LATICRETE Hydro BAN® Easy to Apply Anti-Fracture Liquid Waterproofing and Crack Insulation Membrane, 1 Gallon Pail

This is so far the best water proofing membrane I used. Really love it. Very easy to install just need brush and roller. If you got your hands dirty just wash with the water very and I mean very easy to clean. Very nice coverage. I used three coats on the bathroom shower area with size 3x5 and it was enough for to bathrooms. Stick very well after drying, looks like you installed a rubber mat. And tile mortar grabs really hard. Great product again. Maybe cost more but worth every penny.

I'm building a 3x4x8 shower in my basement. I used the Laticrete pre-formed tileable shower pan/curb (which are made of a dense foam), along with one of their wall inserts.This stuff goes on great. Simply put in a paint pan. Use a brush for the corner areas then use a roller for the rest. Goes on like a thick paint. You don't even have to stir it! Super easy to apply.I used a little over 1 gallon to do my shower. It does need two, decently thick coats. I did not need to paint the floor/curb/wall insert as they already come pre-coated in this stuff, but did a coat on the floor anyway to fix any nicks along the way.The first coat you can still see through in spots. The 2nd coat (which I did 2 hours later) really dried to a very uniform setup.For the cost and ease of use, I can't imagine using some of the other products out there. This works, just use it and be done!

I’ve been a General Contractor for over thirty years, and Hydroban is the best waterproofing membrane I’ve used. I’ve also used Redgard, Laticrete 9235, Aquadefense, and sheet membranes (Schluter/Kerdi) - and Hydroban beats them all for ease of installation and performance. I use reinforcing fabric at the shower pan, around the drain, in the corners, and at wallboard joints for peace of mind. Using the fabric increased dry times significantly, but I sleep well knowing the shower is bulletproof. Worth every penny - look no further.

Has a little thicker consistency, making it easier to work with. Covers well and leaves a nice covering. Would recommend.

This is the perfect waterproofing material. One major advantage over Redgard is that it won't bleed thru marble on the walls of a shower. This is a most important factor.

This product is a great product to install, and is very solid is like a hard plastic after it dries up, haven't pour water yet in my shower because I have to let the sealer cure but I hope it doesn't leak wish I'm not expecting that, just wanted to say so far I'm happy with the product, and thank you amazon into next time. God bless.

I see no value in having to return an OPENED bucket of HYDROBAN, arrived damaged and Unacceptable amount of Product was Pooled around the bottom of shipping container. Maybe a third of the gallon was wasted.I had to drive my return 60 miles to the Nearest UPS store, no Gas Rebate. There was a LEAKING mess to clean up. Not only a waste of my Time and Money. I will say the Adhesion was good, all slopped about and it was Thick and sticky.This is Not a product endorsement. I would hope You would Steer clear of making a purchase.

This stuff is incredible. I used 2 gallons to completely waterproof my tub surround up to the ceiling. The tile & mud wall I tore out was leaking, so I wanted to make the new one bullet proof. The nice thing about a surface membrane like Hydro Ban is that any water that gets behind the tile is stopped before it gets into the cement board. This can be of benefit on a heavily-used shower that doesn't get a lot of time to dry out between uses. Strongly resists the musty smell that can occur when a shower is always wet.I especially liked that it bonds to the plumbing and tub flange. I was able to easily waterproof the stub out for the tub spout and there is a continuous waterproof barrier all the way down the walls and onto the tub deck. For best results, use the reinforcing fabric in the corners, between cement board and tub, & around plumbing cutouts. Even though Laticrete says Hydro Ban can span gaps up to 1/8", it's cheap insurance against a future leak and really strengthens the waterproofing job.
