10 Things You Need To Know About Malthoid
Whether you are building a new home or another type of structure, you may have already considered how you will protect your property from natural damages. For example, water damage is one of the most common annoyances to property owners as it can lead to severe property damage. Therefore, many property owners pour a lot of resources into ensuring their properties are well protected from water damage. While there are a ton of products at their disposal, the damp-proof water barrier Malthoid should be at the top of the list. In addition to being reliable, the product is also versatile, as it can be used for a variety purposes. The material has been used on construction sites to seal off roofs, as a damp course on walls, and under water tanks, just to name a few. If you are on the fence of whether the material should be used for your project, here are ten ways you can use the material on your construction project.
1. The Roof
If you are familiar with construction sites, then it is likely that you may have witnessed the material being applied to the roof. The material acts as an additional barrier and layer of protection against water damage on roofing structures. It is recommended that the material be applied in between two elements to prevent moisture transfer.
2. Roof Flashes
In addition to applying the material to the surface of your roof, you may also want to consider applying it to the flashings of your roof. In this method of application, the material can prevent water from penetrating through and creating extreme damage.
3. Walls
Another good use of this material is applying it as a damp-course on walls. Whether your structure has brick or block walls, the material will make a suitable and effective damp-course. Secure your building by preventing excess moisture to cause severe damage to the fabric of your structure.
4. Underwater Tanks
Additionally, the material can also be applied under water tanks. In this application the material will prevent condensation corrosion. While this can save your home from water damage, it will also impact the lifespan of your water heater.
5. Decks
Another way to use the material on your construction project is to apply it as an underlay. On timber decks the material works wonders. Regardless of what type of structure you are building, if you are thinking of adding a deck, your waterproof material may come in handy. The protective elements will save your wood from severe water damage.
6. Floor Screeds
The material is also good for use under floor screeds. In this application, the material creates a reinforced damp proof flooring. Therefore, property owners can rest assured that messy spills or water leaks will not lead to severe damage.
7. Bricks
Property owners can also add a protective layer to their property by adding the material in between layers of bricks. Like other materials used for constructing properties, bricks too can be damaged by an excess of water. Therefore, it is recommended that property owners use this absorbent material to protect their bricks and to prevent them from loosening at a faster rate.
8. Smaller Infrastructures
Additionally, it can be used in the construction of smaller infrastructures. For example, property owners may want to build a detached guest house or a house for their furry friends. While these are significantly smaller structures, it is recommended that a damp-proof material still be used to prevent water damage. Therefore, adding a layer of the material to your small infrastructures can help a great deal in the long run.
9. Insulation
Another way to use this material on your construction site is as insulation. In this method of application, the material is used to insulate wood and other surface materials from water aggression. This occurs through a process called wicking; which uses capillary actions to absorb liquids.
10. Stumps
Last but not least, the material can be used as a protective layer for stumps. Stumps are the basis for your infrastructure’s foundation. As such, every precaution should be taken to ensure little to no damage occurs. Apply the material by adding a small layer around your stumps. The material will absorb any excess water that manages to penetrate through.
