We had a guest from Grace Construction Products.
His name is Paul Miller who specialize in water proofing.
With his presence there, I learned:
- Water Proofing
- Air Barrier
- Vapor Barrier
- Uses of water proof materials
- How these materials are applied.
From Miller, I learned how water enters the building and how waterproofing helps prevents it.
Although the cements look tough and all, under some circumstances, cracks will be formed in the cement and the rain or water from the exterior could easily invade into these cracks.
So what waterproofing does is, formed a layer between the outside (soil in the picture) and the cement and will prevent the water from entering.
During class, Miller brought in some samples of Grace Products of different kinds.
He explained to us how they are used and what each product role is.
I really enjoyed it because I have to feel the texture of different materials used in the building.
