{"title":"Waterproofing Membranes","description":"\u003cp\u003eCreate protective layers in suitable moisture-exposed areas with the Waterproofing Membranes collection at FixTimber. Browse self-adhered sheets, liquid-applied coatings, peel-and-stick membranes, foundation products, deck and balcony membranes, and accessories intended for compatible wood, sheathing, masonry, concrete, and other listed substrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaterproofing membranes vary in thickness, flexibility, reinforcement, adhesion, cure time, crack-bridging ability, temperature range, exposure limits, and permitted installation location. Some products are intended for above-grade walls or exterior details, while others may be designed for foundations, roofs, decks, wet areas, or concealed assemblies. Waterproof, water-resistant, vapor-permeable, and vapor-impermeable products perform differently and should not be treated as interchangeable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConfirm the intended substrate, slope, drainage design, primer requirements, overlap dimensions, termination method, and compatibility with adjoining tapes, sealants, coatings, and flashing. Surfaces generally must be stable, clean, and prepared according to the manufacturer’s directions. Protect newly installed membranes from punctures and do not leave concealed products exposed beyond their stated limit. A membrane cannot correct standing water, missing drainage, structural cracks, active movement, or severely damaged wood. Complex roofs, balconies, foundations, and occupied-space waterproofing may require professional design and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/fixtimber.us\/collections\/waterproofing-membranes.oembed","provider":"FixTimber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
