UBR Prefab Bathrooms
Prefab bathrooms using UBR systems bring robust waterproofing through factory integration of membranes, joints, and drainage channels, which minimizes on-site moisture exposure during assembly. The factory setting allows precise surface preparation, controlled curing, and standardized testing, reducing variability in sealing performance that often arises from field conditions. Once installed, these units reduce field workmanship errors and deliver predictable performance under cycling humidity, temperature changes, and limited access spaces.
Proper interface detailing with the surrounding structure remains essential for long-term performance, including how edges meet walls, floors, and adjacent balcony or terrace slabs. Edge sealants, bonding primers, flashing details, and drainage connections must be coordinated with wall finishes and substrate movements to prevent micro-leaks. Inspection during delivery helps confirm the UBR module arrives with intact seals, factory documentation, and a clear maintenance plan for the building operator.
Rooftop Waterproofing
Rooftop waterproofing demands slope stability, adequate drainage, and durable membranes capable of withstanding temperature swings, wind-driven rain, and ultraviolet exposure across decades. Common materials include sheet membranes, liquid-applied coatings, and protective ballast layers, each with a unique installation approach and compatibility with existing roof assemblies. Choosing products with high UV resistance, thermal flexibility, and compatibility with insulation improves longevity within challenging environmental conditions.
Preparation starts with thorough substrate cleaning and crack repair, then priming to optimize adhesion and curing, followed by careful sequencing to prevent moisture entrapment. Flashing at parapets, penetrations, roof-to-wall transitions, and terminations must be integrated into a single water barrier and tested for watertightness. Maintenance plans should include post-storm inspections, prompt resealing where wear is visible, and periodic non-destructive testing to catch hidden deterioration.
Exterior Wall Sealing
Exterior walls rely on continuous membranes or sealant joints to deter capillary water intrusion, while allowing vapor diffusion to prevent mold and condensation problems. Popular options include cementitious waterproof coatings, elastomeric membranes, and silicone or polyurethane sealants, chosen based on substrate compatibility, movement needs, and decorative requirements. Selecting breathable yet watertight products supports moisture management, interior comfort, and a reduced need for energy-intensive drying.
Surface preparation is crucial, including crack repair, smoothing rough patches, and primer compatibility checks to guarantee strong adhesion over the life of the facade. Thermal expansion gaps, corner joints, and penetrations require sealants with appropriate movement capacity and long-term aging performance. Regular exterior inspections after heavy rain or seasonal freeze-thaw cycles help catch micro-cracks before they escalate into major leakage paths.
