Customer Reviews
FEIYANG did offer their professional services and products to us. That is why we have had a long-term and stable business with them for several years. Nowadays, we are more like partners instead of just one of their distributors. Also, I hope we can expand markets in the future together.

—— USA Distributor

Feiyang is a reliable supplier, not only their product quality but also their professional technical support and service. We have done business together for six years already, which contributed to the growth of our business from nothing to several containers annually. We are so happy and lucky to have Feiyang as our partner.

—— European Distributor

We are very happy to be one of Feiyang's distributors in Australia. They are pretty nice supplier. They always do their best to meet our requirements. Our customers also trust Feiyang's high-quality product and out-standing service. Looking forward to developing more business together.

Rigid vs. Flexible Waterproofing: Is There a Material That Combines Both?

Description

When it comes to waterproofing, two concepts often come to mind: rigid and flexible waterproofing. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages, which can make the selection process quite challenging. Sometimes, the choice must be tailored to different areas, which can be time-consuming and laborious.

 

What are Rigid and Flexible Waterproofing?

Rigid Waterproofing

As the name suggests, rigid waterproofing relies on the material's density and strength to prevent water ingress, lacking elasticity. The materials used are typically cement and sand, or they may include polymers and a few additives. By adjusting the mix or reducing porosity to enhance compactness, a cementitious concrete with certain impermeability is created. In essence, this waterproofing method employs mortar or concrete. However, when the waterproof layer is subjected to tensile forces beyond its tensile strength (including substrate settlement deformation, thermal deformation, etc.), the rigid waterproof layer can crack and lead to leakage.

Pros: Readily available materials, aging resistance

Cons: Heavy, limited by room structure, prone to cracking due to brittleness.

Flexible Waterproofing

Flexible waterproofing materials typically refer to asphalt, felt, etc., known professionally as felt roll waterproofing layers. These are roll materials with a base layer of felt, glass fiber fabric, or other fibrous textiles, bonded at the waterproofing site with various adhesives or asphalt to form a waterproof layer. It can stretch and expand under external forces, preventing cracking within its elastic range.

Pros: Crack-resistant, lightweight, high elongation, easy to apply

Cons: Prone to aging, shorter lifespan, high technical requirements for application, potential for leaks at joints.
