Method · Liquid-applied waterproofing

A seamless membrane that moves with the roof.

Liquid polyurethane cures into a rubbery, highly elastic membrane — for outdoor roofs and decks that move with the heat.

What it is

What it is

A liquid polyurethane membrane that cures into a rubbery, highly elastic film. Aliphatic grades are UV-stable, and many can be left exposed.

Choose it when

Outdoor roofs and decks that move with heat and need a seamless, flexible membrane.

Keep in mind

Standard grades are protected by a UV top coat where exposed; many aliphatic grades need none (per the data sheet).

How it is built

Layers (built up from the bottom)

  1. UV-resistant top coatWhere needed

    Shields the membrane from sunlight, fading and wear.

  2. Liquid polyurethane membrane (2 coats)

    Seamless membrane that stretches to follow cracks.

  3. Primer

    Soaks into the concrete so the membrane bonds firmly.

  4. Concrete substrateSubstrate

    Clean, dry concrete, ready to receive the system.

The figure shows one typical build-up. The actual layers are decided after we see the site.

How we install & check

Survey first

We inspect the substrate — moisture, cracks, laitance — before choosing the system. A wrong substrate defeats any membrane.

Build in layers

Primer → body coat (the working membrane, 1–2 coats) → top coat when UV or chemicals need it. Each layer waits its own cure time before the next.

Prove it holds water

Roofs and tanks get a water (ponding) test before handover; the result is signed off jointly.

Other liquid membranes, by use

Liquid membranes are chosen by where they go and the conditions on site. If another one fits better, we will say so.

Common problem

Questions

What decides the price?

The area, the state of the substrate (cracks, wet spots, or an old membrane to remove), the system and number of layers, whether it is exposed to the sun, and the hours we can work. Send photos and drawings on LINE and we will check the site and quote.

Does it need a top coat?

The standard grade is protected with a UV top coat where it is exposed. Aliphatic grades are UV-stable, and many need no top coat — we follow the data sheet for the grade chosen.

Can it go on a damp substrate?

Substrate moisture is measured before we apply, and the system is chosen for damp or dry substrates accordingly. For basins, pits and enclosed damp areas there is STPE, which goes onto damp (not wet) substrates, often with no primer.

By industry

Tell us where it leaks.

Send the area, the substrate and a few photos. We check the site and propose the membrane that fits.
