- Self-adhesive waterproofing membrane from the DURABASE WarpSeal system, ETA tested
- No mixing, no adhesive application, no drying time: tile straight away
- 1 m wide, available in rolls of 5, 10 or 30 m
Waterproofing without bucket and trowel
With conventional liquid waterproofing, you mix, apply, wait and apply a second coat. The WS membrane does away with this: you spray the substrate with spray primer WS, roll out the membrane and press it on. An adhesive strength of more than 20 t/m² ensures a firm bond with the substrate. There is no mixing mess and the site stays clean. And because nothing needs to dry, you can continue with the tiles right after waterproofing. Especially in bathroom renovations in occupied homes, this often saves a whole day.
Quieter too
The 0.8 mm polyethylene membrane does not just waterproof, it also improves sound insulation by up to 11 dB. This is particularly noticeable in apartment buildings and in bathrooms above living spaces.
Installation at a glance
After the primer, the moulded parts for corners and pipe penetrations go on the wall first, followed by the sealing tapes in the wall to floor transitions. Only then are the membranes applied. Each new strip overlaps the yellow edge strip of the previous one, so all joints are overlapped. Any edge strips still exposed at the end are covered with fleece strips. The surface is then ready for tile adhesive and tiles. The detailed manufacturer's installation instructions (PDF, German) show every step in detail.
How much do I need?
As the membrane is 1 m wide, the roll length equals the area: 5 m covers 5 m², 10 m covers 10 m² and 30 m covers 30 m². Allow some extra for cutting, joints and connections. For wall to floor transitions, skirtings and bathtub edges, the WarpSeal system offers matching self-adhesive sealing tapes, which you will find in our category Self-adhesive waterproofing.

Regardless of whether it is a smooth or uneven surface, thisself-adhesive sealing membraneprovides a reliable seal.
Here's how to install our self-adhesive WS sealing membrane:
- Prepare the substrate:
In the first step, the surface to which theself-adhesive sealing membraneThe surface to which the product is to be applied must be cleaned of dirt and dust. The substrate is then sprayed with the primer. Use a little more primer for highly absorbent substrates. Leveling measures must be completed beforehand. - Attach shaped parts such as corners and cuffs:
After the substrate has been properly prepared, the necessary shaped parts are applied first. To do this, simply remove the backing film and press the corresponding shaped part against the wall. Smooth out bubbles as much as possible with a squeegee. - Seal transition and corner areas:
For this purpose, the self-adhesive sealing tape WS is used. Simply peel off the film on the back and use a squeegee or spirit level to press the tape into the corner areas. - Applying self-adhesive sealing membranes:
Now the cut-to-size strips can be... They are applied by first removing the central strip on the back of the sheet. Now align the sheet at the appropriate position. Ensure that the dark yellow areas of the shaped parts are overlapped. Once the sheet is positioned, the film on the back can be carefully peeled off while simultaneously smoothing out any bubbles with a squeegee. Further sheets should always be applied overlapping the dark yellow edge strip of the previous sheet, so that these areas are covered with fleece. - Dark yellow edge stripes withNon-woven fabric stripsto complete:
Before you can start laying the tiles, any remaining dark yellow edge strips must be covered with the self-adhesive strip.
Once the sealant has been completely applied, you can start laying the tiles immediately.
