The bathroom is a zone with high humidity, so the furniture, walls, ceiling and floors of this room are in contact not only with water, but also with hot water vapor. Difficult conditions of use negatively affect the finish of the sanitary room, lead to the formation of mold, fungus, and an unpleasant odor.
The most annoying thing is that the water is slowly but surely destroying the concrete base of the bathroom wall. To prevent destruction, liquid waterproofing is used. This article will tell you about this convenient, practical and inexpensive way to protect surfaces in the bathroom 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 finish this room. Liquid waterproofing differs from rolled waterproofing in that it is produced in the form of a ready-to-use liquid, poured into cans or cans. It comes in 2 different types:
Note! Waterproofing the walls and floor of the bathroom with liquid glass is cheaper than liquid rubber. The price for 1 liter of compounds based on an aqueous solution of potassium and sodium starts from 50 rubles, and for bituminous mastic from 250 rubles. These materials are applied cold without the use of a gas burner, they treat the surface completely or only areas in contact with water.
Application methods
Liquid waterproofing is necessarily used in the bathroom to protect walls and floors from the destructive effects of water, mold, fungus and unpleasant odors. The advantage of materials produced in the form of a liquid lies in the solidity of the moisture-proof layer, in which there are no joints or connecting seams. With the help of these materials, surfaces are isolated 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 the surface in this way has excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation, temperature extremes, and mechanical stress. After installation, it seizes within the first hour.
Application in the bathroom
To finish the bathrooms of houses and apartments, materials with a high moisture protection factor are used, since the humid microclimate and difficult air circulation in this room disable less stable coatings. Waterproofing is applied in places where walls and floors are in contact with water: near the washbasin, under and around the bathroom, under the washing machine. With the help of liquid formulations, they process:

Waterproofing the 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.
It remains to choose the method of waterproofing and which brand of liquid rubber is best for your floor.
In both cases, the quality of the waterproofing of the floor can be checked by the strait. Pour water and keep for 48 hours - there should be no leakage.
Technoprok always has everything you need to independently apply the technology of liquid floor waterproofing in an apartment, in a house in a country house or at a production facility (automated or manually).
If you want professionals to do floor waterproofing for you, then the portfolio of Russian companies specializing in waterproofing with liquid rubber is on the website in the "Works" section. The price for the whole complex of works on waterproofing of your floor is determined by the companies independently.
Bituminous waterproofing of the floor Price of works with liquid rubber
If you do the work yourself, then floor waterproofing price corresponds to the cost of liquid rubber. If we involve a third-party company, we add the price for the application work, and then the price for waterproofing the floor includes both work and a margin on materials. You can save a little 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 to the country house.
floor waterproofing price liquid rubber is calculated by the formula:
(KKACH x PriceZhR [rub/kg] + PriceRAB [rub/m2]) x Sfloor [m2]
- Price ZhR - the price of liquid rubber (Technoprok, Rapidflex, Elastopaz or Elastomiks) for 1 kg.
- PriceRAB - the price of waterproofing the floor with liquid rubber per 1m2. This value depends on the region, on the amount of work, on the season, etc. In the 2014 season, on average, in Russia it is 247 rubles.
- Sfloor - floor area in m2.
- KKACH - floor waterproofing quality factor, its value is from 3 to 6. The higher the value, the higher the quality - decide for yourself.
To clarify the current prices for liquid rubber for floor waterproofing in your home, i.e. determine the PriceZhR parameter, .
If, after the calculation, you think that our prices for your apartment are expensive, then compare the alternative option by such parameters as:
- Does the material need to be heated during application? — Risk of fire.
- Do I need to level the floor before laying steam and waterproofing? - Add. work.
- Do I have to wait weeks or months for the smell to dissipate?
- What functional qualities are required from floor waterproofing in your apartment?
