Rooftop Waterproofing
Rooftop areas endure rain, sun, wind, and temperature swings. Polyurethane liquid membranes and sheets form continuous barriers on flat decks and parapets. Detail around penetrations and drains to prevent leaks and water intrusion.
Surface prep means thorough cleaning, crack repair, and ensuring completely dry surfaces. Primers improve adhesion and UV resistance for long-term performance. Regular inspections after storms show wear needing quick repair and resealing.
Exterior Wall Coatings
Exterior walls face moisture, thermal movement, and weathering, demanding reliable barriers. Options include cementitious coatings and flexible membranes that bridge minor cracks. Flashing and edge detailing guide water away from openings.
Surface prep removes loose material, cleans dust, and ensures a solid base. Coating intervals vary with climate, typically 5 to 7 years, or more in harsh sun. Choose breathable coatings that block water but vent moisture effectively.
Bathroom Waterproofing
Bathrooms require rigorous waterproofing where walls meet floors and fixtures. Use either liquid membranes or sheet membranes for seamless, full coverage. Detail transitions at corners, niches, and drains to avoid hidden leaks.
Extend waterproofing around fixtures and penetrations with compatible sealants. Test the system before tiling to verify performance and integrity. Keep joints intact and promptly replace worn sealants to prevent leaks.
Window Frame Silicone
Window frame silicone seals gaps and prevents water ingress around frames. Choose UV resistant silicone that adheres to concrete, brick, and metal. Joints must accommodate seasonal movement without cracking, splitting, or peeling.
Prime surfaces to improve adhesion and extend sealant longevity. Some projects use non-silicone packings around glass to avoid edge staining. Schedule maintenance every 5 to 10 years and inspect for mildew.
