It is a common question among the community whether using a membrane is strictly necessary or if it is more of an option when building or renovating a property. Without a doubt, waterproofing is a fundamental requisite for any construction type. It doesn't only prevails the longevity of a property, but guarantees lesser problems within the building. 

Construction deficiencies, the existence of critical points for waterproofing or wear caused by rain or snow, are usually behind the appearance of leaks in roofs and terraces. Without adequate treatment, it is only a matter of time before leaks or humidity end up making a dent in the interior of our homes. But this is no longer a problem, as there are numerous roof waterproofing systems on the market. One of them is especially prevailing over the rest due to its versatility and value for money. We are talking about liquid waterproofing membranes. 

 

What is behind this innovative product?

Liquid waterproofing membranes, also known as liquid membranes, are applied like paint, and when they dry they form an elastic membrane with great waterproofing capacity. Manufacturers of waterproofing solution brands have developed several of these membranes from numerous compounds such as cement, silicone resins, acrylic copolymers, polyurethanes or bituminous and asphalt waterproofing.

Advantages of liquid waterproofing membranes 

1. Easy application: Liquid membranes are applied like any other paint by brush, roller, or spray. 

2. High elasticity: On surfaces such as terraces where there is direct exposure to the sun, the expansion of its surface is a problem that directly affects products for waterproofing terraces. The elasticity of liquid membranes prevents cracks and other damage from appearing that could affect their quality.

3. Long useful life: The waterproofing properties extend over time without any failure in its effectiveness. In fact, regular maintenance is not necessary as is the case with other solutions. These advantages are associated with its high resistance to weathering, aging, and ultraviolet radiation.
