Even with quality products, poor application can lead to waterproofing failures. Understanding common mistakes can help avoid rework and financial losses.
Skipping Surface Preparation: Dust, oil, or uneven substrates reduce adhesion. Always clean and smoothen surfaces before applying any coating.
Using Incorrect Mixing Ratios: Over-diluting or under-mixing chemicals weakens performance. Follow Raltro’s technical guidelines precisely.
Ignoring Cracks or Joints: Small cracks are gateways for leakage. Seal them properly with suitable joint sealants.
Insufficient Curing: Some systems need curing to achieve full strength. Skipping this step shortens service life.
Applying in Unfavorable Conditions: Extreme temperatures or rain during application can cause blistering or peeling.
