Liquid Waterproofing Membranes And Applications for Rooftops

waterproofing

Advancements in modern technology have introduced water-based liquid waterproofing membranes that offer innovative solutions for the construction and building maintenance industries. These simple, ready-to-use products form an effective barrier against water, humidity, and the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, making them ideal for protecting rooftops, terraces, and balconies.

The emergence of liquid waterproofing has significantly transformed the industry. Professional roofers and waterproofing specialists have readily embraced these new solutions, as they simplify the application process while ensuring accurate and effective waterproofing without material waste. Additionally, the water-based nature of these membranes eliminates the need for gas tanks and the associated safety concerns involved in the traditional "burning" of bituminous membranes.

Winkler Waterproofing Systems has been a pioneer in this field, creating Wingum Plus H2O - a colored, ready-to-use, fibered, water-based elastomeric waterproofing liquid membrane. This innovative product offers extraordinary resistance to water stagnation, aging, and UV ray exposure, making it a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of waterproofing applications.

The advancements in liquid waterproofing membranes have revolutionized the construction and building maintenance industries, providing efficient, safe, and effective waterproofing solutions that can be easily applied to protect various structures, including rooftops, terraces, and balconies, from the damaging effects of water, humidity, and environmental factors.

Characteristics and Versatile Applications of Liquid Waterproofing Membranes

The Wingum Plus H2O waterproofing liquid membrane, with its creamy and easy-to-apply nature, is suitable for a wide variety of uses. Its user-friendly application with a simple brush allows for easy access to almost inaccessible areas, ensuring that critical zones for overall waterproofing quality are continuously and completely covered, guaranteeing the total protection of surfaces.

This versatility is particularly beneficial in addressing challenging areas that are prone to water accumulation and constant humidity, such as:

- Joints between floors and walls

- Around chimneys and exhaust pipes on flat roofs

- Along the perimeter of balconies and terraces, near gutters

In these critical locations, where there is a greater concentration of water, the liquid waterproofing membrane can be applied seamlessly to provide comprehensive protection, effectively sealing off potential entry points for water and humidity.

The ease of application and the membrane's ability to conform to complex surfaces make it an ideal choice for achieving complete and reliable waterproofing, even in hard-to-reach areas. This comprehensive coverage helps to safeguard the entire waterproofing system, ensuring the long-term integrity and performance of the protected surfaces.

The versatility and user-friendly application of liquid waterproofing membranes, as exemplified by Wingum Plus H2O, make them a valuable solution for addressing a wide range of waterproofing challenges in the construction and building maintenance industries.

Comprehensive Waterproofing with Liquid Membrane Solutions

The Wingum Plus H2O liquid waterproofing membrane performs a valuable task in both external and internal building environments. Externally, on flat roofs, terraces, and balconies, it effectively protects against the detrimental effects of rain, freeze-thaw cycles, the corrosive action of stagnant water, and the intense wind and saline conditions found near coastal areas. Internally, the membrane is equally effective in areas prone to steam and water exposure, such as bathrooms and showers.

Winkler's products are designed with a strong emphasis on quality and long-lasting performance. Furthermore, these water-based solutions prioritize human health and environmental sustainability, as they eliminate the heavy solvent odors associated with traditional solvent-based products. This not only benefits the installers but also ensures a safer environment for those who will occupy the building.

The misconception that "a product that does not stink does not work" has been proven wrong by the advancements in modern technologies. Water-based solutions are the result of research and investment, aimed at creating safe and high-performing waterproofing technologies.

Liquid water-based membranes offer several advantages over traditional waterproofing methods. They can be applied to damp, very damp, or even wet substrates, and their effectiveness remains even in the presence of constant humidity. These membranes can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including wood, brick, metal, fiber cement, and even completely oxidized wet bitumen polymer membranes.

Additionally, liquid waterproofing membranes have the distinct advantage of being highly walkable and resistant to wear and puncture. This allows them to accommodate the placement of tables, chairs, and other furniture without compromising their waterproofing properties.

The versatility, performance, and sustainability of water-based liquid waterproofing membranes, such as Wingum Plus H2O, make them a preferred choice for comprehensive and long-lasting protection in both external and internal building applications.

Liquid Membranes: Versatile Solutions for Damaged Surfaces and Wall Waterproofing

Liquid waterproofing membranes, such as Wingum Plus H2O, offer a viable solution for addressing a variety of waterproofing challenges, including those involving damaged surfaces and vertical wall applications.

Wingum Plus H2O provides an effective barrier against water stagnation, making it particularly suitable for use on terraces and balconies. Beyond their primary prevention function, these liquid waterproofing membranes can also serve as a solution for deteriorated or weather-damaged bituminous membranes.

Owing to their exceptional elasticity, these products are highly resistant to aging and thermal shocks, allowing them to be applied both horizontally and vertically. This versatility enables their use in a wide range of applications, including:

- Waterproofing of foundations

- Waterproofing of commercial terraces, regardless of slope

- Waterproofing of concrete tanks and gutters

- Sealing of chimneys

The waterproofing of vertical surfaces is a standout feature of these liquid membrane solutions. Traditional roll-based membranes may not be suitable for wall applications, but liquid membranes excel in this area. They possess characteristics that allow for perfect adhesion to vertical surfaces, making them particularly valuable for waterproofing walls with ground contact, such as in cellars, garages, and other areas prone to humidity.

High-quality, water-based, bituminous, or resin-formulated waterproofing membranes, like Wingum Plus H2O, are ready-to-use products that do not require the addition of primers or water. They offer versatile solutions in a wide range of situations, requiring only the proper cleaning of the horizontal or vertical surfaces to ensure effective and long-lasting performance.
