Best Waterproofing with Sika 1, Sika Lite 101, Sika 107, and Sikalastic 510 – Ultimate Guide & Demonstration Welcome to our ultimate waterproofing guide using four of the most trusted Sika products in the construction industry: Sika 1, Sika Lite 101, SikaTop 107, and Sikalastic 510. Whether you’re a professional contractor, civil engineer, or DIY enthusiast, this video is your one-stop solution to understanding how these products work, where to use them, and how to apply them correctly for long-lasting protection against water ingress. In this video, we cover everything you need to know — from surface preparation and mixing ratios to live demonstrations of real-world applications on roofs, walls, basements, bathrooms, and concrete structures. Let’s break down what you’ll learn and explore each product in detail. Section 1: Introduction to Waterproofing Waterproofing is a crucial part of construction. Moisture and water intrusion can damage structural integrity, promote mold growth, and lead to costly repairs. Sika, a global leader in chemical construction materials, offers a wide range of waterproofing solutions to protect different surfaces — and in this video, we’ll demonstrate four of the most effective options: Sika 1: For use in Damp proof course for water proofing Sika Lite 101: Ideal for plastering and roof pouring SikaTop 107 Seal: A two-component waterproofing slurry for external/internal applications on DPC, water tanks and roofs Sikalastic 510: A flexible polyurethane-based liquid-applied membrane, perfect for exposed roofs and terraces and it gives you both waterproofing as well as heat proofing Section 2: Product 1 – Sika 1 Waterproofing Admixture Purpose: Waterproofing additive for cement mortars and concrete How Sika 1 Works: Sika 1 is a liquid waterproofing admixture that, when mixed into mortar or concrete, blocks capillaries and pores. It’s used to create watertight and is used in DPC and plasters. This product is ideal for integral waterproofing, making the material itself resistant to water rather than just the surface. Application Steps: Surface Preparation: Ensure the concrete surface is clean and roughened for good adhesion. Mixing Mortar: Use the specified ratio of Sika 1 with sand, cement, and water. Section 3: Product 2 – Sika Lite 101 Purpose: Crystalline waterproofing additive Best Used For: Water tanks Foundations Substructures Areas with high hydrostatic pressure How Sika Lite 101 Works: This is a powder additive that reacts with water and cement to form crystals that block micro-pores and capillaries. The unique self-healing crystalline technology helps seal minor cracks over time, maintaining long-term waterproofing integrity. Application Steps: Mix Design: Blend Sika Lite 101 into the concrete mix during batching. Application: Use as part of the concrete structure, such as floor slabs or foundation walls and in plasters Curing: Proper moist curing is essential to activate crystalline growth. Advantages: Permanent waterproofing solution Internal and self-sealing capability Resistant to aggressive water environments Reduces water permeability up to 90% Section 4: Product 3 – SikaTop 107 Seal Purpose: Two-component cementitious waterproofing slurry What Makes It Special: SikaTop 107 is a flexible, brushable slurry composed of cement and polymer components. It’s ideal for areas that experience slight movement or require a smooth, seamless finish. Application Steps: Mixing: Combine both components as per manufacturer instructions until a lump-free slurry is achieved. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is damp and clean. First Coat: Apply evenly using a brush or roller. Second Coat: After 4–6 hours, apply a second coat in a cross-direction to the first. Curing: Keep it moist for several days to allow full bonding and flexibility. Sika Lastic: You can apply it as you apply paint and can be used on roof top or on any wall where you need both waterproofing and heat proofing web: http://gharplans.pk/ Facebook:   / gharplanspk   twitter:   / gharplanspak   Pinterest:   / gharplanspakist   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gharplanspk...
