THERMOPAL system 3: The classic system - Retroactive basement restoration with cementitious waterproofing slurry for substrates that are not at risk of cracking
Key Facts
Areas of application
- Converting living and basement spaces
- Restoring usable areas
- Salt-loaded surfaces
- Damaging plaster surfaces due to hygroscopic damp
- Interior and exterior areas
Properties
- Manual and mechanical application
- High salt storage capacity
- Vapour permeable
- High area coverage
1 Substrate preperation
- Remove the plaster from at least 80 cm beyond the damaged area.
- Scrape crumbly and salt loaded joints out to at least 20 mm deep.
- Use ESCO-FLUAT to convert sulphate and chloride salts from salts that dissolve easily to salts that are difficult to dissolve.
- Use ASOCRET-M30 to compensate for joints and voids.
- Use ASOCRET-M30 to insulate the existing horizontal barrier and locking groove in the wall-floor transition.
- Use ASOCRET-M30 to implement a sealing groove in the floor-wall transition.
2 Producing the horizontal damp proof barrier
- Use AQUAFIN-F to create a retroactive horizontal barrier.
- Use ASOCRET-M30 to seal the drilled holes again.
3 Interior waterproofing
- Apply AQUAFIN-1K as retroactive interior waterproofing with cementitious waterproofing slurry. Three layers in the event of pressure water.
4 Restoration plaster system
- For improved adhesion, apply the THERMOPAL-SP splatterdash coat over the complete area.
- Use the THERMOPAL-SR24 restoration plaster to plaster the wall surfaces.
- THERMOPAL-FS33 can be applied as a finish if fine plaster is required.
