1. What are the advantages of liquid waterproofing?

Liquid applied membranes can be beneficial for many reasons, including:

Highly effective –  This type of waterproofing membrane is normally applied by hand or in spray form onto the substrate and cured to create a solid. As the spray forms a single membrane, this means no seams to worry about. This is beneficial as seams are usually highly susceptible to water penetration.

Quick –  It is often speedier to implement than the liquid membrane sheet.

Ease where there is detailing –  This type of waterproofing is helpful in areas where there is a lot of detail. There is no need to cut sheet membrane customized to every detail, waterproofing spray applicators do this with ease.
