Solutions for Water Leakage Problems in Your Neighbourhood Mosque

Ensuring that your neighborhood mosque is safe and clean for the community begins with the correct waterproofing method.

A mosque is a holy place of worship that accommodates many worshippers on a daily basis. On top of functioning as a place of worship, mosques in neighbourhoods also serve as safe places for community gatherings and youth activities throughout the year. Thus, ensuring that the mosque is clean and free from water leakage problems by waterproofing the building is paramount to the safety and comfort of worshippers and visitors alike.

Mosques are also considered architectural wonders. In Malaysia, we see an increase in the number of visitors – both Muslims and non-Muslims – at some of the iconic mosques in Malaysia such as the National Mosque (Masjid Negara) in Kuala Lumpur which is considered one of the most beautiful mosques in our country. Hence, it is also crucial to maintain these sacred structures to protect our national heritage.

Maintaining existing facilities is just as important as upgrading them.

Maintaining the waterproofing properties of a building isn’t something that most occupants have on top of their minds when discussing maintenance. For starters, waterproofing is often taken for granted and mistaken as a permanent attribute of a building – and everyone casually assumes that the engineers and architects who built the structure have taken waterproofing into account. 

Secondly, the water damage caused by subtle water leaks behind the walls and ceiling takes a while to become visible enough to notice, in the form of yellow stains, mould growth, warping and bubbling, etc. This is especially common in buildings with poor waterproofing works as the signs of water damage will not appear until months or even years have passed. By the time the stains become noticeable, the damage would have been extensive and expensive to repair.

Peeling Paint Caused By Water Seepage

Neglected waterproofing around the wudhu area in the mosque causes peeling paint on the walls that are not tiled, on the opposite side of the washing area.

As for the facilities in mosques, the ablution area or tempat wudhu has the highest risk of facing water leakage problems due to the very nature and function of the room in which it was built for.

Wudhu is a physical and spiritual act to purify oneself and is required by Muslim prayers to go through before praying.

The tempat wudhu is equipped with many water faucets and drainage to accommodate more people when they wash before praying. One can imagine the frequency of exposure to wetness and high humidity in that area. Thus, if the area is treated with poor waterproofing methods, the results are visible in the form of peeling paints, water-damaged walls, mould, and malodour – all of which would make prayers feel uncomfortable during wudhu.

Here’s a video footage we captured during our visit to a client’s mosque wudhu area to inspect and solve the waterproofing issue.

5 Things To Consider Before Choosing A Permanent Anti-Slip Treatment For Floors

5 Things To Consider Before Choosing A Permanent Anti-Slip Treatment For Floors

There are many aspects to slip-proofing your floors, especially if you’re looking for a permanent solution.

If you are a property or premise owner looking for permanent anti-slip treatment to prevent slip and fall accidents, you definitely would want to treat the floors in areas with a high chance of slip hazards such as the kitchen, bathrooms, staircases, swimming pool area, etc. With so many anti-slip methods available in the market, you may have a bit of trouble deciding on the most suitable option that works for you – especially when you start doing your research about the various aspects one should consider. After all, it’s going to be permanent.

Here are 5 factors to consider before deciding on a permanent anti-slip treatment method for your floors.

1. Does the anti-slip treatment change the appearance of your floor?

Epoxy Flakes Antislip

Depending on the anti-slip treatment you decide on for your floor, some of the solutions may reduce shine and increase texture roughness on tiles permanently – not a desirable trait for homeowners who invested in expensive tiles.

The most popular question we receive from inquiries about our anti-slip floor treatment is regarding aesthetics – “Will this treatment change the appearance of my floors?” Understandably, many anti-slip treatments out there are known to eventually alter the design, colour, texture, and general appearance of the floor surface. These small things add up, and over time, the treatment greatly affects the look and style of an area. Thus, you need to reconsider your choice of anti-slip treatments if you want to preserve the appearance of your floor surface, especially if you’ve invested in expensive and beautiful-looking tiles. But with Nano-G, rest assured that our solution is transparent and will not affect the appearance of your existing flooring design.

