EuroFix Waterproofing Compound
Ready-to-use elastomeric liquid waterproof membrane — flexible, crack-bridging and directly tileable
Description
A ready-to-use flexible waterproof membrane based on elastomeric acrylic dispersions, applied by brush or roller in two coats to form a continuous, seamless, water-sealing and crack-bridging membrane. Designed for wet and submerged areas such as bathrooms, balconies, kitchens and roofs, it can be tiled over directly with EuroFix flexible adhesive. Certified to EN 14891.
Fields of Application
- Bathroom and kitchen floors/walls before tiling
- Balconies, terraces and exposed roofs
- Pool basins and water tanks (under tiling)
- Splash zones and commercial kitchens
- Under flexible tile adhesive in wet areas

Surface Preparation
- The substrate must be sound, clean, level and free of dust and oils.
- Fill cracks and voids and form falls towards the drains.
- Prime absorbent surfaces with EuroFix Primer before waterproofing.
- Reinforce corners, joints and drains with flexible sealing tape.
Application Method
- Stir the product well before use, undiluted.
- Apply the first coat by brush or roller with full, gap-free coverage.
- Embed reinforcing tapes at corners and joints into the wet first coat.
- Let the first coat dry 4–6 h, then apply the second at right angles.
- Allow the membrane to cure fully before water-testing or tiling.
- Tile over directly with EuroFix flexible adhesive C2/S1.

Comparison vs. Ordinary Site Mix
| Criterion | Ordinary Mix | EuroFix |
|---|---|---|
| Continuity | Bitumen/cement with weak seams | Seamless continuous membrane |
| Flexibility / crack-bridging | Rigid, cracks with movement | Elastomeric, bridges hairline cracks |
| Tileability | Bitumen won't accept direct bonding | Directly tileable over |
| Ease of application | Needs heating/skill (sheet rolls) | Simple brush or roller |
| Cleanliness & odour | Bitumen, strong odour and messy | Water-based, clean, low odour |
Consumption & Cost
Waterproofing costs very little against the damage it prevents; a leak from a poorly sealed bathroom or balcony means ruined ceilings, neighbouring walls, paintwork and possibly wiring, with repair bills many times the price of the membrane. EuroFix's elastomeric compound forms a seamless continuous film that bridges hairline cracks and stays flexible with building movement — unlike rigid bitumen and cement that crack at the joints. Being directly tileable saves extra steps and layers. It is a cheap insurance policy against the most common and disruptive kind of damage.
