KOSTER NB1 Grey - Crystalline Waterproofing System (Negative side)
Introduction:What is negative side waterproofing?
The common issues of the water leakage at the basement / lift pit / machinery pit is the water leak through the wall from the external side into the internal area. In the normal standard of waterproofing treatment, the waterproofing material is should always apply at the surface where it has the direct contact to the water. Whereas, for negative side waterproofing, the waterproofing material is applied at the internal side of the wall to prevent the water leak thru it. Negative waterproofing is useful especially the external side of the wall cannot be reached.
