The SikaProof® System offers two methods of installation:
SikaProof® A - the "pre-applied" system, which means that the membrane is installed in the formwork before the reinforcement and concrete is placed. The membrane sheets are available in 1.0 and 2.0 wide rolls with a prefabricated self-adhesive strip. That features recude joints and installation time, what makes the installation more efficient,especially on large areas.
SikaProof® P - the "post-applied" system, which means that the membrane system is installed on the hardened/existing concrete structure. SikaProof® P membrane is a self-adhesive peel and stick system that is installed on existing concrete structures. To create a durable and enhanced bond, use SikaProof® Primer-01 onto the prepared concrete surfaces prior to the self-adhesive SikaProof® P membrane being installed.

FAQ
Pre-applied membranes, such as SikaProof® A+ 12, are installed before concrete is poured, bonding directly to the concrete as it cures. This method is ideal for new constructions. Post-applied membranes, like SikaProof® P-12, are applied to existing concrete structures, making them suitable for refurbishment projects or when access is limited.
Yes, products like SikaProof® A+ 12 and SikaShield® E80 HDPE SA are designed to resist aggressive substances commonly found in natural ground water and soil, ensuring long-term durability and protection for below-ground structures.
Choosing the correct waterproofing membrane depends on factors like application method, structural requirements, ground conditions and project type. For tailored advice and technical support, we recommend speaking directly with a member of our team to ensure the most suitable solution for your project.
Each product has a comprehensive Product Data Sheet (PDS) available on our website. This document provides detailed information on surface preparation, application methods and other essential product information to ensure optimal performance.
