Sanitary and tiles

To avoid damage in the bathroom caused by cracks in the perimeter joints, it’s crucial to ensure shower trays and bathtubs are properly sealed. After all, their joints have to go the extra mile, especially in places where different components meet. As well as water, heat and aggressive cleaning agents, movements from the individual pieces also demand a great deal from the sealants in wet spaces. To ensure that moisture and dirt don’t stand a chance, the sealants used should have an outstanding grip while being smoothable and easy to apply. Because water only runs off properly on smooth surfaces with a concave shape. We also recommend paying attention to the silicone’s colour as well as its properties. After all, a bathroom should combine both function and aesthetics in equal measure. 

In areas that regularly come into contact with water, the sub-floor must be properly and durably sealed before the flooring is laid. If this isn’t the case, moisture and humidity can spread unnoticed, resulting in expensive structural damage. Professionally sealing bathrooms and lavatories is a multi-faceted job that necessarily involves carrying out multiple tasks and using various materials. To achieve 100% waterproof results, it’s pivotal to ensure that the primer, waterproofing slurry and supplies are a perfect match.

It’s hard to imagine a bathroom or lavatory without tiles. And that should come as no surprise – as well as being hard-wearing, long-lasting and easy to clean, tiles also deliver an impressive visual impact thanks to their versatility. Detailed planning and picking the right tool are key to ensuring that tiles provide a strong hold despite heavy stress and strain from factors such as moisture, heat and chemicals. For great results that last, it should be possible to apply the adhesive quickly and to different materials, even in difficult conditions.
