Description

Construction waterbars, also known as waterstops, are crucial components used in concrete structures to prevent water leakage through joints. Typically made from PVC, rubber, or other flexible materials, waterbars are installed at construction joints, expansion joints, and other points where water infiltration could be problematic. Their function is to create a continuous barrier that prevents water from penetrating the structure, thereby enhancing its durability and longevity. By accommodating movements caused by temperature fluctuations or structural loads, waterbars help maintain the integrity of the construction.

They are commonly used in foundations, tunnels, reservoirs, and other structures where water tightness is essential. Proper selection and installation of waterbars are vital to ensure effective waterproofing and to avoid costly repairs in the future. Available at Gypsum Ceiling Supplies
