Basement Waterproof Paints and Treatments

Damp, dark and dank is the description of many industrial and domestic basements. They are often large spaces that in their present condition serve no purpose. In fact they can even devalue the property. However underground rooms and cellars can be transformed into stylish living space, storage rooms and workshops quickly and easily. Simple methods can turn basements into bedrooms using waterproof paints and polymer cement coatings.
For example Thoroseal Super is an extremely durable waterproof coating for masonry and concrete. It is easily applied by brush to prepared surfaces providing a highly resistant barrier to water penetration. It is suitable for both internal and external use, above and below ground level. Its high bond strength ensures long life even when subjected to high water pressure.
