Today there are many materials for construction, but recently, bitumen mastic has gained great popularity, which is perhaps universal material for processing coatings.
If we talk about its features, then here, first of all, it is worth noting that you can work with this material at temperatures from -5 to +40 degrees.
Any surface that is treated with such mastic has the best operational properties. As for the consumption of this material per square meter, it is approximately 0.8-1.8 kg. It should be noted that the material quickly grasps the base, and for its complete solidification 3-4-x hours.
There are several types of application of such mastic:
hot use;
cold use using solvents;
cold use using the water base.
Moreover, the most common type of use of such material is precisely the first type. In this way, bitumen waterproofing is carried out. To create it, you need to warm up the mastic to 180 degrees, and then cover it with the base that needs to be isolated. After that, you need to wait a while, and a very strong and elastic coating is formed. Bitumen mastic for the foundation and for waterproofing pools is also suitable.
If you want to finish the foundation of your home, then here this material will also be useful to you. It is necessary to warm up the mastic to 160 degrees again, and then apply it to the foundation with a small layer. For more protection, it is worth carrying out such a procedure several times. And after that you can plaster the base, or to install tiles.
