Bathroom Polypropylene Fiber Cloth Waterproofing Process !
The following are the general construction process steps for waterproofing with polypropylene fiber cloth in the bathroom :
1. Base Treatment
Clean the surface of the bathroom base, removing dust, debris, loose particles, etc.
Repair cracks, holes on the base surface to ensure the base is flat and firm !
2. Joint Treatment
Use sealing materials to strengthen the joint parts such as internal and external corners, pipe roots, and floor drains in the bathroom.
3. Prepare The Adhesive
According to the product instructions, prepare the special adhesive and stir evenly !
4. Lay The Polypropylene Fiber Cloth
Unfold the polypropylene fiber cloth and start laying from one end of the bathroom, gradually advancing to the other end !
Ensure the polypropylene fiber cloth is flat, without wrinkles, and closely adhered to the base !
5. Bond The Polypropylene Fiber Cloth
Use the prepared adhesive to evenly brush on the polypropylene fiber cloth and the base !
Use a roller brush or scraper to compact and expel air bubbles to make the polypropylene fiber cloth firmly bonded to the base !
6. Lap Joint Treatment
There should be sufficient lap width between adjacent polypropylene fiber cloth, generally not less than 10 centimeters !
The lap joint area should also be brushed with adhesive to ensure good sealing !
7. Inspection And Repair
After the construction is completed, carefully inspect the laying of the polypropylene fiber cloth. If there are problems such as air bubbles, wrinkles, and weak bonding, repair them in time !
8. Water Closure Test
After the construction of the waterproof layer with polypropylene fiber cloth is completed and dried, conduct a water closure test. Store water in the bathroom and maintain it for a certain period of time (usually more than 24 hours) to observe whether there is any leakage.
It should be noted that the specific construction process may vary depending on product characteristics, construction environment, and requirements. Before construction, carefully read the product manual and relevant construction specifications, and the operation should be carried out by professional construction personnel.
The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Waterproofing With Polypropylene Fiber Cloth Are As Follows :
Advantages:
Good Waterproof And Impermeability
Polypropylene fiber cloth itself has good waterproof performance, which can effectively prevent water penetration and leakage problems !
Good Cement Adhesion
The surface is rough and uniform, and it is easy to directly bond with cement materials during the solidification process.The bonding peel strength is high, and it is suitable for bonding with the base of various materials. It can be stably attached on vertical and horizontal surfaces, and decoration construction can be carried out on its surface, such as adhering ceramic tiles and plastering cement mortar !
Relatively Simple Construction
Compared with some complex waterproof construction processes, the construction process of waterproofing with polypropylene fiber cloth is relatively simple and does not require special equipment and complex techniques !
Relatively Economical Price
The cost of polypropylene fiber cloth waterproofing materials is relatively low, and it is a more economical and practical waterproofing option, which can reduce the overall cost of the waterproofing project !
Equipped With An Anti-Aging Layer
There is a separate anti-aging layer, which to a certain extent improves the service life of the product and has good durability !
Low Requirements For The Base Layer
There are no special requirements for the moisture content of the base layer. Construction can be carried out as long as there is no obvious accumulated water on the base layer, and the scope of adaptation is wide !
Disadvantages:
Poor Heat Resistance
The heat resistance is limited. Deformation may occur when the temperature reaches about 80 degrees Celsius, affecting the waterproof effect !
Poor UV Resistance
It is prone to rapid aging in exposed environments. For example, if exposed to the sun for a long time, it may become brittle and even pulverized within a month, so it is not suitable for waterproofing of exposed parts outdoors !
Differentiation Problem
A large number of additives added in modified asphalt may lose their effectiveness over time, resulting in a decline in material performance !
Difficulties In Closing And Detailed Treatment
There are significant risks in the closing of the coiled material and detailed treatment. Methods such as hot melt strengthening treatment are required to prevent problems, and it is difficult to fully attach polypropylene fiber cloth to all interfaces. The construction quality in some complex parts is difficult to guarantee !
