Renovating a bathroom is an important project that requires good thought and considerable financial resources. Replacing plumbing, sanitary ware and ceramic tiles is just one part of the story. The second part, but no less important, is the waterproofing of the bathroom.

Waterproofing is essential in order to prevent the penetration of water and moisture into the floors and walls of our home, thus preventing damage to the building and preserving its aesthetic appearance. Lifting parquet or falling off parts of plaster, putty and paint from the walls testify to the lack of waterproofing or its poor performance. The most effective principle is to prevent the penetration of water into the layers of screed and walls by installing waterproofing under the final coating, most often made of ceramic. With this method of insulation, waterproofing coatings are regularly used, to which the final coating is glued directly.

Use of waterproofing coating

DRACO LASTIC 150 is a new highly flexible, two-component waterproofing coating. It is the optimal choice for waterproofing bathrooms. It is resistant to standing water, low and high temperatures and to continuous thawing and freezing cycles. It is characterized by quick and easy application, as well as adhesion to all types of materials used in construction. It is very important to note that DRACO LASTIC 150 can be applied, for example, to existing ceramic tiles, ie it is not necessary to break them before installing the waterproofing, which greatly facilitates and reduces the cost of repair. In addition, the new ceramic tiles are glued directly to the DRACO LASTIC 150.

It is important to note that the substrate must be prepared so as to remove any impurities and loose parts. All irregularities should be smoothed with repair mortar. If the substrate is porous, it should be moistened, but there should be no lying water.

When the substrate is prepared, it is necessary to mix both components of the DRACO LASTIC 150 waterproofing coating using a drill with a mixing attachment.

When insulating larger floor surfaces, it is necessary to make a full-surface reinforcement so that the DRACO BAND 220 reinforcing fabric is immersed in the first layer of coating.

Completely performed waterproofing of wet nodes ensures their long-term carefree use.

DRACO waterproofing systems are designed precisely to make your facilities safe and comfortable to live in.

When building a new or renovating an old bathroom, we pay the greatest attention to the aesthetic and visible part, such as tiles, furniture or a shower cabin. At the same time, we forget about the importance of hidden components that do not serve us in everyday use, such as installations and waterproofing. Just as it is important that all pipes are installed correctly and well so that they do not crack later, it is also important to properly protect your bathroom from water and moisture to which it is exposed on a daily basis.

A quality waterproofing solution for bathrooms and toilets prevents the passage of moisture into the structure and its appearance in other rooms of the building.

Implementation of polymer-cement waterproofing

The most effective prevention of water penetration into the layers of screed and walls is achieved by performing polymer-cement waterproofing before coating with ceramics. DRACO LASTIC 120 is a two-component cement-based waterproofing coating modified with polymers with the addition of fine-grained aggregates. The product is suitable as a waterproofing coating for application under ceramic tiles bonded with glue. Together with the sealing tapes it forms a complete waterproofing system.

Za bolju adheziju premaza, podlogu je moguće dodatno ojačati i stabilizirati prajmerom DRACO PRIMO 100. Premaz se na kritičnim mjestima spoja zida sa zidom i poda sa zidovima ojačava ugradnjom visoko elastične, brtveće trake DRACO BAND 100 koja se utapa u prvi sloj premaza, a drugim se prekriva u potpunosti.

For better adhesion of the coating, the substrate can be additionally strengthened and stabilized with DRACO PRIMO 100 primer is completely covered.

The damage that can be caused by water and moisture on the building is really great, and the repair is expensive and complicated. In addition, it often involves breaking tiles, moving elements in the bathroom, and similar interventions that further slow down and complicate the remediation process.

Use only quality materials and pay the waterproofing the attention it deserves. DRACO waterproofing systems are designed precisely to keep your facilities safe and comfortable to live in.

Saunas no longer considered to be a luxury, as we can all have them, if we have enough space for them. There are many variants of their construction, often separate rooms are built or they are placed in one of the rooms of the house. When choosing any of the options, the question arises – how to insulate a steam room, and at the same time protect the walls of the bathroom from moisture?

The sauna area, which includes a dry sauna, steam sauna, showers and other wet rooms, is subject to various loads. Waterproofing and cladding systems must therefore be adapted to the load area. Based on the high moisture load in the steam sauna, the waterproofing and cladding system must additionally satisfy the function of the steam dam.

DRACO waterproofing coatings

DRACO LASTIC 150 is a highly flexible, two-component cement-based waterproofing coating modified with an emulsion of acrylic polymers with the addition of fine-grained aggregates.

It is resistant to standing water, low and high temperatures and to continuous thawing and freezing cycles. It is suitable for insulation of bathrooms, wellness, balconies, terraces, parking lots, swimming pools, cisterns, foundations and other building structures and expansion joints. Due to the above characteristics, it can be used as a waterproofing coating in saunas.

As part of this system, it is recommended to use the DRACO PRIMO 100 primer, which penetrates deep into the substrate and thus strengthens it. It enables better adhesion of polymer cement coatings to the substrate.

Pay attention to waterproofing and make sure your saunas remain waterproofed and safe to use for many years to come.
