1. Torch-Applied Membrane Waterproofing

A common method where a bitumen sheet is heated with a torch and bonded to the surface, creating a tight seal.

Best for: Roofs, terraces, and open decks.

2. Self-Adhesive Membrane Waterproofing

A peel-and-stick sheet of bitumen modified with polymers. Easy to apply and perfect for interior or enclosed areas where open flame usage is not possible.

3. Liquid-Applied Bituminous Coating

Applied with a roller or spray, this method forms a seamless, joint-free waterproof barrier.

Best for: Bathrooms, basements, and foundation walls.
