What is Bathroom Tanking?
Bathroom tanking is a specialised waterproofing technique designed to safeguard your bathroom against moisture intrusion. It involves creating a waterproof barrier within the shower enclosure, around the bath, and on bathroom floors and walls. This protective layer prevents water from seeping into the structural elements of the building, averting potential damage such as dampness, mould, or structural weakening.
Types of Bathroom Tanking
There are various methods of tanking, including:
Liquid Tanking Membranes: These are applied as a liquid and form a waterproof coating once dried.
Sheet Membranes: Flexible sheets of materials like bitumen or synthetic polymers are applied to surfaces.
Tanking Systems: Integrated systems comprising waterproof boards, membranes, and sealants to create a comprehensive waterproofing solution.
Why is Bathroom Tanking Essential?
The bathroom is one of the most moisture-prone areas in a home. Without proper waterproofing, water can penetrate surfaces, leading to damage, decay, and costly repairs. Tanking not only protects the structural integrity of the building but also ensures a healthier environment by preventing mould growth and preserving the aesthetics of your bathroom.
