BAL Waterproof 1C passes EAD certifi cation for NHBC tanking regulations
B
AL Waterproof 1C – the one-coat ready-mixed
waterproofi ng system from the market-leaders in tiling
solutions – has received EAD certifi cation for use on NHBC-approved housebuilding sites. From January 1st 2025, NHBC the
UK’s leading provider of warranty and insurance
for new homes in the UK
implemented new requirements for their members. This will mean that any new house in the UK that is built (foundations laid from 1st January 2025) will require tiling in wet areas to be tanked with an EAD certifi ed system to receive warranty and insurance, if they are tiling: 1. Shower over bath OR shower with shower tray, with standard fl ow rate <12 litres/min – when the substrate manufacturer’s guidance advises a tanking system is still required, or has not passed NHBC Table 2 assessment requirements.
2. Any shower over bath OR shower
with shower tray, with a fl ow rate >12 litres/min.
3. Any wet room (fully tiled wall and fl oor, shower area).
To remain compliant, only suitable NHBC accepted products which form a watertight covering for walls and fl oors should be used. BAL Waterproof 1C has been rigorously
tested and adheres to all NHBC regulations, crucially receiving EAD certifi cation ETA 24/1129 to comply with NHBC specifi ed standard EAD 030352-00-0503. BAL Waterproof 1C offers a number of benefi ts over other EAD-certifi ed waterproofi ng systems and is also certifi ed with a full BAL tiling solution as part of EAD testing requirements. BAL Waterproof 1C is a cost-effective ready-mixed solution – which means no additional mixing is needed on site – and can be used on most common substrates without priming. It is ready to tile after only 2 hours,
meaning jobs can be completed sooner. Formulated with fi bre-strand technology for improved strength, it can be applied in one- coat on walls (ensuring 0.8 mm thickness) and fl oors (ensuring 1.6 mm thickness) with a brush, roller or 4 mm notched trowel. This innovative new product is lightweight with easy-to-apply rheology and provides excellent coverage of up to 6 m2 – making it suitable for a standard domestic shower room, bathrooms or wetrooms.
