Flat roofs are particularly exposed to weathering, and without proper waterproofing can occur:
To avoid these problems, it is essential to choose the right waterproofing system.
Bituminous membranes are one of the most popular solutions. They are prefabricated sheets that are hot applied to the roof surface, creating a water-resistant barrier. They are suitable for residential and industrial buildings and have a long service life.
Synthetic membranes, such as PVC and TPO, offer a lighter and more UV-resistant alternative to bitumen. They are easy to apply and provide excellent performance even in extreme weather conditions.
Liquid membranes are an innovative and flexible solution. They are applied by spray or roller, creating a continuous seamless membrane ideal for complex and irregular roofing.
Crystallizing waterproofing technologies, such as DRYMIX ULTRA, offer long-lasting protection to concrete by penetrating into the material matrix and sealing porosity from the inside. This system provides high water resistance even in high humidity conditions.
The choice of the most suitable technology depends on several factors:
For a newly constructed flat roof, bituminous or synthetic membranes are often the ideal choice. For the rehabilitation of existing roofs, liquid resins or crystallizing treatments can offer an effective solution without having to remove pre-existing materials.
A properly waterproofed flat roof provides lasting protection, increased energy efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. Relying on quality materials and experienced professionals is essential to achieve optimal results and prevent future damage.
