ROOF and TERRACE WATERPROOFING

Arcane Industries has invested in research and development of waterproofing solutions for over 20 years now and manufactures and distributes flexible waterproofing systems which apply as easily as a paint to render a seamless, attractive and long-lasting waterproof membrane on your roofs and terraces.

Among our solutions, you will find:

• transparent waterproofing membranes
• seamless elastomeric coatings which come in a wide colour range
• a polyurethane alternative to waterproof roofs and terraces of substandard slope
• a solution to waterproof under or over roof or terrace tiles or wooden decks,

The key to success lies in the understanding of both your specific wants and needs and the different solutions available.

Answer the following questions and check the product diagram below and you'll find the waterproofing solution that gives you both what you want and what you need!

• Is your roof sloped or flat?

• Does your flat roof have a minimum slope or not? (water will pond and stagnate on a substardard slope).

• Will the waterproofing membrane have to prove resistant to frequent or heavy foot traffic?

• What surface finish is present or planned on your roof or terrace (tiling, metal, bituminous, glass)?

• Do you need to waterproof over or under tiles?
