Why Use Liquid Applied Waterproofing Membranes?

Liquid Applied Waterproofing for Concrete, Metal, Timber & Flat Surfaces

Liquid Applied Membranes have the unique properties of extreme flexibility combined with seamless and robust bonding – all ideal qualities for a long life waterproofing membrane.

Liquid Membranes have a high viscosity formulation designed for application on both vertical and horizontal substrates.

The preferred waterproofing product for the roof project below is a Liquid Applied Membrane System combined with Thermo White Roof Coating.

Properties of Liquid Rubber Membranes

Seamless – so no joins or seams as areas of potential weakness.
Flexible – membrane contracts & expands with roof surface.
Conforms to Shape – around roof services, rails, stairs etc.
OH&S Compliant & Eco-Friendly – no heat, fumes or torches.
High Performance – Long Live & Robust Adherence.
Encapsulation – preserving whatever is underneath & protection from weathering.
Cost Effectiveness – liquid roofing provides a cost-effective method of making a new or existing roof waterproof.

Rooftop & Balcony Waterproofing Methods

Liquid Coating Systems will bond to a great many substrates, allowing its use in many situations without having to remove and dispose of the existing surface.

This saves time and avoids the cost of removal and cost/environmental issues associated with disposal.
Remedial Waterproofing present many challenges and Liquid Membranes are suitable for many repair projects.
Liquid System makes it easy to seal and make water tight around all existing fixed structures and utilities.

Video Case Study – Waterproof Repairs to Concrete Roof

Video below outlines waterproofing repairs to an industrial roof & plant deck area.

The severely deteriorated existing roof membrane was leaking into rooms below.
It was not a viable option to remove the original roof membrane so spray-apply liquid membrane was the ideal repair product.
The new waterproof membrane, Liquid Rubber, was spray installed over the existing surface in a matter of days.

Roof Waterproof Coatings

Liquid Membranes offer a long term solution for exiting roofs & can often be applied directly over existing & damaged surfaces – saving time & money.

The rooftop project in images below had existing roof membrane that was severely damaged and causing extensive water damage to structures below.
Existing roofs often have difficult access so removal and replacement can be prohibitively expensive.
The existing leaking roof membrane was prepared and then over-sprayed with a Liquid Rubber Waterproofing System.
This spray applied waterproofing method provided a seamless, monolithic membrane that coated around all upturns, stairs and rooftop deck and plant equipment.

Heat Reflective Roof Coatings

This roof repair project was completed with white Thermal Reflective Top Coat over the base coat of Liquid Rubber.
Heat Reflective Coatings provide a robust and flexible roof membrane that also reduces interior temperature up to approx 8 degrees.
As a cool roof coating, heat reflective products are an excellent top coat to spray over the base coat membrane – this 2-stage system provides a protective long life solution for roof leaks.

Thermo Top Coat is not just a roof paint but a waterproof membrane in its own right.

Waterproof Repairs to Leaking Roofs

Very often when choosing to use Spray-Applied Waterproofing Membranes, there is no need to remove the existing roof surface.

Spray application is extremely fast – saving costs and time involved with a complete roof replacement.

In fact with Roof Case Study above removing and replacing the damaged membrane was not an option.
The roof structure was part of a power station and consequently it was not feasible for the roof to be removed.
Added to this was the challenge of providing waterproof repairs in a timely manner.
So speed was an essential element for choosing rapid sray applied Liquid Membranes.
Added to this ware the challenges of bridging the transition between the new membrane and existing roof.
Spray application for the waterproofing membrane was the perfect solution.

We have looked at many different products and are really pleased to have developed a system that ticks all the boxes – LIQUID WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE combined with a HEAT REFLECTIVE TOP COAT.
