Water Proofing Membranes

Water Proofing Membranes

Waterproofing is the process of making a surface or structure resistant to the penetration of water or other liquids, preventing moisture from damaging or entering a building or object. Waterproofing is essential in various industries and applications, including construction, manufacturing, and outdoor gear. Here are some common uses and methods of waterproofing:WeRBS Coating manufacture and supply Waterproofing membranes which are materials or systems used to prevent the infiltration of water into building structures, such as roofs, walls, basements, and foundations. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and longevity of structures by protecting them from water damage. Here are some common types of waterproofing membranes and their applications:

Bituminous Membranes :
  • Modified Bitumen Membranes : These are composed of asphalt modified with polymers or rubber compounds. They are commonly used for flat or low-slope roofs
  • Built-Up Roofing (BUR) : BUR systems consist of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcement materials like fiberglass or polyester.

    • EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) :
  • EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that is highly resistant to UV radiation and extreme temperatures. It is often used for flat or low-slope roofs.
    • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Membranes :
  • PVC membranes are thermoplastic and are popular for both flat and sloped roofs. They are durable and resistant to chemicals and UV rays.
    • TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) Membranes :
  • TPO membranes are another type of thermoplastic roofing material known for their energy-efficient properties. They are commonly used for commercial roofing.
    • Cementitious Membranes :
  • These are composed of cement and polymers and are often used for waterproofing basements, tunnels, and swimming pools. They are applied in a liquid form and cure to form a waterproof barrier
    • Liquid Membranes :
  • Liquid waterproofing membranes are applied as a liquid and can be sprayed, rolled, or brushed onto surfaces. They are versatile and can be used on various substrates, including concrete, wood, and metal.
    • Sheet Membranes :
  • Sheet membranes are typically made of materials like rubber, asphalt, or PVC and are rolled out onto the surface to be waterproofed. They are commonly used in below-grade applications and for waterproofing foundations.
    • Self-Adhering Membranes :
  • These membranes come with an adhesive backing, making installation easier. They are often used in roofing applications and for sealing joints and seams.
    • Spray-Applied Membranes :
  • Spray-applied waterproofing membranes are typically liquid rubber or elastomeric coatings that are sprayed onto the substrate. They are used for a variety of applications, including roofs and below-grade waterproofing.
    • Geotextile Membranes:
  • Geotextiles are used in civil engineering applications such as erosion control, drainage, and soil stabilization. They can also be used as part of a waterproofing system.
