Frequently asked questions about the Base coatings category
What are base coatings and what are they used for?
Base coatings are roll-type waterproofing materials (e.g. FOUNDATION COVER 400 gr/m2) used to protect the foundation plinth from moisture and mechanical damage. They are laid on a prepared surface and fixed mechanically or with mastic before plastering or cladding.
What sizes and weights are available for base coatings?
The range includes GUTTA rolls at 400 gr/m2 in 1x20 m, 1.5x20 m and 2x20 m sizes, plus a 2000 mm profiled edge strip. Choose the roll width based on how much of the plinth you need to cover.
How does SOKLIKATE GUTTA PROFIIL 2000MM differ from FOUNDATION COVER 400 gr/m2 rolls?
The PROFIIL 2000MM is a 2 m profiled edge strip for finishing the plinth edge, while the 400 gr/m2 FOUNDATION COVER is a roll-type waterproofing for covering the plinth surface. The profile is used alongside the roll to create a neat, protected edge.
How should the plinth surface be prepared before laying FOUNDATION COVER 400 gr/m2?
Clean the surface from dust and loose material, repair cracks and level as needed. Prime if required and allow to dry before fixing the roll mechanically or with mastic according to instructions.
Can base coatings be installed under plaster or tiles?
Yes, GUTTA 400 gr/m2 rolls serve as a waterproofing layer under plaster or facing tiles. Once the roll is fixed and sealed, you can proceed with plastering or tiling using appropriate adhesive and finishing systems.
How to cut and join 400 gr/m2 roll base coatings?
Cut the roll with a sharp knife or scissors using a straightedge. Overlap joints by about 10–15 cm and seal with mastic or hot welding depending on the material type.
Are GUTTA 400 gr/m2 base coatings suitable for outdoor use in local climate?
Yes, GUTTA 400 gr/m2 is designed for external plinth waterproofing and tolerates normal rain and freeze–thaw cycles. Proper surface preparation and installation considering local conditions are essential.
What is the roll coverage and how many rolls per linear metre are needed?
Roll widths of 1.0/1.5/2.0 m determine coverage: a 1 m x 20 m roll covers 20 linear metres without overlaps. Allow 10–15% extra for overlaps and cuts when calculating required rolls.
Can I combine base coatings of different widths for an uneven plinth?
Yes, you can combine different widths (1x20, 1.5x20, 2x20) to cover complex plinth shapes. Ensure 10–15 cm overlaps at joints and thoroughly seal seams with mastic.
What tools and materials are needed to install VUNDAMENDIKATE GUTTA 400 gr/m2?
You will need a sharp knife, metal straightedge, roller/brush for mastic, mechanical fixings, and mastic or bitumen for sealing. A primer may be required to improve adhesion.
