Advantages of Waterproof Membrane and Waterproof Coating
Waterproof membranes offer several advantages in construction applications.They are easy to apply, require a short construction period, and do not necessitate maintenance post-application. Moreover, these membranes resist temperature variations, reduce environmental pollution, and enable precise control of layer thickness to meet design specifications. Additionally, they facilitate accurate material calculations, thereby simplifying construction site management. Furthermore, while they are not prone to shortcuts, they ensure uniform layer thickness and effectively manage the stress of the base course during installation.
Waterproof coatings can create a seamless and integral waterproof barrier.The required equipment is simple, and construction techniques are easy to learn, enabling application with hand rollers or brushes. The coating bonds fully with the base course to create a waterproof layer, except in areas with cracks or nodes, where a reinforcement layer strengthens the bond. Cracks in the base course that exceed the coating’s extensibility typically cause water leakage during its service life. Identifying and repairing leaks is simple, with warranty claims resolved efficiently using minimal waterproof material to patch cracks and damaged areas. High-quality coatings effectively block water ingress on the back surface, with some formulations capable of creating a waterproof layer on wet substrates.
