Palais Royale Project Overview and Challenges:
The Palais Royale luxury residential project faced challenges related to the waterproofing of wet areas, podiums, swimming pools, and balconies.
The need for a reliable and effective waterproofing solution in these critical spaces prompted the selection of Sunanda Global’s polyurethane base primer and liquid applied polyurethane waterproofing and sealing membrane.
Product Selection and Application for Palais Royale project:
The project opted for a polyurethane base primer for the primer application, specifically designed for seamless and watertight protection in various zones. This solution, easily applied with rapid curing capabilities, ensured a quick and reliable application process.
Sunanda Global’s liquid applied polyurethane waterproofing and sealing membrane’s adaptability to diverse surfaces drove the choice of the project contractors.
This solution provided a strong, thick, and flexible membrane, eliminating the need for a reinforcing layer.
The liquid application allowed for a seamless waterproofing finish, a significant advantage over traditional sheet-type membranes.
Surface Preparation:
The success of the waterproofing application relied heavily on meticulous surface preparation.
The team followed a stringent process, removing loose material, grease, and oil through grit blasting or suitable mechanical methods.
The contractors observed a curing period of at least 28 days for new concrete surfaces before applying the primer and waterproofing membrane.
Priming and Coating Application:
The contractors uniformly applied Sunanda Global’s polyurethane base primer, known for its UV resistance and rapid application, to the prepared surface.
This step ensured optimal adhesion between the coating and substrate.
Following this, they applied Sunanda Global’s liquid applied polyurethane waterproofing and sealing membrane in two coats, providing a robust defense against water penetration.
Advantages of Sunanda Global’s PU Waterproofing for the Palais Royale project:
The chosen solutions demonstrated several advantages throughout the application process.
The contractors adequately prepared the substrate for the subsequent waterproofing membrane due to the seamless and watertight properties of the polyurethane base primer.
As a one-pack system with no mixing required, the liquid applied polyurethane membrane streamlined the application process, resulting in significant labour cost and time savings.
Versatility and Adaptability:
The versatility of the selected solutions was evident in their adaptability to different surfaces and challenging conditions.
The waterproofing membrane, with its rubber-like finish, provided excellent flexibility and chemical resistance.
The application of the membrane in wet areas, podiums, swimming pools, and balconies showcased its adaptability to diverse project requirements.
Conclusion:
The Palais Royale luxury residential project in Mumbai is a testament to the success of Sunanda Global’s polyurethane base primer and liquid-applied polyurethane waterproofing and sealing membrane.
The project team navigated challenges seamlessly, ensuring the longevity and durability of critical spaces within the luxury residential complex.
The innovative waterproofing solutions not only met but exceeded expectations, emphasizing their effectiveness in diverse construction scenarios.
The strategic use of polyurethane base primer and liquid applied waterproofing membrane showcases a commitment to quality, efficiency, and sustainability in modern construction practices.
