Clear Waterproofing Membrane is originally developed for remedial works in wet areas and balconies, but in trying to find the products limitation we recognized the great potential it has for other applications, beyond its original purpose.
Wallpaper has been around for years and recently has come back in with the cutting edge full wall murals, look alike’s and edgy patterns and with the use of Clear Waterproofing Membrane we take these memorable designs and take them into new areas without changing their look.

Coverage
Clear Waterproofing Membrane is a two part waterproofing system and for vertical wallpapered applications a 1:4 ratio is suggested (Part2:Part1). For instance 500ml Part 1 would require 125ml of Part 2, Part 2 is an adhesion promoter which increases the membrane thickness for ease of application to reduce visible runs in the product.
As there is no trafficability for vertical surfaces only a thin coat of the membrane is required to seperate the water from the wallpaper. A good estimate would be 4m2 for every 1ltr of Part 1 (which also includes 500ml Part 2)
