Commercial Under Tile and Wet Area Waterproofing
Long-Term Waterproofing
Effective bathroom waterproofing and wet area waterproofing are essential in commercial environments to prevent water ingress, structural damage, and the growth of mould and mildew. Whether you’re working on large-scale commercial projects, multi-residential developments, or public facilities, a reliable, compliant waterproofing system is crucial for long-term performance.
At LRM Products, we specialise in providing commercial waterproofing solutions tailored for wet areas. Our advanced membranes are designed to deliver superior protection under tiles and other resilient floor coverings, meeting the highest technical standards while offering ease of application and durability.
Why Waterproofing is Essential for Commercial Wet Areas
In commercial environments, wet areas—such as bathrooms, locker rooms, kitchens, and balconies—are constantly exposed to moisture. Without a robust waterproofing system, water penetration can cause extensive damage, including:
Structural degradation due to prolonged moisture exposure.
Mould and mildew growth, impacting air quality and hygiene.
Costly repairs resulting from failed or inadequate waterproofing.
A high-performance waterproofing system must address key factors, including:
Substrate Compatibility
Adherence to a variety of surfaces like concrete, fibre-cement sheets, and structural plywood.
Moisture Resistance
Providing a complete moisture barrier to prevent water penetration.
Movement Tolerance
Accommodating structural shifts and substrate movement without cracking.
Long-Term Durability
Delivering consistent protection in demanding, high-traffic areas.
Accreditations
Meeting Industry Standards and Compliance
LRM’s VersEseal IWP 100 has been rigorously tested and approved to AS 4858:2004 – Wet Area Membranes (Class III), and meets the requirements of AS 3740:2021 – Waterproofing of Internal Wet Areas, ensuring compliance with Australian standards for reliable commercial wet area waterproofing.
Selecting the Right Waterproofing System for Wet Areas
When planning bathroom waterproofing and wet area waterproofing, several factors should guide your system selection:
1. Surface Preparation
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and sound. Apply either the VersEseal Porous Primer for porous surfaces or VersEseal Non Porous Primer for non-porous surfaces to optimise adhesion.
2. Membrane Quality
Use VersEseal IWP 100 a Class III waterproofing membrane with excellent adhesion, flexibility, and rapid cure times.
3. Application Method
Apply the membrane in multiple coats and reinforce critical areas (such as corners and junctions) to ensure complete coverage. See the VersEseal IWP100 TDS for full application instructions.
4. Curing Time
Fast-curing products allow tiling to commence sooner, minimising downtime and accelerating project timelines.
