What are Liquid Applied Roof Membranes?

Liquid applied roofing membranes are fully-bonded coatings used for waterproofing flat and pitched roofs. They form a seamless, elastomeric waterproof layer that protects against water leakage. These innovative membranes are applied in liquid form, allowing them to adapt to the unique contours of your roof before curing into a durable barrier, and offering a versatile solution that can be applied over various substrates such as concrete, asphalt, and bitumen.

Exceptional Durability, Seamless Finish

One key advantage of liquid applied roofing membranes is their exceptional durability and resistance to various weather conditions. By providing a seamless finish, these membranes effectively prevent leaks, extending the lifespan of your roof. Additionally, their flexibility accommodates the natural movements of buildings without compromising their waterproofing capabilities.

Easy Installation on Flat Roofs

Easy to apply and cost-effective, liquid applied roofing membranes ensure long-lasting protection for both commercial and residential roofs. 

Benefits of Liquid Applied Roofing Membranes

When considering roofing options, the benefits of liquid applied roofing membranes become evident in their seamless waterproofing and exceptional durability. These membranes offer a seamless waterproofing solution, reducing the risk of leaks and water infiltration that can cause damage to your property.

Superior Water Resistance

Their excellent durability and weather resistance ensure long-term protection for your roof, even in harsh conditions. Additionally, the ease and quickness of application save you time and labour costs during installation, making them a practical choice for roofing projects.

Reliable Waterproofing Solutions

Liquid applied roofing membranes are versatile and suitable for various structures and substrates, providing reliable waterproofing solutions tailored to your specific needs. Their flexible nature allows them to adapt to the movement of the building, preventing cracks and damage over time.

Expected Lifespan of Liquid Roof Coatings

With proper installation and maintenance, liquid applied roofing membranes typically offer an expected lifespan of 25 years or more. Here are some factors that can influence the lifespan of liquid applied roofing membranes:

  • Climate conditions play a significant role in determining how long the membrane will last
  • Location: How exposed the roof is to the elements will have an influence.
  • UV exposure can degrade the membrane over time, affecting its durability.
  • Regular inspections, cleaning and maintenance routines can help identify issues early and prevent premature ageing.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of using a flexible, seamless liquid membrane on flat roofs?

Flexible, seamless liquid membranes offer superior waterproofing for flat roofs. They conform to complex shapes, provide long-lasting durability, and are easy to apply. These versatile membranes are ideal for both new and refurbishment projects, offering reliable protection against the elements.

How long does a liquid membrane roof last?

A liquid membrane roof can last 15-25 years or more, depending on product quality, application thickness, installation expertise, and maintenance.

Regular inspections, cleaning, and repairs can extend its lifespan. Recoating offers an additional 15-25 years of protection, providing a cost-effective alternative to complete roof replacement.

Can liquid membrane roofing be used on all types of buildings?

Liquid roofing membranes are versatile and can be used on various building types, including commercial, industrial, residential, and public structures, as well as infrastructure projects.

They are particularly suitable for flat or low-slope roofs and are compatible with green roof systems.

However, proper surface preparation, professional installation, and suitable environmental conditions during application are crucial for optimal performance. Building design, roof slope, and substrate conditions should be assessed to determine if liquid roofing is the best choice.

How to install a liquid waterproof membrane on a roof?

To install a liquid waterproof membrane on your roof, first clean and repair the surface, then apply primer if needed.

Optionally, add reinforcement mat over seams and details. Stir the liquid membrane and apply it evenly in two coats using a brush, roller, or squeegee, allowing curing time between coats.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application thickness and curing times. Protect the membrane from moisture, traffic, and impacts during and after curing.

When properly installed, a liquid membrane forms a seamless, durable waterproofing layer that will protect your roof for years.
