Shower Waterproofing
Shower waterproofing must be carried out to a standard set by the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards (AS 3740-1994).
These standards state that:
- In the shower, the whole floor must be waterproof and the shower walls should be waterproofed up to 1800mm.
- The walls need to be waterproofed up to150mm.
- If the bathroom floor is made of or contains wood or if the bathroom is on the second story or higher, the whole floor must be waterproofed.
- Over the step down to the floor should be waterproofed to 100mm.
These are the minimum standards required but many householders choose to waterproof the area around their bath, vanity and toilet.
Shower Waterproofing FAQ’s
Shower waterproofing is the process of applying a protective layer to the shower area to prevent water leakage. This is critical as it protects the structural integrity of your bathroom and home, preventing costly damage caused by leaks.
It largely depends on the quality of the initial waterproofing and the usage of the shower. However, it is recommended to have a professional inspection every five years to ensure everything is in good condition.
This can vary based on the size of your shower and the specific work needed. However, it generally takes a few days for the process to be completed and fully cured.
