Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about selecting waterproofing systems and products for bathrooms, showers and other internal wet areas.
A complete bathroom waterproofing system may include surface-preparation products, primer, bond breakers, waterstops, reinforcing details, a suitable waterproofing membrane and compatible tile adhesives and sealants. The required products depend on the substrate, shower design, penetrations and other project conditions.
The appropriate membrane depends on the substrate, expected movement, application method and complete system requirements. Rather than selecting a membrane in isolation, it is important to use compatible primers, detailing products, adhesives and sealants designed to work together.
Consider the substrate, shower configuration, drainage, penetrations, expected movement and final floor and wall finishes. Bayset offers different systems for frameless showers, enclosed showers, acoustic applications and vinyl wet areas, with technical advice available for project-specific requirements.
