BATHROOM DESIGN & BUILD
Many waterproofing products are not designed to freeze until mixed and cured. Ardex 8+9, Hydro Ban, Red Guard etc. So how do you ship something and make sure it does not freeze? Good question.
I have two boxes of Ardex 8+9 that needs to get shipped up to Terrace, B.C. Shipping these two boxes is only $45.00 and the estimated time is 2-3 days. What I worry about is how it's stored. If it goes by plane. If the temperature drops and the product freezes it might be a total disaster.
To cover my bases I just order some of these little guys.
The plan is to make a simple box like a beer cooler and crack on of these 72+ hour UniHeat warmers and mail it off. Sounds like a solid plan. Sounds too easy.
What am I missing?
Working these might be the perfect thing for the pick up truck as well. When your out and about. I might design a storage box in the back of my truck so I do not have to transport my waterproofing materials in and out of the cold daily. A $6.00 investment that might save $10,000.00 one day!
Roberto - RSCB - Do you have any insight into your safe guards with these shower waterproofing products. It's getting chilly. Over night lows are dropping. Time to safe guard against mishaps I think.
I have another client in Ottawa who is building a large curbless shower. We tried to find Ardex 8+9 in Ottawa and there is none for sale. Closest location is Toronto. I'm told by the Ottawa Ardex rep that the distributor there is familiar with shipping glues and adhesives in cold weather. So that is one way to be safe. Ship via a proper outlet which uses heated trucks.
Something you might not think about - unless you are as paranoid as me.
