Liquid Applied Membranes

Why use Liquid Applied Waterproofing Membranes

Liquid Spray-Applied Waterproofing products were developed to solve the many problems that continually arise with older generation membrane systems i.e torch on, sheet or roll out systems.

Seamless Protection

One of the primary benefits of liquid applied waterproofing membranes is their seamless protection. Unlike traditional sheet membranes, which are prone to seams and joints that can be vulnerable to water penetration, liquid applied membranes create a continuous barrier that effectively seals out moisture.

This seamless protection ensures that water cannot find its way into the building envelope, preventing leaks and water damage

Liquid Applied Membranes have many properties superior to traditional waterproofing systems

  • Rapid application – coverage up to 1000m2 a day.
  • Extreme flexibility – allows for structural movement.
  • Horizontal and Vertical surfaces – mould to shape & around services, penetrations etc.
  • No Flames, heat or solvent adhesives used – non-toxic, odourless, non-flammable liquid components.
  • Safety & OHS Compliance – No hazard for construction sites, safe for workers & clients during application.
  • Manufacturer & Installer Guarantees – As Registered Building Practitioners under the Victoria Building Authority (VBA) we can offer warranty insurance, full public liability and product insurances.

Liquid Membranes overcome the challenges encountered with conventional waterproofing systems

  • Sheet membrane – incorporate seams & joins which can de-laminate with time
  • Conventional sheet membranes are unable to withstand “ponding” or standing water.
  • These membrane systems will deteriorate with time if subjected to water pooling.
  • Sheet membranes are not fully bonded to the surface substrate.
  • There is always the possibility the sheet membrane will delaminate.

Liquid Applied Membranes

  • Spray application is a rapid waterproofing method – up to three times faster than conventional sheet waterproofing
  • Instant Set – enables shorter windows of opportunity to carry out application.
  • Can be applied on slightly damp surfaces – sometimes a necessary requirement for winter projects.
  • Requires no primers, mixers, flames or heat – contributing to safer and faster applications
  • Liquid membranes have elasticity 110% – this flexibility allows for substrate movement.

Solving roof water leaks with Liquid Applied Waterproofing

Liquid Applied Membranes are in great demand for remedial and rectification waterproofing

  • About 40-45% of the demand for liquid applied membrane comes from repair and restoration projects.
  • Usage of inferior quality waterproofing products in the past, followed by poor installation practices is creating a strong market for waterproofing repair and rehabilitation, which can be resolved by liquid applied membranes.
  • Liquid Applied Waterproofing membranes are monolithic, seamless property and the capability to conform to every configuration.
  • Liquid applied elastomeric membranes are single or double component membranes which tend to form a flexible, tough, elastomeric, membrane with premium mechanical properties.
  • These membranes are having a wide application in the construction industry for waterproofing and protecting surfaces against abrasion and chemicals.

LAMs are a low viscosity waterproofing membrane which can be applied as a liquid coating to both horizontal and vertical surfaces.

Liquid Applied Waterproofing contours to shape

  • Liquid membranes by their very nature can contour around the most complex details.
  • Liquid waterproofing are hard wearing, seamless, monolithic and flexible systems can also be structurally reinforced.
  • Conforms to any shape – horizontal and vertical surfaces.
  • Balconies around handrail supports, thresholds, rainwater outlets and downspouts.

Liquid Applied Waterproofing seamless elastomeric membranes

  • Liquid Applied Membranes (LAM) are capable of encapsulating asbestos & coping with structural movement and deformation.
  • Our systems and materials include flexible and liquid membranes for internal and external applications.
  • All work is supported by Registered Builders, waterproofing manufacturers warranty, OHS compliant and certified applicators.

FAQs

A The primary benefit of using liquid applied waterproofing membranes is their seamless protection, which prevents water infiltration and protects against leaks and water damage.

A The advantages of the easy application of liquid applied waterproofing membranes include a quick and efficient installation process, suitability for various substrates, and versatility for different construction projects.
