Waterproofing

The performance-related and more practical benefits are quite obvious, but what’s often overlooked is the aesthetic side. With the right treatment and protection, your house will look much better - for much longer.

Bet on reliable manufacturers and industry experts, who have spent years perfecting their formulas to create ultimate waterproofing solutions. Use their knowledge and expertise to protect your home against moisture, mildew, mould, water damage and – costly repairs that come with them all. Small price to pay for peace of mind.

Power of Waterproof Paint

Whether it’s a small project or a full-blown renovation, there are two things we want – they have to look good and stay that way. Waterproof paints offer you a chance to do both! Developed for performance and longevity, they create a strong protective barrier. They provide a durable, long-lasting coating that minimizes the effects of water exposure – flaking, cracking, lifting and peeling.

Our Waterproofing Range

We carry a selection of reinforcement and joint sealing tapes, primers and more to build a real anti-moisture defence system around your house. Let’s take primers – they create a strong foundation for any waterproof paint, ensuring maximum adhesion and longevity. Sealing tapes were designed to add that extra layer of protection for those tricky and most vulnerable places. Easy to apply and effective. Combine them all together, and take your game to a whole new level for the ultimate protection!

Paint Types for Water Protection

Here are the most common waterproofing:

With a special latex-based formula and ceramic materials, it offers both water and mildew-resistant properties with strong adhesion to brick and concrete surfaces. That’s why it can also be easily cleaned with just soap and water.

Epoxy is a kind of plastic resin, which, thanks to its unique properties, helps the paint harden quickly, creating a strong waterproof protective layer. It’s very versatile too – suitable for garage or basement flooring and just as effective on concrete and stone surfaces as it is on metal.

This rubber-like, flexible coating is well-known for its UV and water resistance. Great for various types of surfaces – from wood to concrete and even metal.

Just like the Polyurethane variant, silicone is also a rubber-like material with similar properties, offering an effective and strong waterproof seal, but it’s typically used for roofs and other large surfaces.

Best Places to Use Waterproof Paint

Basements

These spaces deal with dampness and moisture on a daily basis, that’s why protection here shouldn’t be a choice, but a necessity.

Garage Floors

Water, chemicals, spills and that very same dampness – you name it. Garage floors have to deal with a lot, and with an adequate level of protection, you can save yourself some trouble. When waterproofed correctly, they’re easier to clean, maintain and keep in good condition.

Kitchens

Not the first thing we’d normally think about in the context of water damage, but areas around the sink and stove where water as well as steam tend to accumulate – they’re actually quite vulnerable.

Bathrooms

That’s a no-brainer. Walls and ceilings in our bathrooms are at risk all the time due to the very purpose of those spaces. Protection here is a must and a pretty cost-effective solution.

Swimming Pools

It’s obvious there’s a connection between swimming pools and water. What may not be so obvious is that they too could benefit and, in many cases, actually require some form of water damage protection – especially the areas surrounding the pool.

FAQs

Can waterproof paints be used on outdoor surfaces?

Absolutely. These paints are versatile and suitable for both interior and exterior applications, with some specialised variants being the most effective ones in a given setting. They all provide robust protection.

Is a primer necessary before applying waterproof paint?

Yes, using a primer is crucial. It ensures proper adhesion, enhances durability and promotes a seamless finish for your paint.

How do reinforcement tapes complement waterproof paints?

These tapes act as an additional layer, reinforcing vulnerable areas and preventing water seepage. They work in unison with these specialised paints for comprehensive protection.

Is it necessary to hire a professional for waterproofing projects?

While these products can used in DIY applications, consulting a professional is always advisable for larger or more complex projects to ensure optimal results.

How often should I reapply these paints?

The frequency depends on factors such as weather exposure and surface wear. Generally, it's recommended to refresh the coating every 3-5 years for optimal performance, but make sure you check the data sheet of the specific product you’re using.
