Waterproofing coatings are a type of material used to provide a waterproof barrier to a surface or structure. These coatings are applied on surfaces such as roofs, foundations, walls, and floors to protect them from water damage and leaks.
Some common types of waterproofing coatings include:
Bituminous coatings: These are made of bitumen, a type of asphalt material, and are commonly used for waterproofing roofs and foundations.
Polyurethane coatings: These are synthetic coatings that are applied as a liquid and cure to form a flexible, waterproof membrane. Polyurethane coatings are commonly used for roofs, balconies, and walls.
Acrylic coatings: These are water-based coatings that form a waterproof layer when they dry. Acrylic coatings are commonly used for roofs, walls, and foundations.
Cementitious coatings: These are cement-based coatings that are applied as a slurry and can be used for waterproofing concrete surfaces such as walls, floors, and basements.
