Reinforced Polyester Mat vs. Felt: Which One is Right for Your Project?
Reinforced Polyester Mat and Reinforced Polyester Felt are widely employed in waterproofing and construction materials, specifically in roofing as well as insulation systems. These Defintions of A and B sound alike, but differ greatly in both their features and applications. This blog will highlight their differences so you may select the building materials wisely. What […]
Embedding Fiberglass Mesh in Waterproof Coatings
Ensure thorough cleaning to eliminate contamination and drying of the surface before substrate preparation for waterproofing. Proper adhesion with the surface is achieved when there are no defects. A high-quality shield and fiberglass mesh combination creates a waterproof barrier preventing cracking and damage. Waterproofing is more effective when multiple coating layers are evenly applied and […]
Compound Base Mat in Waterproofing: Usage & Benefits
What Is a Compound Base Mat? A compound base mat is formed by molding several base layers together, foam non-woven fabrics or mats made of polyester and glass fiber, and usually set with bitumen, polymers, or asphalt for enhanced waterproofing properties. The “compound” part refers to its layered structure which is balanced to tackle tensile […]
The Ultimate Guide to Reinforcement Mats in Bitumen Membranes
In roofing and waterproofing systems, the reinforcement mat (also called carrier or base mat) is a critical component that impacts the longevity and efficiency of membranes. This guide analyzes and synthesizes three types: Compound Base Mat, Spunbond Polyester Mat, and Polyester Mat, and outlines recommendations for selection based on requirements, material properties, and industry benchmarks. […]
Polyester Mat vs. Non-Reinforced Membranes
The construction industry has undergone immense changes and advancements throughout the years, but self-adhesive polymer-modified bitumen waterproofing membranes are gaining traction for a different reason. The rising popularity of polymer modified bitumen waterproofing membranes stems from their flexibility during application, strong adhesion properties, as well as being eco-friendly. In addition, polymer-modified bitumen membranes have become […]
Why are non-woven fabrics often used in waterproof construction?
In waterproofing construction, a small, seemingly inconspicuous item is often used but plays a significant role — compound base (non-woven fabric reinforcement layer). Why is a compound base used in waterproofing work? What function does it serve? People make the compound base, also known as non-woven fabric, needle-punched cotton, etc., from oriented or randomly arranged […]
Enhancing Basement Waterproofing with Compound Base Mat
For homes near groundwater sources or in regions with consistent rainfall, waterproofing the basement is crucial. Existing methods have limitations, such as ineffectiveness, lack of resilience to harsh environments, or being overly simplistic to install. Recently, the CBM(Compound Base Mat) or Compound Base Mat has emerged as a more sophisticated modern option which improves the […]
Importance of Substrate Selection: Compound Base Mat for Waterproofing Membranes
The substrate beneath a waterproofing membrane plays a crucial role in the overall performance and durability of roofing waterproofing systems. Selecting the right substrate material is essential to prolong the lifespan of the waterproof membrane and ensure reliable protection against moisture intrusion. 1. Understanding the Role of the Substrate The waterproofing membrane is applied over […]
