Waterproofing specialist Malaysia capable to service you from specification preparation or design stage, supply, installation to rectification work. Waterproofing is extremely important for countries such as Malaysia where we have relatively high humidity atmosphere and our raining season made up most of the days in a year. The importance of waterproofing cannot be neglected and every single building must get some sort of waterproofing in order to ensure water element will not penetrate the building, affecting the structure and subsequently cause safety issue and other inconveniences to the tenants. Today, waterproofing supplier in Malaysia is everywhere and there are so many brands in the market competing with each other yet they can still survive because of one critical obvious reason, the cake of this industry is huge.
During the design stage, most architects and engineers will specify the waterproofing brands, level of specification to any designated area in the building. It is essential to treat different area of the building differently in order to prevent so called “over-specified” or “under-specified” problems. These two issues must be handled carefully since it is interrelated closely with safety and financial. Waterproofing supplier Malaysia usually will advise to pay more budget on structural component of the building such as load-bearing concrete column and concrete beam, from the admixture to the surface. Structural elements may turn into severe issue if no proper waterproofing being treated initially, when water penetrates into the inner part of concrete, steel in touch with water and corrosion process could occur. Corrosion will subsequently affect structural strength of these components, from foundation to load bearing wall as well as roof structure.
Waterproofing supplier in Malaysia come across a lot of incidents where developer want to save cost and compromise on the waterproofing specification, even not serious on those structural parts of the building. The usage of waterproofing is to close up the porosity of concrete infill and surface, blocking chemical and water elements to infiltrate concrete, then indirectly and directly deteriorating the building. Keeping the surface dry and avoid it being in touch with water cannot solve the problem, especially the building outer surface that prone to receive rain water. According to the waterproofing supplier Malaysia, most of the waterproofing issue happens from the foundation. It is the building part that cannot be seen and monitored obviously in majority of the time, what happens underneath the slab cannot be observed neither examined from time to time. For instance, the soil will always absorb water whenever possible, and will cause the foundation to be surrounded with wet soil. Waterproofing supplier in Malaysia claims that wet soil will swell and lose strength if the waterproofing job of the foundation did not carry out seriously.
Furthermore, water passage in the concrete should be prevented with much attention while the hydrostatic pressure need to treated with some kind and proper resistance level. The treatment mentioned here is for both interior and exterior side of concrete system, waterproofing effort should be done too at the underneath and top side. There are several layers and method to apply the waterproofing, including the membrane sheet on the surface side in which it receives or may in touch with incoming water and chemical. Waterproofing supplier Malaysia does also encourage to enhance the protection by putting in waterproofing solution into the concrete infill, known as admixture besides the external side of concrete.
Waterproofing Types
There are various kind of waterproofing component types such as liquid membrane, sheet membrane, lining waterproofing, wall putty, plastering material, torch on membrane, injection waterproofing and many more. Regardless of which type of waterproofing material, they shared the same feature, which is resistance to moisture and water. Waterproofing supplier in Malaysia able to offer several kind of material types such as mastic, bitumen, varnish, paint and the application method can be varied too. With the emerging of advanced technology, waterproofing nowadays will be equipped with synthetic resin which can protect substrate from moisture. One of the common types of waterproofing that can be seen in the industry is lining waterproofing. Lining waterproofing has been categorized into 2 major kinds by industry expert, they are lining waterproofing and paintable one. Waterproofing supplier Malaysia who offer the first one is able to achieve cost competitive because it covers from concrete, brick, other substances such as metal. Roofing felt is a good example that falls in this category which presented in sheet or roll form, although it is still possible to install extruded polystyrene (it can be glued to the bitumen mastic either by cold or hot method).
Another type of material is known as liquid membrane, it can be applied to corner and edge such as meeting point of floor and wall as well as planter box, roof, retaining wall or balcony. Waterproofing supplier in Malaysia suggests to use torch on membrane on the abovementioned areas too using gas torch gun, it is highly suitable to be installed on large surface that is flat, especially huge project to achieve economies of scale. Another injection waterproofing is also common to be seen, applying it using injector to form a waterproofing barrier membrane between wall, ground, foundation, cold joint for the sake of improving bearing capacity and get rid of leakage. There are also simple waterproofing materials such as wall putty, plastering where these products are durable and able to resist high level of chemical, mechanical, physical and damages brought by weather. Last but not least, waterproofing supplier Malaysia does provide excellent water resistance material that capable to penetrate the concrete building and fill up the porous properties.
