How to Use Polyester Linoleum Base Mat: A Step-by-Step Guide

 

Weifang Guanlong Waterproof Material Co., Ltd is based in Weifang, China and was established in 2005. The company focuses on manufacturing waterproofing materials with a bitumen modification technique. One of their flagship products is the Polyester Linoleum Base Mat, which is a robust and reliable substrate for waterproofing membranes.

What is Polyester Base Mat?

Polyester Base Mat, as other non woven polyester reinforced fabrics, acts as a reinforcement in waterproofing systems that incorporate bitumen. Due to its high tensile strength, stability, and flexibility, it can be used in roofing, basements, and even in industrial foundation structures.

Tools & Materials Needed

  • Polyester Linoleum Base Mat

  • Modified bitumen adhesive (SBS or APP)

  • Roller, utility knife, gloves

  • Cleaning tools (brush, broom)


Surface Preparation

Before installation, ensure that the substrate surface is:

  • Clean and dry

  • Free of dust, oil, and debris

  • Smooth and even — repair cracks or level uneven spots if necessary


Installation Process

  1. Measuring Templates Marking and Cutting

Unroll and cut the Polyester Linoleum Base Mat to the required length, making sure to leave an overlap of at least 10 cm for seams.

  1. Adhesive Application

Apply with a brush or roller a modified bitumen adhesive at a uniform layer. Ensure that the adhesive has been applied uniformly and covers all the surfaces.

  1. Mat Placement and Rolling

Place the base mat on the adhesive layer and adhere to the surface starting from the center towards the edges while applying even pressure to avoid formation of wrinkles or air bubbles. Ensure that the roller also applies adequate pressure to secure bonding.

  1. Seam Overlapping and Sealing

Adjacent sheets should be overlapped by 10 cm. Apply additional adhesive to these overlap regions and ensure that they are rolled so that they form a waterproof seal.

  1. Curing and Inspection

Allow full adhesion for at least 24 hours and inspect for bubbles, wrinkles, or loose edges and make the necessary repairs.


Storage & Handling

  • Store in a dry, shaded, and well-ventilated area

  • Keep rolls flat and avoid moisture exposure

  • Ideal storage temperature: 5°C–35°C


Conclusion

The Polyester Linoleum Base Mat plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance and lifespan of waterproofing systems. Its flexibility, durability, and ease of application make it a preferred choice for modern construction projects. For optimal results, follow the guidelines above and consult with certified waterproofing professionals when necessary.