2. How long can the anti-slip solution last?

Can your treated floor withstand a basic scratch test? Floor treatments using films usually fail this simple test, so watch out for what you are being sold.

If your premises are exposed to high foot traffic every day, it is important to look for permanent anti-slip treatment for floors that have a significantly longer life span and greater durability to withstand the high frequency of usage. Additionally, the treatment should be able to withstand scratches and abrasion when heavy items are moved across the floor surface, as well as the use of harsh chemicals in industrial or commercial premises. With Nano-G, however, you do not need to worry about durability and resistance to wear and tear as our anti-slip solution is guaranteed to serve you for years to come, as evident in many of our client testimonials.

3. Are there toxic fumes during the application process? 

5 Things To Consider Before Choosing A Permanent Anti-Slip Treatment For Floors

As technology continues to advance, many solutions for home improvements have seriously looked into minimising VOCs that are harmful to both contract workers and occupants during and after the application process. 

The fumes from many chemical solutions used in the construction or renovation of homes and commercial buildings release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are harmful when inhaled by humans. Such solutions that release VOCs are dangerous for hospitals, day-care centers, and confinement centers – and for anti-slip solutions, acid etching falls into this category. The process is also dangerous for workers who are deployed during the application process as acid etching chemically changes the structure of the floor surface. 

Health concerns aside, another issue with the acid etching method for anti-slip floor treatments is that the effectiveness depends on the chemical resistance of the floor’s surface and the skill of the workers. Done incorrectly, they may just end up damaging your floors. However, with Nano-G, our anti-slip solutions are non-toxic, low VOC, and safe to work with throughout the application process. 

4. How reliable is it in preventing slips and falls?

5 Things To Consider Before Choosing A Permanent Anti-Slip Treatment For Floors

Anti-slip mats are known to trap moisture, dirt, oils, and grime beneath – thus are not the most ideal solution for someone looking to permanently safeguard their premises against slips and falls.

Anti-slip mats and tapes are made to stick on floors with slippery surfaces. These items can be easily bought online or at hardware stores at a relatively cheap price. Although these are quick fixes, they are not a reliable long-term solution as mats and tapes are prone to accidental removal and wear and tear – all of which depend upon the surface type, quality of manufacturing, and the amount of foot traffic they are subject to on a day-to-day basis. If applied incorrectly, these mats and tapes could cause trips and falls which defeats the purpose of the product.

If you want a permanent solution, it’s time to invest in Nano-G’s anti-slip solution that is designed to prevent slip and fall accidents as testified by our satisfied customers

5. Is it easy to clean or maintain?

Wouldn’t it be great if your anti-slip floor treatment was maintenance free? 

Your method of cleaning the floor would have to change depending on your anti-slip solution. Most permanent anti-slip treatment for floors offered in the market add roughness and texture to surfaces for higher slip resistance -but this may make them more prone to dirt and grime. For treatments that use coatings, you might need to avoid sticky or harsh chemical cleaners to avoid damaging the treated floors. As for anti-slip mats, the nook and crevices of the mats have to be cleaned regularly to prevent moisture from accumulating that would cause mould growth.

On a positive note, Nano-G’s anti-slip solutions are widely used in residential homes and commercial places due to the ease and convenience of cleaning and maintaining the floor post-treatment. You can clean your newly treated floors with regular cleaning products, and the solution prevents water and dust from adhering to the floor, effectively deterring bacteria and mould from clinging to the treated floor surface.

Nano-G anti-slip floor coating offers a simple and quick solution to all your concerns. 

Our solution is one of the MOST effective anti-slip coatings – with less than a one-in-a-million chance of causing slip and fall accidents. Moreover, Nano-G’s Nanotechnology anti-slip floor coating is highly recommended by authorities and clients such as government hospitals and various commercial buildings as a healthier, non-toxic alternative to increase the friction of slippery floor surfaces.
