A common question our contract roof coating applicators and coatings end users get is what is the best waterproofing paint that we offer? This needs more qualification to answer as a water proof coating such as a roof coating can vary from something that is a continually submerged with high exposure to salt water through to a domestic home looking to run water into a water tank. The waterproof coating we would use may differ by the application and we would recommend a different product.
There are three very important questions that come into play when evaluating what type of a waterproof coating (or waterproof paint as some people like to refer to it) is needed. The answer to these questions will help our paint and coating technicians give you the best product.
No 1. Is the area being waterproofed going to be subjected to continual ponding of water or is it only when it rains? You can see in the image below that the drainage is quite poor and the potential for ponding is significant
No 2. What is the substrate that the coating will be going on? For example is a roofing bitumen that is existing or a epoxy coating?
No 3. What condition is the substrate in and the existing coating?
These are just a few things to consider. the best bet is to speak with one of our expert paint coating sales technicians before purchasing and get some expert advice.
Waterproofing paint comes in a variety of brands and a variety of applications so always contact one of the sales team first before purchasing.
