warmup DCM-PRO WATERPROOFING SUBMITTAL SHEET
Installation
There are instances where waterproofing will be required, such as in wetrooms, where there will be significant exposure to water. If using a proprietary waterproofing system, a leveling compound should first be laid over the Warmup DCM-PRO system to provide a finished surface to install over. Follow the steps below when using the Warmup DCM-PRO waterproofing products to waterproof the installation:
- Cut the perimeter strip to the same level as the DCM-PRO mat.
- Apply a suitable waterproof 3/8″ layer of thin-set to the mat, walls, and penetrations through the mat, 4″ on either side of the joint, ensuring there are no gaps or voids.
- Cut a length of Warmup waterproof tape to suit and press into the thin-set along the wall perimeter using a trowel, removing any air gaps or creases.
- Reapply the removed portion of the perimeter strip over the top of the Warmup waterproof tape flush with the floor.
- To waterproof the joints between mat runs and over the cable joints, apply a 3/8″ layer of waterproof thin-set, 4″ on either side of the joint, making sure the cavities of the mat are fully filled.
- Cut a length of Warmup waterproof tape to suit and press into the thin-set using a trowel, removing any air gaps or creases taking care not to damage or dislodge the cable.
NOTE: Where joints are required, overlap the tape by 4″ bonding the two lengths together with a layer of thin-set.
NOTE: At the manufactured joint, the termination joint or anywhere that you have damaged or pierced the mat, cover the penetration with a 3/8″ layer of thin-set and cover with Warmup waterproof tape.
