Frequently Asked Questions – Poseidon Liquid Waterproofing Membrane
1. What is Poseidon and how does it work?
Poseidon is a polymer-based, liquid-applied waterproofing membrane designed for bathrooms, wetrooms, and steam areas. Applied by spray, roller, or brush, it dries into a seamless, flexible vapour block that prevents leaks, mould, and water damage before tiling.
2. Why choose Poseidon over traditional tanking systems or sheet membranes?
Unlike rigid tanking boards or sheet membranes that can split, crease, or leave gaps, Poseidon forms one continuous, joint-free barrier. This makes it faster, easier, and more reliable than tapes, boards, and sheet-based waterproofing systems.
3. Is Poseidon suitable for Passivhaus or Net Zero projects?
Absolutely. Poseidon’s airtight, vapour-blocking technology makes it ideal for energy-efficient and low-carbon buildings. By preventing moisture build-up behind finishes, it protects insulation and airtight layers — essential for Passivhaus, Net Zero, and retrofit projects.
4. Where can Poseidon be used?
Poseidon is perfect for:
-
Bathrooms and wetrooms (walls, floors, shower areas)
-
Steam rooms and spa facilities
-
Behind tiles in showers, baths, and splash zones
-
Retrofit projects, applied onto substrates such as concrete, plasterboard, cement screeds, and existing tiles
5. Do I need a primer before applying Poseidon?
Yes — in certain cases. For moisture-resistant plasterboards, dusty surfaces, or substrates with reduced adhesion, we recommend first applying Supergrip Primer to ensure maximum bonding strength. On clean, sound surfaces such as concrete or brick, Poseidon can usually be applied directly.
6. How long does Poseidon last once applied?
Once cured, Poseidon creates a permanent, flexible waterproofing membrane that lasts for the life of the tiled system. It won’t crack, peel, or deteriorate like older methods.
7. Can Poseidon be applied over existing tiles?
Yes. Poseidon can be applied directly to Supergrip applied over existing wall and floor tiles, making it ideal for retrofits and refurbishments where stripping back isn’t practical.
8. How quickly can I tile over Poseidon?
After Poseidon has fully cured (typically within 24 hours depending on humidity and temperature), you can tile directly over it — keeping your project on schedule.
9. What tools do I need to apply Poseidon?
Poseidon can be applied with a paint brush, roller, or spray machine. Surfaces must be primed where necessary and prepared properly for reliable adhesion.
10. Why is Poseidon the best waterproofing for bathrooms and wetrooms?
Poseidon is trusted because it combines:
-
Seamless liquid membrane — no weak spots
-
Proven primer system (Supergrip) for maximum adhesion
-
Rapid application and cure times
-
VOC-free, eco-conscious formulation
-
Reliability for new builds, retrofits, Passivhaus and Net Zero construction
With Poseidon, you’re not just waterproofing your bathroom — you’re guaranteeing long-term protection, airtightness support, and energy efficiency.
