Get in TouchLiquid waterproofing refers to a method of creating a seamless and protective waterproof layer on various surfaces using liquid-applied materials. Two commonly used types of liquid waterproofing are PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) and PU (Polyurethane). Both of these materials offer effective waterproofing solutions for a wide range of applications.
PMMA is a synthetic resin that is often used for liquid waterproofing due to its exceptional durability, flexibility, and fast curing times. It consists of a two-component system: a liquid resin and a catalyst. When these components are mixed, they undergo a chemical reaction that forms a tough, seamless, and waterproof membrane. Some key applications and benefits of PMMA waterproofing include:
Applications
PMMA waterproofing is commonly used for roofing, balconies, terraces, and areas with high foot traffic. It is also suitable for complex shapes and areas with multiple penetrations like pipes and vents.
Benefits
PMMA offers rapid curing times, even in cold temperatures and high humidity. This quick curing allows for faster project completion. PMMA membranes are highly flexible, making them ideal for areas prone to movement. They are also UV-resistant, durable, and can withstand mechanical stress.
Colours and Finishes
PMMA liquid waterproofing systems often come in a wide range of RAL colours, which allows for creative design possibilities. Additionally, they can be applied with various finishes, including slip-resistant textures, providing safety in areas with foot traffic.
Polyurethane is another popular choice for liquid waterproofing due to its flexibility, adhesion, and resistance to chemicals and abrasion. PU waterproofing typically consists of two components: a base resin and an isocyanate curing agent. Once mixed, they react to form a durable waterproof membrane. Here are its applications and benefits:
Applications
PU waterproofing is commonly used for roofs, decks, balconies, and foundations. It is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects. It can be applied to a variety of substrates, including concrete, metal, and wood.
Benefits
PU membranes are known for their excellent adhesion to different surfaces, ensuring a strong bond. They are flexible, which helps them accommodate structural movements. PU waterproofing offers good resistance to chemicals, making it suitable for areas exposed to various environmental conditions.
Colours and Finishes
PU liquid waterproofing systems also come in a range of RAL colours, allowing for aesthetic integration with the surrounding environment. Different finishes are available, including smooth and textured surfaces, catering to both functional and visual needs.
In both PMMA and PU waterproofing systems, the availability of various RAL colours and finishes offers versatility and customisation options. The choice of colour and finish can be important for achieving desired aesthetics, blending with the surroundings, and even enhancing safety through features like slip-resistant textures.
When selecting a liquid waterproofing system, factors such as the specific application, substrate type, expected movement, exposure to UV radiation, and local environmental conditions all play a crucial role. Consulting with professionals who are experienced in liquid waterproofing can help ensure that the right material, colour, and finish are chosen for your specific project needs.
"Following many years of ineffective repairs by previous contractors, Invictus Roofing Ltd identified the cause of water ingress from balcony to room below. The repair was carried out in an efficient manner and explained clearly. The balcony was left in a clean and tidy state. Invictus has been a pleasure to deal with and I heartily recommend them."
“Over the Summer 2017 holidays we had a large part of our flat roof replaced. Invictus Roofing worked cleanly without disruption to the school. Any issues raised were resolved promptly. We would use Invictus Roofing again”
We had a very large roof replacement completed on split sites at Hove Park School in 2017. We had a large area of the Nevill Campus roof replaced over the changing rooms and student toilets, which was conducted during the school holidays. Invictus Roofing fulfilled all requests, solved any issues, and always put our student’s needs and safety first. I would happily use Invictus Roofing again in the future.”
"We cannot recommend this company highly enough. If you need to repair or replace a flat roof then this is the company to use.
Invictus was recommended to us by a seasoned building professional after we had received a bewildering array of quotes from other contractors.
Right from the start Invictus were a pleasure to deal with. Prompt, price competitive, with exceptional customer service. The work was carried out to a very high standard and the site left clean and tidy. Scaffolding was removed promptly."
