Roof Waterproof Coating System Working Principles

Leaky roofs and moisture are the number one roofing problem. When your roof starts to leak, you must take quick action to fix the problem. Roof coating systems provide excellent waterproofing for your existing roof substrate (asphalt, concrete, metal or SPF). Waterproofing your roof with the right roof insulation will protect your building from rain and snow and extend the life of your building.

The Role of Waterproofing Coatings

Roof insulation is a protective process designed to be applied to the roof of a building using a waterproofing material.
Roof waterproofing coatings prevent possible leakage and act as a barrier between the building, rain and snow. The commonly used substance is polyurethane, which is a reactive-curing (wet-curing) coating with high strength, high elongation and good water resistance. In this way, the building is protected by a system that is durable, does not leak, does not lead to the formation of mold and fungus, and does not lose performance.

How waterproofing works

It is very likely that buildings with incomplete roof waterproofing will leak when it rains and snows. Water seeps into the building through holes and dents in the roof and damages the building.
Roof water barrier should be done by experts using the right materials. A flexible concrete substance can be used, the coating should be applied evenly and the edges of the coating should be beveled. One should also install a drainage system to prevent the formation of puddles. This process should be completed with a suitable paint or coating material as the top layer.

Which materials to use

It is important to use the right waterproofing materials to protect the roof from rain and snow. One thinks of asphalt and asphalt-based liquid materials, membranes, coatings and auxiliary materials such as chamfering tape and mastic for waterproofing. In addition to these, materials such as plated shingles and roof tiles are also used as roof waterproofing materials.
Waterproofing membranes are the most popular material for roof insulation. Waterproofing membranes also come in the form of waterproofing covers and asphalt-based liquid membranes.

Asphalt-Based Materials

Asphalt-based waterproofing materials are one of the most popular and widely used waterproofing materials in the construction industry. This material is favored for roof insulation because of its ease of use and cost effectiveness.
Asphalt-based waterproofing membranes are one of the best-known roofing waterproofing materials and can be produced in liquid and roller form. Asphalt-based waterproofing membranes are materials used in roll form, applied with a torch, which adheres well to the surface and protects the building from water. It can be produced in different thicknesses and types depending on the application.
