Triflex BWS Waterproofing system under other coverings Applications Advantages at a glance ■■ Highly resilient with dynamic crack-bridging The Triflex BWS system is full-surface fleece-reinforced. This gives the material a level of flexibility that leaves it unaffected by any movement of the foundation. ■■ Waterproof down to the details The cured waterproofing resin forms a seamless and joint-free surface. Even complex details, such as upturns, can be easily and homogenously waterproofed using liquid applied technology ■■ Alkali- and hydrolysis-resistant Triflex BWS is permanently resistant to alkalis and hydrolysis. Even mineralbased coverings or tile adhesives can be used in direct contact with the waterproofing. It is crucial that construction work of both new and refurbished buildings is reliably waterproofed. Individual requirements in this regard can vary enormously. But one thing they do have in common is the permanent mechanical load of the surface weight of subsequent overlays. Only highquality systems meet the requirements placed on the material. Triflex has more than 30 years experience of using durable waterproofing and coating systems in the world of building refurbishment. Triflex BWS is a waterproofing system that has been specially developed for other coverings. The waterproofing reliably protects the structure against permanent load from heavy overlays and moisture ingress. ■■ Short closure periods Triflex BWS offers much faster curing times than systems made of EP or PUR resins. So that work can continue on waterproofed surfaces after a very short period. ■■ Can also be applied in low temperatures The waterproofing system can be applied in substrate temperatures of down to 0°C. This means that balconies can be refurbished even in the colder seasons. ■■ Surface finishes The Triflex BWS system can be dressed with a variety of other loose or fixed coverings. Liquid applied waterproofing solutions support a wide range of alternatives. Solutions for details and different overlays Due to the minimal structural height of the waterproofing system of just a few millimetres, and its ability to waterproof a wide range of different surfaces homogeneously and seamlessly, Triflex BWS is ideal for complex structures. It can accommodate subsequent surfaces of fixed bonded or loosely applied overlays, as well as light wooden decking or the heavy ashlars used in monument preservation.
