Waterproofing

Products Used

  • FreedomTuff 6160 Epoxy Primer
  • FreedomTuff 2190 Polyurea
  • FreedomTuff 4000 Polyaspartic

Project Overview
In 2017, the Orange County Sheriff’s needed to waterproof the inmate showers. Most of the showers were elevated and over occupied spaces that required a flexible and robust waterproofing system. Furthermore, when installing systems in a jail setting, special consideration must be given to the inmate’s ability to remove the protective coating and use it as a weapon, making a flexible system better than a rigid solution.

Application
The IPW team first prepped the tile using power tools, removing the glaze and providing a profile to ensure adequate adhesion. Next, they applied the FreedomTuff 6160 primer at 8–10 mils, followed by spraying the FreedomTuff 2190 SealFlex at 80–100 mils to provide a robust waterproofing membrane. To finish, the FreedomTuff 4000 Polyaspartic was applied at 14–16 mils with a light broadcast of non-skid added to the floor to meet ADA Slip and Fall requirements.

Results
Initially, the sheriff’s department was considering a very rigid glass-reinforced system to waterproof the showers. However, it was decided that a polyurea system would provide the long-term durability and protection needed without the concern of potential removal or misuse by inmates.
The performance of the Polyurea system exceeded expectations. As a result the polyurea flooring was used at Musick jail where 90,000 square feet of inmate barrack flooring and showers were coated by IPW in 2019.

It was really fun getting to know the team during the project. They were all helpful in answering my questions and made me feel completely at ease. The design ended up being twice as good as I could have ever envisioned!
