SEMCO Liquid Membrane Window Box Waterproofing

GUIDE TO HOW TO WATERPROOF A WINDOW BOX

To waterproof a window box effectively, especially in a regions with high humidity ,a lot of rain fall or where water intrusion is a concern, using the right materials and methods is crucial. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to waterproof a window box using SEMCO's Liquid Membrane:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure that the surface of the window box, whether it's wood, concrete, or another material, is clean and free of any debris or loose particles. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or dirt.

  2. Apply the First Coat: Using a brush, roller, or spray gun, apply the first coat of the SEMCO Liquid Membrane to the surface of the window box. Ensure thorough coverage and work the membrane into any cracks or crevices. Pay special attention to seams and joints where water intrusion is more likely.

  3. Allow Drying Time: Let the first coat of the SEMCO Liquid Membrane dry for the recommended time, typically around 1 hour, or as specified by the manufacturer. This allows the membrane to penetrate into the pores of the surface and create a strong bond.

  4. Apply the Second Coat: Once the first coat is dry, apply the second coat of the SEMCO Liquid Membrane in the same manner as the first coat. Again, ensure thorough coverage and pay attention to any areas that may need extra protection.

  5. Final Inspection: After applying the second coat, inspect the waterproofing job carefully to ensure there are no missed spots or uneven coverage. Touch up any areas if necessary.

  6. Allow Curing Time: Allow the SEMCO Liquid Membrane to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before exposing it to water or other elements. This curing time ensures maximum effectiveness and durability of the waterproofing.
