ᐅ Sealing of the exterior entrance door

Hello hardworking craftsmen,

I want to start with the step in the outdoor area at my place. I plan to fill the area with recycled material and later lay stones in gravel.

Now to my question: What is the best way to seal the door area beforehand? Is EPDM sealing tape enough, or should I use liquid waterproofing?

A photo of the current condition is included.
I would appreciate advice on how to do this properly but also practically.
Thanks in advance and good luck with your projects.

Is that the concrete slab below? Is there a basement?

Is that colored gravel plaster on the left?

The sealing of the door or the extension frame on which the door is installed should have been completed before applying any other exterior materials.

Yes, that is the slab foundation. No basement. Colored render on both sides.
Everything was carried out by the appropriate companies.

In front of the curb plaster, side entrance door. The preparation underneath should be

The issue is that all material transitions (e.g., between the base profile and wall, or profile and floor slab) need to be sealed seamlessly. This should be done both with a pure sealing compound (for example, Remmers MB2K+ is suitable) and additionally reinforced with a crack-bridging tape (or molded pieces for corners) – which is then embedded into the sealing compound. This works and adheres best on material that is left as raw as possible (more precisely, sanded and/or primed according to the sealing compound manufacturer’s specifications).

Whether adhesion will be sufficient in your case, especially with colored pebble-dash render, is difficult to say... It is best to ask, for example, Remmers if they approve such an application.

Ok, thanks for your response. I had actually already ordered Remmers and the suitable form tape. I will probably try it with that then.
