The bathroom is an area with high humidity, therefore the furniture, walls, ceiling and floors of this room are in contact not only with water, but also with hot water vapor. Difficult conditions use negatively affects the decoration of the sanitary room, leading to the formation of mold, mildew, unpleasant odor.
The most unpleasant thing is that water slowly but surely destroys the concrete base of the bathroom wall. To prevent destruction, liquid waterproofing is used. About this convenient, practical and inexpensive way This article will tell you how to protect bathroom surfaces from moisture.
Types of liquid waterproofing
Liquid waterproofing– substances that are applied to the surface of the floor, walls, ceiling to impart moisture-proof properties. Protecting the bathroom from moisture is of paramount importance, although, as a rule, materials with high resistance to water and water vapor are used to decorate this room.
Liquid waterproofing differs from roll waterproofing in that it is produced in the form of a ready-to-use liquid, poured into cans or jars. It comes in 2 different types: Note! Waterproofing liquid glass bathroom walls and floors are cheaper than liquid rubber. The price for 1 liter of compositions based on an aqueous solution of potassium and sodium starts from 50 rubles, and for bitumen mastic from 250 rubles. These materials are applied cold without using gas burner
, treat the surface with them completely or only the areas in contact with water.
Application methods
Liquid waterproofing is always used in the bathroom to protect walls and floors from the destructive effects of water, mold, mildew and unpleasant odors. The advantage of materials produced in the form of a liquid lies in the monolithic nature of the moisture-proof layer, in which there are no joints or connecting seams. Using these materials, surfaces are insulated in 3 ways: Important! The service life of liquid waterproofing is 20-30 years, during which it loses its moisture-proof properties. Water protection applied to surfaces in this way has excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation, temperature changes, mechanical stress
. After installation, it sets within the first hour.
To decorate the bathrooms of houses and apartments, materials with a high moisture protection factor are used, since a humid microclimate and difficult air circulation in this room damage less resistant coatings. Waterproofing is used in places where walls and floors come into contact with water: near the washbasin, under and around the bathtub, under washing machine. By using liquid formulations processed:

Waterproofing a floor with liquid rubber today is the most effective, environmentally friendly and economical way to quickly and efficiently make a vapor-waterproof sound-absorbing coating.
All that remains is to choose the method of waterproofing and what brand liquid rubber better for your floor.
In both cases, the quality of the floor waterproofing can be checked by spilling. Pour water and leave for 48 hours - there should be no leakage.
The Technoprok company always has everything you need to independently apply the technology of liquid floor waterproofing in an apartment, in a country house or at a production facility (automated or manually).
If you want professionals to waterproof your floor, then the portfolio Russian companies, specializing in waterproofing work with liquid rubber, on the website in the “Works” section. The price for the entire range of works on waterproofing your floor is determined by the companies independently.
Bituminous floor waterproofing Price of work with liquid rubber
If you do the work yourself, then floor waterproofing price corresponds to the cost of liquid rubber. If you hire a third-party company, we add the price for the application work, and then the price for waterproofing the floor includes both the work and a markup on materials. You can save a little money if you buy the materials yourself and pay the contractor only for the work. But then we should not forget about the costs of delivering liquid rubber directly to the apartment or country house.
Floor waterproofing price liquid rubber is calculated using the formula:
(KKACH x PriceZhR [rub/kg] + PriceRAB [rub/m2]) x Sfloor [m2]
- Price ZhR - the price of liquid rubber (Technoprok, Rapidflex, Elastopaz or Elastomix) per 1 kg.
- PriceRAB - the price of waterproofing the floor with liquid rubber per 1m2. This value depends on the region, on the volume of work, on the season, etc. In the 2014 season, on average in Russia it is 247 rubles.
- Sfloor - floor area in m2.
- KKACH is the quality coefficient of floor waterproofing, its value is from 3 to 6. The higher the value, the higher the quality - decide for yourself.
