Superseal Waterproofing Membranes and Subfloors

More and more builders in new home construction and renovations projects are installing a subfloor under or over existing concrete floors. Not only does a subfloor raise the value of your home but it also improves the basement living space. When starting the installation of a new laminate, tile, hardwood, plywood, or any other type of floor on concrete, you can skip traditional concrete basement subfloor methods. Typically in the past, builders would install plastic sheeting and fasten wood slats on the concrete and cover with plywood. After a period of time, basement moisture would absorb into the insulation causing mould and mildew, creating an unhealthy environment. SUPERSEAL subfloor products absorb moisture and separate the flooring finishes away from the concrete floor.

Regardless of the type or how you build a concrete foundation, the most common problem facing homeowners and contractors is a concrete foundation crack. A concrete foundation crack is perfectly normal as 66% of all concrete foundations crack within the first year. The major reason for cracks is concrete shrinkage and settling. A foundation is under enormous pressure from the earth and hydrostatic headwater pressure from the water in the surrounding soils. Your waterproofing material must protect any potential cracks in your foundation for many years to come. SUPERSEAL Dimpled Membrane comes with a 40 year warranty. It bridges the typical wall crack with ease; never allowing the backfill material to touch the foundation. It also leaves an air gap between the membrane and the wall, allowing the foundation to breathe and drain away any water into the perimeter drain. SUPERSEAL dimple membrane is packaged in various roll sizes to fit your needs.

SUPERSEAL tile subfloor is specifically designed to replace underperforming traditional tile floor application methods.  It separates your tile subfloor from the substrate base by blocking moisture, delimitation, and cracking from entering the new floor above. Faults from expansion and contraction in the base are virtually eliminated. In addition,   SUPERSEAL tile subfloor can have the tiles installed immediately after installation, making it easy and cost effective to install your new flooring.

SUPERSEAL Dimpled Membrane provides the maximum protection for your insulated concrete forms and is fast becoming the preferred choice. Spray on waterproofing may require a protection board on the ICF due to its softness. Without a protection board, the spray on coating could be damaged from backfill. In addition some coatings can literally eat the foam due to their solvent nature. When you’re waterproof your ICF with SUPERSEAL you can be assured it won’t damage the foams integrity as it is made from tough, long lasting plastic. It can be fastened to any type of foundation without the need of coatings in any weather condition.

R-value insulation ratings are used to measure the insulations ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the more effective it is. House insulation should be purchased based on its R-value, not thickness or weight. Protecting your house insulation and keeping your R-value high is extremely important. Water is one of the biggest concerns in regards to R-value and house insulation. If moisture/water gets into your house insulation, it lowers the R-value. The moisture will weigh down the insulation leaving gaps and bare spots.
SUPERSEAL Dimpled Membrane provides a permanent barrier against water/moisture from entering your home. It protects your house insulation and its R-value by helping keep your home dry and healthy.
