WATERPROOFING - RETAINING WALLS
Murogeopietra® is not a waterproof wall covering, Murogeopietra® has been designed for minimum absorbency and maximum breathability features, however the installation base must be prepared correctly to prevent water seeping into walls.
Murogeopietra® Installation can leave a multitude of wipe marks that are not visible to the naked eye; consider the dry-stack or semi-dry-stack technique in particular - a perfect seal is impossible during grouting.
Retaining walls must be waterproofed on the inside, in contact with the ground, with a layer of tar extending up the full height of the wall. It is advisable to continue until the outside of the wall is reached, working horizontally until the coat is 3/4 the thickness of the wall, in order to also prevent infiltrations near the adhesive behind the wall covering.
