Walkways and balconies, essential elements in many commercial and residential properties, are constantly exposed to harsh weather, making them vulnerable to water ingress. This in turn can lead to structural damage, mould growth and safety hazards.
Proteus Waterproofing offers an extensive range of liquid applied membranes specifically designed to protect walkways and balconies from water damage. Our liquid applied membranes have reduced curing times, are colour stable, UV stable, and skid resistant - suitable for various refurbishment projects.
Benefits of Liquid Applied Membranes
Liquid applied membranes have several benefits compared to traditional waterproofing methods, such as:
• UV stable, preventing fading and discoloration over time
• Incorporates skid-resistant additives to ensure safety for pedestrians and vehicles, particularly under wet or icy conditions
• Ideal for refurbishment projects, as they can be applied to a variety of existing substrates, including concrete, asphalt, and timber
• They are cold applied, eliminating the need for open flames or hot works. This makes them a safer choice for both contractors and members of the public
Types of Applications
Liquid applied membranes can be used to waterproof a wide range of different types of walkways, balconies and terraces. They include:
• Pedestrian walkways in commercial and residential settings. They provide a durable, skid resistant surface that is easy to maintain.
• Vehicle ramps and walkways in car parks and other industrial environments. They offer superior protection against heavy traffic and chemical spills.
