Hey,
Currently, it looks like in the picture. Now I would like to complete the splash protection.
A dimpled membrane will be installed vertically along the house wall, positioned in front of the membrane that is already in place. However, I don’t want to fill the entire area with the decorative stones. Instead, I am considering applying a layer of another material at the bottom—what material would be suitable for this? On top of that, I would place a geotextile fabric, and then the decorative stones. This way, the decorative stones would not be located in the invisible section.
Will this setup still allow proper water drainage, especially since there is quite a bit of concrete on the inner side?
Would someone be able to provide advice on this? Also, what color would work well for the decorative stones on top?
Thanks!

Allthewayup13 Feb 2024 22:59Due to recent developments, I’m bringing this thread back up and have a few questions regarding the topic. Since the general contractor (GC) is not handling the exterior landscaping and our gardener is only suited for rough work rather than detailed tasks, the issue of the base waterproofing has been left unresolved.
So far, the GC/plasterer/painter has done the following:
1) Applied a two-component (2K) reactive waterproofing layer completely around the house. (Photo attached)
2) Applied a bonding bridge of reactive waterproofing to the base plaster. (Photo attached)
3) Applied base plaster (no photo)
4) Applied slurry waterproofing, smoothed out (no photo)
5) Applied primer coat of paint (photo attached, current condition)
The finished ground level will be at the bottom edge of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Up to this level, we will construct the terrace and also install a splash guard around some areas of the house.
My specific question is whether a further layer of 2K reactive waterproofing (slurry waterproofing) needs to be applied directly onto the finished base plaster up to the level where the splash guard will be installed?
Unfortunately, I am confused by the countless posts online and the differing advice from building material consultants. I understand that a drainage protection board (dimple membrane) will be installed, but it is unclear to me whether an additional slurry waterproofing layer must also be applied.

Allthewayup14 Feb 2024 13:48The light wells are extendable and are not the primary issue. You often see water marks forming on baseboards or plinths, causing the paint to peel. What was done incorrectly in those cases? Can I fully trust the base coat plaster to prevent water from rising upwards?

Allthewayup14 Feb 2024 20:27I came across this diagram and it made me think. According to it, an additional mineral waterproof coating needs to be applied up to above the ground level (GOK). Structurally, the construction on our side is identical to the one shown in this drawing.
