If you choose low-quality waterproofing materials during renovation, or if the waterproof layer is not properly applied, it can significantly affect your daily life or work. Walls may become damp and develop mold, with some areas showing water stains and peeling paint. In severe cases, parts of the wall may erode, exposing the cement beneath, and tiles may fall off entirely. Cracks may appear at the top of the walls, with newspapers stuffed in between as a temporary fix.
A local merchant introduced three types of waterproof coatings to reporters: polyurethane waterproof coating, priced at 300 yuan for 20kg; acrylic waterproof coating, at 230 yuan for 20kg; and JS waterproof coating, available for 180 yuan for 20kg. When comparing the samples, their elasticity and flexibility varied noticeably. One merchant advised that when purchasing on a large scale, it's better to avoid well-known brands, as they are more likely to be faked. With high demand comes a higher risk of counterfeit products. Similarly, SBS waterproof membranes sold in the market also face serious issues with fake versions.
Mr. Chen, an architectural designer, explained that one major challenge in controlling building waterproofing quality is subcontracting, which often leads to poor construction outcomes. Additionally, some bidding companies prioritize cost-cutting over quality, using the "lowest price bid" strategy. This can lead to the use of substandard materials, increasing the risk of hidden defects in the project.
The quality supervision department advises consumers to carefully read product instructions before purchasing and using waterproof materials. Understanding the intended application and scope of use is essential to selecting the right product for the job. Avoid products with rough packaging, misshapen containers, or unclear instructions. It’s best to buy from official stores or supermarkets to ensure authenticity and reliability. Always do your research and don’t compromise on quality—your home deserves the best protection.
