Water insulation

The process done in interior, exterior, roof and foundations of the buildings to prevent them from taking in
water, for the purpose of keeping buildings comfortable and durable for a long time period are called
“water insulation”. Insulation of wet surfaces, may cause water leak points if the water insulation not
merge with drain’s insulation. Water that leaked to buildings, corrode the fittings in bodies, load bearing
systems of buildings and decreases load bearing capacity of the building. It also causes, distortions in the
main load bearing systems of the buildings thus causing cracks and breaks in the slightest earth activity or
earthquake. Furthermore, water permeation causes the malicious yeast, fungi, efflorescence, darkening
and formation of other organic materials creating risks to the buildings and human health.

With the improvements in construction techniques, liquid (plastered) or laid insulation materials are using
in insulation on wet surfaces. Sukar with the experience of years and expertise on insulation, made its R&D
works on all possibilities about insulation and applied them on all products with water insulation that Sukar
produced.

Insulating water supply pipes in exposed areas of your home is a good idea for several reasons. In cold-
winter climates, water supply pipes that are exposed to exterior walls or unheated spaces may freeze,
burst, and flood your home. More than one northern family has gone south for a winter vacation, only to
return to a months-long cleanup and restoration job when a single water pipe bursts. Insulating water pipes
is a key element to any efforts to winterize the plumbing in the home.

Insulating water pipes can also save money on energy costs by preventing hot water pipes from losing their
heat to the surrounding air. Insulating the hot water pipes leading out of your water heater, for example,
can reduce heat loss and lower the costs of heating the water. Finally, insulating cold water pipes can
prevent the pipes from sweating due to moisture condensation, which can reduce humidity levels in the
house in the summertime.
