Do you love to spend your evenings or mornings enjoying the open air of your terrace? Whether you prefer the company of your friends and family, or, like spending some quiet time alone, your terrace is probably one of the favourite spaces in your home! Sadly, it is a favourable ground for water damage too. Since it is exposed to weather changes, waterproofing becomes a must.
A home without efficient and advanced waterproofing can get damaged easily, and will cost more to repair later. So, spend a little extra on waterproofing solutions during construction to save yourself the trouble and money later.
Laying a waterproofing membrane over external terraces and parapets protect these spaces from water damage. It prevents water from seeping into the structural slab that causes damage. Waterproofing these areas add to the strength and durability to the entire structure.
Terraces were traditionally waterproofed with Brick Bat Coba, Mud Phuska Treatment, China Mosaic Treatment, sheet wrapping systems or bitumen-based coatings.
Today, other methods are also used to waterproof terraces. These include polymer-based liquid applied seamless membrane waterproofing coatings, preformed membrane-based coatings, chemical waterproofing treatment, etc.
Weatherproofing is protecting your terrace from damage caused by changes in the weather, along with damage caused by water seepage. It protects your terrace from UV rays, heat, rain, wind and cold/snow exposure, and provides it the resistance and durability to withstand these environmental changes.
Ensure your structure is water and weatherproof to avoid issues such as high heat and blistering. Check our products page for more information with regards to your specific terrace waterproofing needs!
