1. What is polyurea waterproofing?
Polyurea is a spray-applied, fast-curing waterproof membrane that forms a seamless and highly durable coating. It’s commonly used in roofs, basements, carparks, and water tanks due to its resistance to water, chemicals, and abrasion.

2. Is polyurea better than traditional waterproofing systems?
Yes. Polyurea offers faster curing, higher durability, no seams or joints, and greater chemical resistance compared to traditional membranes like PU coatings, bitumen, or torch-on systems.

3. Where can polyurea waterproofing be applied?
It’s suitable for:

• Concrete rooftops
• Basement walls
• Retaining structures
• Water features and swimming pools
• Industrial floors
• Carpark decks and ramps
• Planter boxes and podiums

4. How long does polyurea waterproofing last?
The lifespan of polyurea systems can range from 15 to 25 years or longer, depending on exposure and maintenance. Its durability often outperforms other waterproofing systems, especially in harsh environments.

5. Is polyurea safe and eco-friendly?
When applied correctly, polyurea is non-toxic, VOC-compliant, and safe for potable water contact in many formulations. It’s a sustainable option due to its long service life and reduced need for frequent repairs.

6. How fast can it be installed?
Polyurea cures within seconds after spraying. Most projects can be completed within a day or two, even large areas—minimising downtime and allowing for rapid project turnover.

7. What surface preparation is needed before applying polyurea?
Proper preparation is crucial:

• The surface needs to be contaminant-free, dry, and clean
• Often involves grinding or shot blasting
• Application of a suitable primer ensures long-term adhesion

8. Is polyurea waterproofing expensive?
While the initial cost is higher, polyurea offers better value in the long term due to its:

• Low maintenance needs
• Long lifespan
• Faster project completion
• Reduced failure risk
