Waterproofing Systems

The system matters
as much as the skill

The wrong membrane on the right surface still fails. Here's how we choose between the six systems we apply, and where each one belongs.

System 01

Torch Membrane Waterproofing

Modified bitumen sheets heat-fused directly onto the substrate with a torch, forming a thick, continuous, heavy-duty barrier. The standard choice for large flat roofs and podium decks that need long-term durability.

Best forFlat roofs, podiums
ApplicationHeat-fused sheet
StrengthHigh durability
FlexibilityModerate

Why we recommend it

Torch membrane gives the thickest, most continuous barrier of any system we apply — ideal where the roof will be walked on, exposed to standing water, or covered by pavers.

Why we recommend it

PU cures into a fully bonded, seamless coat with no joints or laps to fail — the right choice anywhere the shape is irregular, like a shower tray or balcony upstand.

System 02

PU Waterproofing

A liquid-applied polyurethane coating that cures into a seamless, highly flexible membrane. It moves with the structure rather than cracking, making it the standard for bathrooms, balconies and complex shapes.

Best forBathrooms, balconies
ApplicationLiquid-applied
StrengthSeamless bond
FlexibilityVery high
System 03

APP Membrane Waterproofing

Atactic Polypropylene modified bitumen, engineered for high UV resistance and stability under prolonged sun exposure — a strong fit for exposed rooftops that sit in direct Dubai sun year-round.

Best forSun-exposed roofs
ApplicationHeat-fused sheet
UV resistanceVery high
FlexibilityModerate

Why we recommend it

APP membrane holds its surface integrity under sustained heat and UV better than standard bitumen, reducing the surface cracking common on unshaded Dubai rooftops.

Why we recommend it

SBS stretches and recovers with the roof deck's daily heat expansion and contraction, resisting the fine cracking that rigid systems develop over time.

System 04

SBS Membrane Waterproofing

Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene modified bitumen, prized for elasticity across a wide temperature range — the right call on roofs experiencing repeated thermal movement.

Best forRoofs w/ movement
ApplicationHeat-fused sheet
ElasticityExcellent
FlexibilityVery high
System 05

Acrylic Waterproofing

A breathable, elastic acrylic coating applied to exterior walls and parapets. It sheds light rainfall and resists sun degradation while still letting trapped moisture escape from within the wall.

Best forExterior walls
ApplicationRoller/spray coat
BreathabilityHigh
FlexibilityHigh

Why we recommend it

Because it's breathable, acrylic coating won't trap existing dampness inside a wall — critical when treating walls that already show damp staining.

Why we recommend it

Cementitious systems bond directly to concrete and resist constant water pressure from one side — exactly the condition inside a basement wall or water tank.

System 06

Cementitious Waterproofing

A rigid, cement-based coating with strong mechanical bond to concrete — the standard for structures under constant water pressure like basements, tanks and swimming pools.

Best forTanks, basements, pools
ApplicationTrowel/brush coat
Water pressure resistanceVery high
FlexibilityLow
