Wet Areas & Bathrooms
Liquid-applied waterproofing under tiles in bathrooms, kitchens and wet rooms — thin, seamless and sealed at every corner and drain.
One System, Built to Work Together.
Wet areas fail at the details: corners, pipe penetrations and drains. Liquid-applied bituminous coatings wrap all of them seamlessly, curing into a continuous membrane that tiles bond to through the adhesive bed.
Insuguard and Insucoat emulsions roll onto prepared substrates in two coats, sealing floors and lower walls before tiling — the standard protection under every bathroom that stays dry.
- Bathrooms and shower rooms
- Kitchens and laundry areas
- Balconies before tiling
- Plant rooms and service areas
- Swimming pool surrounds

Layer by Layer.
- 01
Substrate Preparation
Surfaces cleaned and repaired; falls checked toward the floor drains.
- 02
First Emulsion Coat
The first coat works into corners, penetrations and the floor-wall junction.
- 03
Second Emulsion Coat
Applied perpendicular to the first for a continuous, pinhole-free film.
- 04
Tile Adhesive Bed
Cement adhesive bonds directly over the cured waterproof coating.
- 05
Tiling & Grout
The finished surface, sealed at joints and around every fixture.
01Seamless at the Details
Liquid application wraps corners, drains and pipes with no cuts, laps or weak points.
02Thin Build-Up
Millimetres of coating protect the room without raising floor levels or door thresholds.
03Fast Between Trades
Roller-applied coats fit the fit-out schedule — tiling follows as soon as the film cures.
04Tile-Ready Surface
Cement adhesives bond straight onto the cured coating for a fully bonded floor.
