Systems such as ULTRAFLEX, COOLTOP and ULTRAFLEX PW contribute to improving energy efficiency, extending building lifespan, and optimizing water management in urban environments.
In Europe, buildings account for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to data from the European Commission. In this context, the construction sector plays a key role in achieving the sustainability and decarbonization targets set by the 2030 Agenda and the European Green Deal.
Beyond energy efficiency or construction materials, building durability has become a key factor in reducing the environmental impact of the building stock. In this regard, waterproofing plays a strategic role
“Sustainability in construction no longer depends solely on materials or energy efficiency. The durability of construction systems and the reduction of future maintenance are increasingly important factors,” says Gemma Mogas, Partner and General Manager of Eagle Waterproofing Ibérica, the European subsidiary of Eagle Group.
A properly installed waterproofing system not only protects structures from leaks and moisture. It also helps extend the service life of buildings, reduce maintenance interventions, improve thermal comfort, and optimize the energy performance of roofs and building envelopes.
In addition, solutions such as green roofs, reflective roofs, and rainwater storage and reuse systems are gaining importance in urban environments as tools to combat the urban heat island effect, improve water management, and move toward more sustainable cities.
Technical solutions adapted to new urban challenges
In response to these needs, Eagle Waterproofing continues to develop waterproofing systems designed to improve building efficiency, durability, and energy performance, both in new construction and renovation.
Among the solutions gaining traction in renovation and energy efficiency projects is ULTRAFLEX®, Eagle Waterproofing’s flagship liquid waterproofing system and currently one of the most in-demand solutions among specialized technicians and applicators.
This single-component polyurethane liquid membrane, cold-applied using a wet-on-wet system, eliminates waiting times between layers and simplifies installation, offering an efficient and adaptable solution for all types of roofs and substrates.
In addition to its ease of application, ULTRAFLEX® holds European Technical Assessment (ETA) and British Board of Agrément (BBA) certifications, confirming a service life of over 25 years and suitability for green roofs and sustainable refurbishment systems.
Roof energy efficiency
Eagle Waterproofing also promotes solutions focused on roof energy efficiency, such as COOLTOP®, a reflective coating designed to reduce heat absorption and minimize surface temperatures on roofs exposed to high temperatures and solar radiation.
These cool roof systems help reduce building overheating, improve indoor comfort, and lower energy consumption related to air conditioning, especially during periods of high temperatures.
The company also develops solutions for water management and storage, such as ULTRAFLEX PW, a liquid membrane suitable for permanent contact with potable water, particularly designed for tanks, stormwater basins, canals, or rainwater reuse systems.
“More and more architects, technicians, and applicators are looking for solutions that not only waterproof, but also improve building efficiency and reduce future interventions. That is where we believe liquid waterproofing plays a key role in sustainable construction,” Mogas explains.
Building today with the future in mind
The need to refurbish buildings, improve energy efficiency, and adapt cities to increasingly extreme climate events is driving demand for more efficient, durable, and sustainable construction solutions.
In this context, Eagle Waterproofing continues to invest in technologies capable of addressing the real challenges of modern construction: faster-to-apply systems, more efficient solutions, and long-term performance guarantees.
Every day, more and more technicians, architects, applicators, and industry professionals trust solutions such as ULTRAFLEX®, COOLTOP®, or ULTRAFLEX PW to improve the performance, durability, and sustainability of their projects.
