Waterproof Membranes

Do you know what the single largest cause of damage to building envelopes is? Water ingress, also known as water damage. This is what happens when water from outside makes it’s way into the property. It generally happens due to damaged walls, roofs, drainage or plumbing. This may or may not be a result of sub-par waterproofing initially.

Water ingress can cause serious damage. In minor cases, it can create damp spots in your property. This will eventually lead to peeling paint, odd smells and mould growth. In the worst case scenario, it can cause structural damage. This is why it’s important to protect your building from the get-go.

Want to ensure the best protection against water damage? To do so, you need to work out a strong set of waterproofing requirements. That comes from understanding the unique environment of your building. Moreover, you have to consider both current and future surrounds.

At Antiskid, we install high-quality waterproof membranes that guarantee robust waterproofing. First, we analyse your building and it’s requirements. Next, we consider a variety of factors, including:

• Ground water pressure
• Ground water or soil contaminants
• Geological stability
• Construction methodology
• Allowable water ingress or dampness
• Life expectancy requirement
• Trafficability
• Colour fast / UV stability
• Green building requirements / VOC

Following this, we can suggest a waterproofing specification that provides optimal longevity. You can also expect it to lower your operation and maintenance costs.
