Owned by a local
family and recently the subject of a substantial home improvement
investment, the property standing in an acre of grounds included a natural
well. A third of the property sat below ground and to allow
the use of these rooms for family living a solution was needed to keep the
water out.
Ronafix was used,
applied as a waterproof tanking render and also a two coat flexible
waterproof slurry on to concrete walls, engineering bricks and house
bricks.
Ronafix has been
awarded four Agrément Certificates, one of which specifically endorses
and confirms its use for such waterproofing applications. It is a
single part modified styrene butadiene liquid additive for cement mortars
which enhances physical and chemical properties, allows mortars to be
placed in thin section, provides waterproofing and resistance to frost and
promotes adhesion to building surfaces.
Waterproofing has
been carried out over an 18 month period and the rooms are now decorated,
occupied, and dry.
