continuously changing requirements of our customers.
Roofs are exposed to severe weather conditions throughout the year. If
not waterproofed, it leads to damp patches on ceilings, resulting in water
seepage, thus impacting the durability of the structure.

Conventional method of waterproofing like Brickbat coba has its


limitations. It is an excellent system for slope, but not for waterproofing.
Brickbat coba is inelastic and hence cracks due to thermal stress. It
stores water and allows water seepage into interiors. Contrary to the
popular belief it has very low insulating properties and rather proves to
be dead weight on roofs.
