Bituminous coating is another method for waterproofing a building structure. Its polymer grade and reinforced fiber properties offer flexibility and water resistance. This method, also known as asphalt coating, is ideal for concrete foundations.
Fremont, CA: Waterproofing buildings is important because it creates an impenetrable barrier against water over roofs, foundations, and walls. Here are some of the most commonly used waterproofing materials in building construction.
Liquid Waterproofing Membrane
A primer coat is applied first, followed by a couple of topcoats applied with a roller, spray, or trowel. When compared to cementitious waterproofing, this provides greater flexibility. This is due to the fact that when the liquid cures, it forms a rubbery coating on your wall.
In fact, the elongation properties of such a method can reach up to 280 percent. However, it will be determined by the type of polymer used by the manufacturer to apply liquid waterproofing.
