The term tanking refers to the application of a bonded membrane to a substrate which will prevent the passage of ground water i.e. waterproofing/preventing the entry of water from surrounding ground into a building below ground level.
Hey’di K11 tanking produces a waterproof slurry coating preventing both damp and water penetration. The chemicals in the slurry react, penetrate and fill off or block the capillaries, bonding onto the prepared surface, forming a strong monolithic bond enabling it to resist hydrostatic pressure.
Tanking will prevent any further contamination to the wall plaster and stop any moisture from rising up and damaging the internal finishes by providing a barrier between the brickwork and the new plaster finish. This will significantly prolong the life of the new internal finish but will still allow the wall to breathe so the moisture can evaporate from the structure.