Wanting to save money, you can make bituminous waterproofing of the floor with cheap solvent-based mastics (it’s not a pity for workers who breathe this, and then lay a screed, tile 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, the smell of which can be endured on the street, is suitable for interior work. For the purpose of waterproofing the floor in an apartment, in a private house or cottage, it is better to use environmentally friendly liquid rubber, water-based bitumen emulsions.
Liquid bituminous waterproofing for large area floor
In fact, liquid rubber is a bituminous 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.
Again, “water-based” means that all such materials do not contain solvents, therefore there are no dangerous emissions, they are odorless.
Rapidflex and TECHNOPROC liquid rubbers are water-based direct bitumen-polymer emulsions for automated two-component application.
The consistency is liquid. Rapidflex and Technoprok are supplied in 200kg drums. Consumption for floor waterproofing is from 3.5 to 4 kg/m. The material is applied in 1 pass only with special equipment for liquid rubber.
Drying, a seamless coating with high elasticity and adhesion to concrete surfaces is obtained. Such waterproofing of the floor of the apartment is also an effective interfloor vapor barrier.
Bitumen-polymer emulsions Rapidflex and Technoprok are recommended to be used if you need to quickly waterproof the floor on large areas: hundreds - thousands - tens of thousands of square meters (industrial buildings, shopping centers, residential complexes, large cottages).
Apartment floor waterproofing
If we are talking about floor waterproofing on 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 vivid example is waterproofing a bathroom with your own hands.
Elastopaz liquid rubber is a water-based reverse bitumen-polymer emulsion for one-component manual application.
The consistency is paste. ELASTOPAZ are supplied in 18kg pails. The recommended consumption is from 3.5 kg/m2.
These compositions are great for waterproofing the floor in the house, on the balcony, loggia or terrace. It is convenient to use for waterproofing the floor in an apartment, bathroom, bathroom, kitchen, bath, shower room, basement, etc.
To speed up drying, Elastopaz mastic should be applied in layers. For example, 4kg/m2 is more correct to apply in 2 passes.
Waterproofing the floor in a private house in the country
As a rule, when it comes to waterproofing the floor in the country, then it concerns a relatively small area of a few tens of square meters.
Liquid rubber is a versatile material that is both steam and sound 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 top to bottom if it spills onto the floor, but also protect it from dampness from the basement, preventing steam from bottom to top.
Liquid bituminous floor waterproofing covers the base with a seamless elastic impervious carpet. The material is hygienically clean, dries quickly, completely odorless (floor waterproofing can be carried out even in a residential apartment without evacuation of residents), solvents are not required, because All liquid rubbers are water based.
Bituminous waterproofing of the floor in the house
Liquid rubber will allow you to get a seamless, monolithic waterproof membrane with excellent adhesion, which will perfectly repeat the floor relief. But it should be remembered that this is exactly the waterproofing of the floor, and not the topcoat. Those. on top of a waterproof rubber blanket, as a rule, it is required to lay tiles, make a screed, lay boards, etc.
Liquid rubber can be used for waterproofing not only on a concrete base, which in most cases for modern construction is a floor (floor slab or screed). It is also possible to perform waterproofing of the floor in a 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 by Technoproc.
If you raise the waterproofing layer by 150 ... 200 mm along the walls, you get a waterproof rubber caisson that will never let water down.
Using special equipment, it is really possible to perform floor waterproofing sprayed liquid rubber on an area up to 1000 m2 in just 8 ... 10 hours, by 3-4 people. If it is necessary to process 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 with an installation.
Technoproc's materials provide fast waterproofing in combination with high quality, tk. forms a seamless waterproof canvas with excellent adhesion to concrete or the base in a wooden house.

Floor waterproofing- an obligatory stage of the overhaul of the building, ensuring the protection of the premises from moisture penetration. The use of specialized liquid solutions based on a combination of bitumen with polymers makes it possible to create elastic monolithic coatings that retain unchanged strength during many years of operation. Due to the absence of any fumes house floor waterproofing can be carried out indoors without danger to the performers of the work.