To clarify current prices for liquid rubber for waterproofing the floor in your home, i.e. determine the parameter ZhR Price, .
If, after the calculation, you think that our prices for your apartment are expensive, then compare Alternative option according to parameters such as:
- Does the material need to be heated during application? - Risk of fire.
- Do I need to level the floor before installing steam and waterproofing? — Add. work.
- Do I have to wait weeks or months for the smell to dissipate?
- What functional qualities are required from waterproofing the floor in your apartment?
If you want to save money, you can waterproof the bitumen floor with cheap solvent-based mastics (you don’t mind the workers who breathe in this), and then lay screed, tiles or laminate on top. After a month or more, the smell will remain. And then... open the floor, break the screed, change the waterproofing .
In 90% of cases, floor waterproofing is carried out inside residential, administrative or utility premises, i.e. where people will always be. Therefore, environmental issues come to the fore. And not every material whose smell can be tolerated on the street is suitable for interior works. For the purpose of waterproofing the floor in an apartment, private house or cottage, it is better to use environmentally friendly liquid rubber bitumen emulsions on water based.
Liquid bitumen waterproofing for large floor areas
In essence, liquid rubber is bitumen floor waterproofing, because... All materials are dispersions of bitumen in water. These are either direct or reverse water-based bitumen-polymer emulsions, without solvents and volatile substances.
Let us repeat, “water-based” means that all such materials do not contain solvents, therefore there are no dangerous emissions, they are odorless.
Liquid rubbers Rapidflex and TECHNOPROC are direct water-based bitumen-polymer emulsions for automated two-component application.
The consistency is liquid. Rapidflex and Technoprok are supplied in 200 kg barrels. Consumption for floor waterproofing is from 3.5 to 4 kg/m. The material is applied in 1 pass only using special equipment for liquid rubber.
When it dries, it turns out seamless coating with high elasticity and adhesion to concrete surfaces. Such waterproofing of the apartment floor is also an effective interfloor vapor barrier.
Bitumen-polymer emulsions Rapidflex and Technoprok are recommended for use if you need to quickly waterproof floors over large areas: hundreds - thousands - tens of thousands of square meters ( industrial building, shopping centers, residential complexes, large cottages).
Waterproofing the apartment floor
If we are talking about waterproofing a floor over an area of less than a hundred meters or several tens of meters or several meters, and the insulated surface is divided into several sections, then the work can be done manually, without installation. It will be cheaper than hiring a company or buying equipment. A striking example— waterproofing a bathroom with your own hands.
Liquid rubber Elastopaz is a water-based reverse bitumen-polymer emulsion for one-component manual application.
The consistency is like paste. ELASTOPAZ are supplied in 18kg buckets. Recommended consumption - from 3.5 kg/m2.
These compounds are excellent for waterproofing floors in the house, on a balcony, loggia or terrace. Convenient to use for waterproofing floors in an apartment, bathroom, toilet, kitchen, bathhouse, shower room, basement, etc.
To speed up drying, Elastopaz mastic should be applied in layers. For example, 4 kg/m2 is more correct to apply in 2 passes.
Waterproofing a floor in a private country house
As a rule, when it comes to waterproofing a floor in a country house, the matter concerns relatively little large area several tens of square meters.
Liquid rubber is a universal material that is both vapor and sound insulating and waterproofing. Vapor barrier is relevant if waterproofing the floor of the first floor, under which there is a basement. If the basement is damp, then the waterproofing of the floor of the 1st floor should not only not allow water to pass from above to bottom if it spills on the floor, but also protect against dampness from the basement, preventing steam from bottom to top.
Liquid bitumen floor waterproofing covers the base with a seamless, elastic, impervious carpet. The material is hygienically clean, dries quickly, completely odorless (floor waterproofing work can be carried out even in a residential apartment without evicting residents), no solvents are required, because All liquid rubbers are water-based.
