SEALING SYSTEM GROUND-LEVEL ELEMENTS
Waterproofing floor-level elements is challenging, as transitions to windows and doors are susceptible to moisture. Flexible materials such as sealants and sealing tapes ensure protection.
Whether cavity-wall installation solutions, ETICS constructions or monolithic construction - it all depends on the right planning. The cavity-wall construction method harbours a high potential for damage if not carried out correctly. In particular, the connection of the waterproofing to the side frame surfaces often proves to be a critical detail if, for example, the facing brickwork is almost completed before the door or window elements have been installed. There are various ways of solving this challenge. One reliable and safe SCHOMBURG solution, which we present below, involves inserting the door and window elements before the brickwork is completed. This ensures a seamless connection between the building waterproofing and the frame.

Waterproofing ground-level elements in double-facade wall structures is a special challenge for planners and the workers implementing it. The fact that waterproofing also involves a variety of professions is also difficult. The AQUAFIN sealing system, which consists of a variety of highly elastic joint tapes combined with AQUAFIN-RB400 flexible cementitious waterproofing, enables the particular element to be reliably waterproofed within the context of alternating materials.

Application
1. Wall-base slab connection waterproofing The first application step is to apply waterproofing with AQUAFIN-RB400 until up to the front side of the concrete base slab.
2. Install ASO-Joint-Sealing-Tape2000-S While the first application step with AQUAFIN-RB400 is still wet, ASO-JointSealing-Tape-2000-S is installed at an angle free of voids. Joint adhesion is always applied with an overlap of 5-10 cm.
3. Install wall edge insulation strips Next, the wall edge insulation strip is installed or fastened in the area of the window soffit using AQUAFIN-RB400.
4. Ground-level element assembly Installation and stabilisation of the ground-level element is completed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Horizontal feature waterproofing Fasten ASO-Connector-Joint-Sealing-Tape after removing the separating strip by pressing on the installation element and the insulation strip. The joint tape is adhered to the substrate using AQUAFIN-RB400.
6. Vertical feature waterproofing ASO-Connector-Joint-Sealing-Tape is fastened on the installation element as described in step 5. The joint tape is also adhered to the substrate using AQUAFIN-RB400.
7. Protection against back floating possibility In order to avoid back floating possibility, the area of the previously completed joint tape application and the corner of the insulation strip are secured by installing ASO-Joint-Tape-2000-S-Corner. AQUAFIN-RB400 is used for adhesion.
8. Installation in waterproofing After installation of feature waterproofing, joint sealing tapes in the area of the base waterproofing are coated in two layers with AQUAFIN-RB400.
9. Completely applied wall structure After completely drying the base waterproofing, the insulation and facing structure is completed.
