Waterproofing and Tiling Standards

The Waterproofing and Tiling set provides key guidance for waterproofing external above ground structures and internal wet areas.

Waterproofers, tilers and related service providers, plus designers, engineers, manufacturers, construction workers and inspectors, will find the standards included useful from planning stage to maintenance.