Bitumen waterproofing of the floor in the house
Liquid rubber will allow you to obtain a seamless, monolithic waterproof membrane with excellent adhesion, which will ideally follow the topography of the floor. But it should be remembered that this is just waterproofing the floor, and not finishing coat. Those. On top of a waterproof rubber blanket, as a rule, it is necessary to lay tiles, make a screed, lay boards, etc.
Liquid rubbers can be used to waterproof not only concrete base, which in most cases for modern construction is the floor (floor slab or screed). It is also possible to waterproof the floor in wooden house. For this “special case” it is necessary to take into account some features of the technology. It is not difficult and such solutions have long been developed at Technoprok.
If you raise the waterproofing layer by 150...200mm along the walls, you will get a waterproof rubber caisson that will never allow water to pass down.
Using special equipment, it is possible to actually perform waterproofing floors sprayed liquid rubber on an area of up to 1000 m2 in just 8...10 hours, with the help of 3-4 people. If it is necessary to treat the floor on several square meters in the bathroom, on the balcony, in the garage, etc., then doing it manually will be easier, cheaper, and faster than hiring a company to install it.
Technoprok company materials provide quick waterproofing in combination with high quality, because a seamless waterproof fabric is formed with excellent adhesion to concrete or the base of a wooden house.

Floor waterproofing- mandatory stage overhaul building, protecting the premises from moisture penetration. The use of specialized liquid solutions based on a combination of bitumen and polymers makes it possible to create elastic monolithic coatings that maintain constant strength over many years of operation. Due to the absence of any evaporation waterproofing the floor in the house can be performed indoors without danger to the performers of the work.
Floor waterproofing services
At the turn of the century, technology was developed treating the floor surface with liquid rubber, the essence of which boils down to applying a bitumen-polymer emulsion to the surface, which, when hardened, forms a membrane that is absolutely impenetrable to water due to its complete tightness.
Sprayed floor waterproofing
For waterproofing floors with liquid rubber In large areas, compact and convenient Canadian spraying equipment is used. The floor must be leveled and primed before applying liquid rubber. Primer, in addition to providing better application basic emulsion, ensures filling of minor cracks and chips. After a short wait, the main layer of liquid rubber is applied.
In comparison with self-leveling and painting methods of coating, sprayed floor waterproofing It is characterized by ease of implementation and high productivity, which is especially important when processing large-sized surfaces. Mechanization of operations combined with guaranteed filling of irregularities and cracks allows the use of a universal method for processing smooth and curved surfaces.
Sprayable waterproofing concrete floor combines the advantages of special protective composition and universal technology for applying moisture-proof material. Proper execution operations is the key to successful treatment of floor surfaces. Advantages of sprayed waterproofing:
- Simple application method;
- Filling irregularities, seams and cracks;
- Prompt hardening of the layer;
- Formation of a seamless monolithic coating;
- No need to warm up;
- Environmental safety of the coating;
- No toxic emissions;
- Impermeability to water and steam;
- Ideal coverage uniformity;
- Resistance to intense hydrostatic loads;
- Operational durability.
Floor waterproofing with application of the composition by cold spray - practical and absolutely safe technological process. The use of standard technologies is associated with difficulties that arise when processing uneven bases. Sprayable waterproofing the floor in the house allows you to create an elastic coating that ideally fills any unevenness and cracks. Rapid formation of a seamless moisture-proof layer - major advantage spraying liquid rubber onto treated floor surfaces.
Surface preparation
Waterproofing concrete floor begins with preparing the foundation. After removing dirt and moisture, the surface is coated with a primer. One of the components is used for the primer bitumen-polymer waterproofing. Application of the emulsion without a hardener ensures the penetration of the material into the smallest pores and cracks of concrete with the formation of the thinnest bitumen-polymer film. For a high-quality result, it is necessary to prime all connections with the walls. The main layer is sprayed after the soil has completely dried.
