The key function of joint sealing is to minimize water ingress and create a secure waterproofing barrier. The mechanical load that may be applied to butyl rubber adhesives reduces as the temperature increases. Leaks in concrete, masonry and natural stone structures can often be securely sealed and waterproofed by injection. Supplier delivered products can be delivered to mainland UK addresses with some exceptions (such as remote locations) depending on the supplier.

We also supply a wide range of products and tools to help you get the job done with speed and efficiency, without breaking the bank. Due to the nature of concrete and reinforced concrete, structures are built divided into sections by forming joints, namely three types – construction joints, movement joints and connection joints. The full range of hydrophilic (swellable) SikaSwell® profiles, rings, and gun-applied sealants are an efficient solution for construction joints and complementary sealing of penetrations to provide an additional line of protection against water ingress.The appropriate profile can be chosen from the wide range of Sika Waterbar® based on various materials, depending on project requirements. Megatape Waterproof Sealing Tape is a self-adhesive, flexible tape for waterproofing the joints between Tile Backer boards, corners, floor and wall connections.

This relieves stresses due to temperature and shrinkage, which thereby prevents uncontrolled cracking in the wall.The seal must be capable of accommodating the anticipated joint opening and closing due to static reasons or temperature changes. A must have tool to help prevent leaks and water seeping through in your bathroom, shower or wet room.

Waterproof Tape — STS Megatape Self-Adhesive Waterproof Tape — STS

Its flexible construction and self-adhesive property makes it easy to apply and helps to ensure that a fully waterproof finish is achieved in the wetroom. Waterproof concrete is an impermeable concrete used for long-lasting, durable watertight construction. However, to make leaking structures watertight for the long term, it’s essential to select the right injection material. On the basis of our extensive technical and practical experience, we have prepared a guide which will help you choose the optimal injection solution for your project requirements. This Waterproof Joining Tape can be applied on floors and wall edges, and is suitable for repairing, sealing and patching.Water impermeability is determined by fulfilling requirements to limit water permeability through the concrete itself, the joints, installation parts and cracks. This tape is recommended for waterproofing the joints in tile backer board installations in wet or damp areas.

Construction joints are designed to split areas of the structure into separate concrete sections for work scheduling reasons, or as a structural measure to transfer load, for example.Sikadur-Combiflex® SG System or Sika® Dilatec® System are post-applied tape systems adhered with epoxy resin onto the membrane, providing an ideal solution for construction and expansion joints, in particular to seal joints of precast components. Movement joints allow differential movement due to temperature variations and/ or load or settlement in one or more directions of the areas, sections or structures separated by the joint. This makes it much easier to use, as you do not have to apply it with the paint on membrane which can be very messy. Waterbars are the most common waterproof joint sealing solution for construction joints and are mandatory for expansion joints.