Floor waterproofing services
At the turn of the century, technology was developed floor surface treatment with liquid rubber, the essence of which is to apply a bitumen-polymer emulsion to the surface, which, when solidified, forms a membrane that is absolutely insurmountable for water due to its complete tightness.
Sprayed floor waterproofing
For floor waterproofing 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. The primer, in addition to providing a better application of the base emulsion, provides filling of minor cracks and chips. After a short wait, the main layer of liquid rubber is applied.
Compared to bulk and paint coating methods, sprayed floor waterproofing It is characterized by ease of implementation and high productivity, which is especially important when processing large-sized surfaces. The mechanization of operations, combined with the guaranteed filling of irregularities and cracks, makes it possible to apply a universal method for processing smooth and curved surfaces.
sprayed concrete floor waterproofing combines the advantages of a special protective composition and a universal technology for applying a moisture-proof material. Correct execution of operations is the key to successful processing of floor surfaces. Advantages of sprayed waterproofing:
- Simple application method;
- Filling irregularities, seams and cracks;
- Operational hardening of the layer;
- Formation of a seamless monolithic coating;
- No need for warm-up;
- Environmental safety of the coating;
- No toxic emissions;
- Impervious to water and steam;
- Perfect coverage uniformity;
- Resistance to intense hydrostatic loads;
- Operational durability.
Floor waterproofing with the application of the composition by cold spraying - a practical and absolutely safe technological process. The use of standard technologies is associated with difficulties that manifest themselves in the processing of uneven bases. sprayed house floor waterproofing allows you to create an elastic coating that perfectly fills any bumps and cracks. The rapid formation of a seamless moisture-proof layer is the most important advantage of spraying liquid rubber onto treated floor surfaces.
Surface preparation
Concrete floor waterproofing starts with preparing the foundation. After removing dirt and moisture, the surface is covered with a primer. For the primer, one of the components of the bitumen-polymer waterproofing is used. The application of the emulsion without a hardener ensures the penetration of the material into the smallest pores and cracks in concrete with the formation of the thinnest bitumen-polymer film. For a high-quality result, it is necessary to prime all interfaces with the walls. The main layer is sprayed after the soil has completely dried.

With all the external solidity, concrete is a rather fragile material, susceptible to moisture. Water reacts with salts and destroys it from the inside. Liquid waterproofing for concrete will extend the life of walls and floors. Penetrating compositions are easy to apply, provide reliable protection.
Liquid waterproofing: types, features, benefits
The solution impregnates the thickness of the floor, closes the pores and cracks, forms a film on the surface. Types of liquid waterproofing for concrete:
- One-component. Bituminous and polymeric mastic on a water basis. Apply with a roller, brush or trowel. Even an amateur can buy liquid waterproofing and process the floor in the bathroom.
- Two-component. Liquid waterproofing with bitumen-polymer cold spray emulsion is suitable for large areas. Its unofficial name is liquid rubber, it gives a monolithic, plastic and durable coating.
- Seamless liquid waterproofing for concrete adheres perfectly to the surface. Forms a waterproof membrane layer.
Liquid waterproofing does not need heating. It is applied cold, it does not require much labor. Only three workers can cover more than 1000 square meters with an insulating compound. during the day.
It is reasonable to buy liquid waterproofing, depending on the needs, in the form of powder, mastic, special finished mass. We recommend that you consult with the manager before purchasing in order to select the appropriate material.
In private houses, in industrial and commercial buildings, liquid waterproofing is required for the foundation. Groundwater gradually undermines the foundation. Prevention and protection from excessive moisture is indispensable.
Advantages of liquid waterproofing for the foundation and floor:
- increased strength;
- gives an even coverage;
- freezes quickly;
- withstands temperatures from -55° to +95°;
- does not contain combustible and volatile substances;
- liquid waterproofing does not need to be preheated;
