EPDM waterproofing with floating floor

In the landscape of waterproofing technologies, Hidrostan EPDM membrane stands out as a versatile and reliable solution capable of adapting to a wide range of applications. One of the most innovative and effective uses of this membrane is in the ballasted laying system with a floating or raised floor. This methodology, characterized by "dry" laying, that is, without the use of adhesives or mortar, offers numerous advantages, making it an excellent choice for various building contexts.

Advantages of Ballasted Laying with Floating Floor

  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: One of the main benefits of ballasted installation with a floating floor is the significant reduction in maintenance costs. Floors are often subject to thermal expansion, which can cause cracking and structural damage over time. With this solution, thermal stresses are optimally managed, reducing the need for frequent and costly interventions.

  • Waterproofing Membrane Protection: Hidrostan EPDM membrane remains protected from adverse weather conditions due to its raised installation. This additional layer acts as a shield against wear and tear caused by weather such as rain, snow, hail, and UV rays, extending the service life of the membrane and improving the overall performance of the waterproofing system.

  • Flexibility and Adaptability: The flexibility of Hidrostan EPDM membrane allows easy installation and adaptability to any site configuration. This feature is particularly useful in complex projects, where the versatility of the material can make the difference between a successful and problematic installation.

Procedure for Laying Supporting Feet

Before proceeding with the installation of the paving support feet, it is essential to carry out a preparatory operation to ensure the stability and efficiency of the system. This operation consists of cutting out EPDM discs to be glued under the supports. This additional step provides a stable and secure base, improving adhesion and load distribution, and further contributing to the durability of the floating floor.

Waterproofing membrane Hidrostan EPDM, combined with a ballasted installation system with a floating or raised floor, is a state-of-the-art solution in the construction industry. The combination of reduced maintenance costs, protection against weather and ease of installation makes this methodology a winning choice for those seeking efficiency and longevity in their construction work. Investing in innovative technologies such as Hidrostan EPDM means choosing quality and safety, ensuring excellent results over time.
