Application

  • Suitable for use to waterproof backgrounds such as cement or gypsum plaster, plasterboard or wood-based materials prior to fixing tiles in domestic or commercial kitchens, showers and bathrooms.
  • Suitable for internal areas.

Description

A two-part acrylic, cement based mix. Prevents water from the shower penetrating into the tiled background, which can cause costly damage to adjacent rooms. When cured, the coating is flexible, waterproof and causes no discoloration of the grouted tile joints. Applied in two coats.


The use of timber-based sheets and boards should be avoided if at all possible in wet locations. Ideally, they should be replaced or over-sheeted with plasterboard prior to application. Timber-based sheets or boards are not recommended for use in commercial showers etc.

Concrete floors and cement/sand screeds may also be protected from the ingress of surface water.


Features and benefits:

  • Protects moisture sensitive backgrounds such as plasterboard from moisture ingress.
  • RAPIDRY Formula allows tiling to commence after 90 minutes.
  • Quick and easy to apply with a roller, paint brush or trowel.
  • FREE roller & scrim tape in every box.
  • Adjustable mix consistency suitable for filling holes and gaps, as well as for general application.
