- Easy to Apply: The system can be applied with a brush, roller, or trowel, ensuring a smooth and even coverage over the surface.
Key Features:
- Superior Flexibility: Ardex Superflex WPM 002 maintains its flexibility even after curing, allowing it to withstand minor movement or substrate expansion and contraction without cracking.
- Waterproofing: Provides a robust waterproof barrier, making it ideal for use in wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, and outdoor spaces exposed to rain or moisture.
- Easy Application: This membrane system can be applied using a variety of methods, including brush, roller, or trowel, making it suitable for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.
- High Coverage: The 40kg kit offers high coverage, making it ideal for large areas or multiple applications, such as walls and floors.
- Quick Curing: The product is fast-drying, typically ready for tiling or further treatment within a short time frame, making it efficient for time-sensitive projects.
- Non-Toxic: Being a water-based product, it’s non-toxic and has low odour during application, ensuring a safer work environment.
Applications:
- Wet Areas: Ideal for waterproofing and protecting substrates in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and laundries.
- External Use: Suitable for use on external areas such as balconies, terraces, and patios, providing protection against rain and moisture infiltration.
- Substrate Protection: Provides waterproofing for concrete, cement-based substrates, and timber floors that will be tiled or finished with other materials.
- Under Tiling: Specifically designed to be used under tiles, protecting the surface from moisture and providing long-lasting durability in wet environments.
- High-Risk Areas: Perfect for areas where constant water exposure occurs, like shower recesses, swimming pool surrounds, and areas that need enhanced water protection.
Performance:
- Drying Time: Ardex Superflex WPM 002 typically allows you to tile over the membrane after 4–6 hours of curing, depending on temperature and humidity conditions.
- Coverage: The 40kg kit offers a coverage of approximately 25–30m², depending on the application thickness and surface texture.
- Temperature Range: Best applied in temperatures between 5°C and 30°C to ensure proper adhesion and curing.
- Film Thickness: The ideal application is two coats, achieving a film thickness of approximately 1–1.5mm, ensuring reliable waterproofing.
