WATERPROOFING COATINGS
Waterproofing is the procedure of making the walls, bridges, swimming pools & structure waterproof or water-resistant. The waterproofing coatings are applied to cover the masonry of the building with waterproof substances or materials.

Waterproofing coatings act as impenetrable barriers on the surfaces of roofs, walls, & other structural items to prevent the passage of water from these surfaces.

The coatings increase the life span of structures and reduce maintenance costs. We have waterproofing materials and products such as polymer-modified acrylic and bituminous coatings.

We serve turnkey projects through turnkey waterproofing contractors.

We have provided waterproofing solutions for commercial and residential projects of established legacies. We offer the best waterproofing chemical solutions for external walls, terrace floors, overhead tanks, swimming pools, podium decks, roof gardens, parking decks, underground water tanks, house foundations, construction joints, STP tanks, other areas, etc.

FAQs
What are the different types of waterproofing coats?

There are different types of waterproofing coatings including acrylic elastomeric coatings, polyurethane coatings, polymer-cementitious coatings, epoxy coatings etc. Choosing the right type depends on your specific needs, surface material, budget, and skills. Always consult the manufacturer’s instructions and research before applying any waterproofing coat.

What chemical is used for waterproofing?

Waterproofing chemicals come in many forms, but some widely used chemicals are acrylic polymers and polyurethanes. They can form flexible, durable membranes ideal for roofs and exposed surfaces. The best choice depends on the specific application and material being protected.

Which waterproofing is best for the outside walls?

The best waterproofing for outside walls depends on your needs. Factors like budget, surface type, etc, should be considered. Elastomeric waterproofing is flexible for accommodating cracks and movement. Polymeric-cementitious waterproofing coatings are strong and durable and are great for smaller wet areas while being versatile and long-lasting.

Is epoxy coating waterproofing?
Epoxy can be waterproof, but depends on type and application. Some epoxies offer excellent water resistance for floors, countertops, and specific surfaces. However, not all are designed for exposed walls or extreme water exposure. Choose specific waterproofing epoxies and ensure proper application for best results.
What is PU coating?
PU coating, or polyurethane coating, is a type of resin used to make waterproofing coatings. It is known for its flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and water. This coating enhances material lifespan and is widely used in outdoor gear, furniture, and flooring for its robustness and aesthetic appeal.
What is the best waterproof chemical for roofs?

The best waterproof chemical for roofs includes polyurethane coatings, acrylic emulsions, or silicone-based sealants, chosen based on your roof type and needs. Consult an expert for the ideal solution.
