Character Of The Issue – Requirements

Waterproofing systems for aging tiled roofs are crucial, as the natural materials, such as clay or concrete, deteriorate over time, compromising their capacity to repel water. This degradation can lead to moisture absorption, structural damage, and leaks. Older tiled roofs commonly face challenges with waterproofing due to the increasing porosity of the tiles, the degradation of the mortar that binds them, and the failure of the underlying underlayment.

Therefore, it is essential to implement solutions that are seamless and provide a sustainable barrier against water infiltration.

Preparation of the substrate

Thoroughly clean the existing tiles to ensure a clean, dry substrate. Inspect the membrane for any signs of damage, such as blisters, tears, or detached sections, and make the necessary repairs. Apply PC-Prime® DLS using a brush, roller, or airless spray.
