bitumen mastic is applied to the floor and primed surface of the walls. A roller or special brushes are used. After applying the first layer, wait 4-6 hours and apply the second, moving the brush or roller in a perpendicular direction. The specific consumption of mastic is 2-3 kg/m2. During the drying of the mastic, avoid actions that cause dust to get on it;
cut the roll material into strips of length belize mobile database to the dimensions of the bathroom, taking into account the overlap on the walls;
spread out the first piece of fabric and place it in the correct position, trimming off the excess;
roll the material from both ends towards the middle to form two rollers;
gradually unroll one roller, coating the base in front of it with mastic and rolling the glued part with a roller. Then roll out and glue the second roller in the same way;
If self-adhesive material is used, then as you roll it out, you only need to remove the protective, easily removable film;
the second and subsequent panels are laid in the same way, overlapping the previous one with one edge by 10-15 cm (overlap). The overlap area is carefully glued with mastic and coated with it on top to a width of 8-10 cm. Thermoplastic materials (PVC and TPO membranes) are welded using a special device. Test welding is carried out on scraps in advance in order to select the optimal parameters - temperature and heating time. The result is checked by a tensile test: with correctly selected parameters, the material breaks outside the seam;
the corners between the floor and the walls are glued with strips of roll material 30-35 cm wide. The edge of the strip 10 cm wide is laid on the floor, the rest is placed on the wall;
a thin screed is laid on the floor over the waterproofing barrier. Wooden walls above the roll material are treated with a hydrophobic impregnation and finished with moisture-resistant plasterboard;
ceramic tiles are laid on the walls and floor. To prevent the cladding from being destroyed by the movement of the wooden base, elastic moisture-resistant tile adhesive on a polyurethane base is used.
The joints between the tiles are filled with moisture-resistant grout with a bioprotective additive (fungicide). Epoxy grout has the greatest moisture resistance, but in this case it is not advisable to use it.

The material is expensive, difficult to work with and is intended only for surfaces with frequent direct exposure to water. In the bathroom, cement grout mixed with latex instead of water will suffice.

It is appropriate to consider the technology using the example of the popular sealant paste based on polyurea resin Hidroflex (TM Litokol), the advantages of the product:
