Transparent waterproofing coating
Transparent waterproofing coating
In construction, it is crucial that facades, roofs, terraces, and protruding structures are properly waterproofed. Otherwise, they will suffer damage from moisture, pollution, or rain, among other factors.
Inadequate waterproofing can lead to issues like leaks or micro-cracks, resulting in higher repair and maintenance costs. Even when the surface looks well maintained, invisible leaks can occur, which is why applying a proper waterproofing system is extremely important.
Transparent liquid waterproofing to preserve aesthetics
When preserving the original aesthetic of a facade, roof, or terrace is paramount, a transparent waterproof coating is the solution. It creates a uniform, sealing membrane that maintains the original architectural appearance.
Whether for new construction projects or renovations, applying a transparent liquid waterproofing product is an investment that reduces maintenance costs, repairs any existing issues, and prevents medium- and long-term structural problems.
Using a clear waterproofing resin like Clearcoat seals the surface where it is applied, both horizontally and vertically, and provides waterproofing while preserving the original architectural aesthetic and protecting against adverse weather conditions and the passage of time.
Advantages of applying a transparent waterproof coating
Among the many benefits of using a transparent waterproofing resin like Clearcoat, the following stand out:
- It withstands foot traffic, making it ideal not only for facades and roofs, but also for walkable terraces and balconies.
- It adheres well, forming a firm and fully waterproof layer.
- It offers high durability, providing reliable protection against adverse weather conditions.
- It adapts to any surface, forming a continuous, jointless coating, and is ideal for application on tiles, natural stone, and wood.
How to apply a transparent waterproof coating
Before applying this clear waterproofing resin, it’s crucial to understand the steps to follow.
Surface cleaning and preparation
Before applying the clear liquid waterproofing product, the surface must be properly prepared. To do this, the surface must be free of dust, grease, moss, loose gravel, etc. Any cracks must be properly treated.
Applying the clear liquid waterproofing compound
In this step, without prior priming, the clear waterproofing resin is applied in two coats, using 0.5 kg/m2 per coat. The resin will be dry to the touch in 2 to 6 hours, depending on weather conditions.
Using clear liquid waterproofing as a finish
If the clear waterproofing resin is used as a finish, it should be applied in a thin layer over the Ultraflex system’s slip-resistant finish once it has dried.
