In Australia, waterproofing guidelines are set by the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards (AS-3740 1994). This ensures that waterproofing is carefully regulated for safety and to prevent the deterioration of buildings due to insufficient waterproofing.
Usually, waterproofing is installed during the construction phase using a membrane within the bathroom. It is then protected using liquid sealants on tiles and the floor. Finally, a silicone sealant is used to close gaps where the floor and walls are joined.
In Queensland, work must be carried out by a Queensland Building and Construction Commission licensee who can issue a Form 43 for the work completed. Waterproofing is part 16 of this form. Fraser Coast Waterproofing can issue the required Form 43/16.
