Roof Waterproof Coatings Melbourne

Using Innovative Roof Waterproofing Membranes
What is the best waterproof coating for roof repairs?
- Flexibility - roof membranes need to move with normal climatic fluctuations of expansion & contraction.
- UV Stable - roof membranes need to be not just UV resistant but also for UV stability for long life.
- Robust Adherence - roof membranes require strong bonding to existing roof surface i.e concrete, metal, timber etc.
- Contours to Shape - rooftops often involve air conditioning, utilities etc. A waterproof membrane must completely seal around all roof penetrations.
- Withstand "Ponding" Water - this is especially important for flat roofs as water & moisture will at times "stand" for extended length of time on the roof surface. Not all membranes can withstand ponding water.
There are a multitude of waterproofing membranes on the market
however not all are suitable as a roof membrane and particularly for roof remediation.
When deciding on the best waterproofing solution for a roof membrane,
conventional products have a few shortcomings that need to be considered.
Many of the traditional bitumen & asphalt waterproofing products do not have the necessary properties for a long term solution - lacking flexibility and suspect to splits & cracking with time.
Traditional waterproofing methods used in the construction industry often involve joins/seams, which are areas of weakness, use flames, heat, fumes and VOCs which do not suit today's OH&S compliance issues.
Torch On Membranes may involve fumes - installers are often required to use respirators on-site.
Sheet & Roll On waterproofing membranes may require heat to seal joins & seams.
For instance,torch-on systems using heat and flames may damage roof wiring and infrastructure .
Heat & fumes are a safety issue on many construction sites and their use may be prohibited.
Liquid Membranes meet the requirements of environmental & health and safety issues within the commercial, industrial and infrastructure roofing indusrty

Liquid membranes are seamless & flexible.
Flexibility allows Liquid Rubber membranes to move with normal thermal expansion & contraction of a roof surface.
Liquid roof coatings are ideal either for complete roof restorations and/or for repairing roof leaks.
These membranes are suitable for repairs in areas of "ponding" water, at splits in existing roof membranes, around all roof penetrations, drains, HVAC and roof utilities.
Spray-applied Liquid Rubber provides an extremely fast application – this ideal to fix commercial roofs.
Liquid waterproofing products set instantly upon spray application, which makes installation efficient allowing application approximately 3 x faster than conventional sheet/torch-on systems.
The unique properties of Liquid Applied Membranes make these an ideal waterproofing product of choice, especially for roof projects.

How to a Fix Leaking Roof - Commercial & Infrastructure
Commercial and industrial roofs very often involve structures and businesses etc where complete roof removal is either not an option, inconvenient or extremely costly.
- Method - repairing roof leaks require meticulous surface preparation and professional installation of the chosen membrane system.
- Diagnosing the Water Leak - the problem with water is that it can track quite a distance from point of entry.
- Use the Correct Waterproofing Product - not all products have the properties required to provide long term waterproofing solution for roof repairs.

Choosing A Waterproofing System
Repairing roof leaks is not just identifying the point of water ingress but also using quality waterproofing products together with correct methodology.
- Research Waterproofing Products - there are many products in the market today. However don't use an outdated system just because it has been traditionally used.
- New Generation Waterproofing - there have been enormous advances over the last decade with new waterproof systems combining many unique and exciting properties.
- Method - repairing roof leaks require meticulous surface preparation and professional installation of the chosen membrane system.

Advantages of Spray Applied Liquid Waterproofing
The unique flexibility of elastomeric membranes provides a product that is designed to be used anywhere and on any sort of roof surface: residential, commercial, industrial, flat, concrete, timber and metal.
- Spray Application - gives more control over the product. This aids in really sealing those pesky nooks and crannies that so often occur on rooftops.
- Fast Application - another bonus is that application is extremely fast, with coverage of roughly 1000m² a day - often 3x faster than other waterproofing systems.
- Eco Friendly - there are no transportation hazards throughout the process of installation. This needs to be considered due to the many pitfalls involved with the logistics of multi level roof repairs & remediation.
- No Need to Remove Existing - spray applied membranes often mean there is no need for the expensive and time consuming removal the existing roof surface and/or damaged old membrane.
- Can be Applied on Damp Surfaces - Liquid Rubber application also does not require any additional primers or mixers. You don't need a bone-dry application surface which will save some time.
- Complys to O&H Issues - Liquid waterproofing products are non-toxic, odourless and non-flammable.
- Withstands Weather - Liquid Rubber membranes also withstands various weather conditions and will not oxidise or loosen over time.
Spray-on membranes are high-quality, and the fact that they can be sprayed over existing roof surfaces make this an inexpensive alternative to roof or membrane removal and replacement.
Many of the traditional bitumen & asphalt products do not have the necessary properties for a long term solution - lacking flexibility and suspect to splits & cracking with time.
