External waterproofing in contact with the ground with Remmers International Guarantee
RIG – The best solution for professionals
Fast and easy application as well as a high level of safety along with short waiting times are the most important aspects that a modern sealing system must fulfil. The Remmers MB 2K system meets all these requirements.
In combination with the Remmers International Guarantee (RIG), we not only offer the best possible product system for waterproofing structures with ground contact, but also double the security.
And the biggest advantage for the specialist firm performing the work Is that the 10-year system guarantee is exclusive to the developer and thus offers a considerable competitive advantage.
1. Preliminary work
Chamfer the edge of the projecting foundation. Remove any components that could impair adhesion.
2. Levelling
Seal uneven areas and defects > 5 mm with WP DS Levell. Pre-wet highly absorbent substrates with water.
3. Priming
Apply an even layer of Kiesol MB. Pre-wet highly absorbent substrates with water. Leave out levelled areas.
4. Rear moisture protection
Apply an even layer of WP DS [basic] with a slurry brush to protect against backfacing water.
5. Sealing cove
Apply a sealing cove of WP DS Levell to the wet backfacing water protection and use a profiled trowel to profile in a radius of 50 mm.
6. Priming
Apply an even layer of Kiesol MB. Pre-wet highly absorbent substrates with water. Leave out levelled areas.
7. Scratch coat
Apply a scratch coat of MB 2K.
8. First waterproofing layer
Evenly apply the first waterproofing layer of MB 2K.
9. Second waterproofing layer
As soon as the first waterproofing layer of MB 2K is dry enough to resist damage, apply the second layer.
10. Thermal insulation
Once sufficiently dry, bond the thermal insulation over its entire surface area using MB 2K or 2K Remmers PMBCs.
11. Protecting the waterproofing
Installation of DS Protect up to ground level.
Plinth waterproofing in compliance with the standards
Faster, better, safer
In order to prevent the capillary absorption of moisture by render, the lowest edge of a wall base render with ground contact must be sealed to at least 50 mm above the upper edge of the ground. This protective measure, which Remmers has been championing for years, is one of the areas of application that can be carried out with crack-bridging mineral waterproofing slurries in accordance with the regulations since July 2017. On the product side, the multifunctional building waterproofing MB 2K is the top performer in this case. The material is UV-stable, weather-resistant and can also be painted over with binder-rich emulsion paints, such as Remmers Color PA, without any problems.
1. Preliminary work
Chamfer the edge of the projecting foundation. Remove any components that could impair adhesion.
2. Priming
Apply an even layer of Kiesol MB. Pre-wet highly absorbent substrates with water. Leave out levelled areas.
3. Scratch coat
Apply a scratch coat of MB 2K.
4. Embedding the joint tape
Apply MB 2K in the internal corner area and embed tape from the Tape VF series while still wet.
5. First waterproofing layer
Evenly apply the first waterproofing layer of MB 2K.
6. Second waterproofing layer
As soon as the first waterproofing layer of MB 2K is dry enough to resist damage, apply the second layer.
7. Thermal insulation
Once sufficiently dry, bond the thermal insulation over its entire surface area using MB 2K or 2K Remmers PMBCs.
8. Reinforcement layer
Apply VM Fill to the thoroughly dried waterproofing and embed reinforcing fabric Tex 4/100.
9. Finishing render
Apply a thin layer of VM Fill rapid to the reinforcement layer and smooth off.
10. Render waterproofing
Seal off the plinth render with MB 2K so that the pores are closed. Apply the waterproofing material to at least 50 mm above ground level.
11. Protecting the waterproofing
Installation of DS Protect up to ground level.
Waterproofing the base of facing masonry shells
For base waterproofing in double-skin masonry, the application of liquid-applied waterproofing materials such as PMBCs or crack-bridging MDS was not clearly regulated until very recently. With the entry into force of the new national regulations, the above-mentioned product systems, which have proven themselves in practice for many years, are now covered by the standards. Thanks to its unique performance, the universally applicable waterproofing product Remmers MB 2K also scores highly in this area.
Not only does MB 2K meet the specifications for crack-bridging mineral waterproofing slurries (PG MDS), it also has more than three times the compressive strength required for PMBCs. MB 2K is also very easy to process and can be applied as a slurry or with a trowel. In combination with the non-woven laminated joint tapes of the Tape VF series, this system solution is extremely easy to use, practical and, as of July 2017, compliant with the standards.
