Liquid Applied Membranes are most often our waterproofing product of choice - this is because elastomeric waterproof membranes have many unique properties.
Spray Applied Elastomeric Liquid Membrane
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.
Advantages of Liquid Applied Waterproofing Membranes

Torch On Waterproofing
Liquid Rubber Membranes have many properties that are 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.
Problems Encountered with Conventional Waterproofing Systems
Photos below tell part of the story why for many projects Findlay - Evans Waterproofing prefer
Liquid Applied Membranes in preference to Sheet & Torch-On Systems
"I have come across the same problems continuously with sheet membranes and/or torch-on in my 30 years within the construction & waterproofing industry. Sometimes these issues could have been resolved with better preparation and best practice application of the waterproofing membrane, however there are several inherent problems associated with these waterproofing products."
Its monolithic, seamless property and the capability to conform to every configuration is causing its demand to escalate in the global construction industry.
LAM is a low viscosity waterproofing membrane which is applied as a liquid coating to horizontal and vertical surfaces.
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.
Usage of bad quality construction material in the past, followed by poor maintenance of the building strucure is creating a strong market for repair and rehabilitation, which can be resolved by liquid applied membranes.
About 40-45% of the demand for liquid applied membrane comes from repair and restoration projects.
Liquid applied membranes are also efficient in reducing cracks in the concrete, thus driving its demand across the globe.
Elastomeric Membranes: Fastest Growing Waterproofing product on the Market
The Australian Institute of Management (AIM) recently engaged F.E.W Waterproofing to resurface the Level 6 plant area which was prone to water leakage.
Liquid Rubber was used and is brilliant seamless product; we were very impressed with the finished product.
The F.E.W workmanship was of a high standard. Since having the Liquid Rubber laid down we have not experienced any water leaks.
