How to use Aquaplan Basement Coating
Follow these easy steps to waterproof your basement without hiring a contractor. While many waterproofing methods exist, this one is particularly straightforward, offering both control and peace of mind. Ensure the substrate is thoroughly prepared by removing dust or grease, as these affect the effectiveness of waterproofing. Sealing any cracks with water pressure stops also greatly enhances results. Lastly, apply two crossing layers of Basement Coating. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, stir again, and apply. This DIY approach will save you money without compromising on quality. Whether you're renovating or updating your space, save time, effort, and funds by following Aquaplan’s trusted steps to waterproofing today!
What is the coverage per m²?
The application process is simple yet immensely effective when done correctly. Don’t forget that Aquaplan Basement Coating requires two crossed layers with coverage between 1.5–2 kg/m². This results in a layer thickness of at least 1mm, ensuring your basement looks and functions like new. Remember to moisten the substrate before use and opt for a specialized basement brush for better control and application. Thanks to Aquaplan’s low consumption—just 1.5 to 2 kg/m²—DIYers can carry out the task efficiently and affordably. This means a 5 kg tub will cover approximately 7.5 m² (1 layer).
