof material widely used in the construction field, due to its excellent waterproof performance and flexibility, it is widely used in waterproof projects in humid environments such as basements, toilets, swimming pools, etc. This article will introduce the characteristics, applications and construction methods of flexible waterproof casing in detail.
First, the characteristics of flexible waterproof casing.
1.Excellent waterproof performance: The flexible waterproof casing is made of special materials, which has good water resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance, which can effectively prevent water penetration and ensure the service life of the building.
2.Good flexibility: The flexible waterproof casing has good flexibility, can be used on pipes of different shapes, has strong adaptability, and is not easy to crack and break.
3.Easy construction: The flexible waterproof casing is easy to install, easy to install and disassemble, which can effectively reduce the difficulty and cost of construction.
4.Long service life: The flexible waterproof casing has a long service life after special treatment, generally up to more than 20 years.
Second, the application of flexible waterproof casing.
1.Basement waterproofing: The basement environment is humid and prone to leakage, and the flexible waterproof casing can effectively prevent groundwater infiltration and protect the pipes and equipment in the basement.
2.Toilet waterproofing: The bathroom is an area with large water consumption in the family, and it is also a place where leakage is likely to occur, and the use of flexible waterproof sleeve can ensure the waterproof effect of the bathroom.
3.Swimming pool waterproofing: swimming pools are in a water environment for a long time, and waterproof materials need to be used to prevent water penetration, and flexible waterproof casing is an ideal swimming pool waterproof material.
4.Other occasions: In addition to the above occasions, the flexible waterproof casing can also be used in the waterproofing project of basement garage, equipment room and other occasions.
3. Construction method of flexible waterproof casing.
1.Construction preparation: Before construction, it is necessary to clean the base layer to ensure that the base layer is dry, smooth and firm, and at the same time, the required materials and tools need to be prepared.
2.Installation and fixation: Install the flexible waterproof sleeve on the pipe according to the design requirements, and fix it firmly with brackets or expansion screws.
3.Caulking treatment: Fill the gap between the flexible waterproof casing and the pipe with sealing material to ensure tightness.
4.Apply waterproof layer: apply waterproof coating on the surface of the flexible waterproof sleeve, and apply it evenly to ensure the thickness and smoothness of the coating.
5.Acceptance test: After the construction is completed, it is necessary to carry out acceptance testing to check whether the waterproof effect meets the requirements, and local strengthening treatment can be carried out if necessary.
In a word, as an important waterproof material, flexible waterproof casing has been widely used in the construction field. Understanding its characteristics, applications and construction methods will help to better select and use this material, providing a reliable guarantee for the waterproofing of buildings.
