Waterproofing Membranes Melbourne Victoria Phone: 03 8812 2918 http://www.waterproofingfew.com.au F.E.W Waterproofing offer roof protective membranes suited to both new and remedial projects. We offer a range of waterproofing solutions to help property management companies, architects, engineers and tradesmen who face the challenge of waterproofing a rooftop. In line with current environmental standards and work safe practices, Liquid Rubber is made from environmental, stable non-toxic, odourless and non-flammable components. Liquid Rubber is non-hazardous onsite, in transport and under storage.

2. Application of Roof membranes require
thorough Preparation

3. Flat Roof Waterproofing
A project recently completed by F.E.W
Waterproofing
Flat roofs are constantly exposed to the full effects of external weathering.
Unfortunately flat roofs can also be inefficient in their ability to shed
water and therefore can often accumulate water.
This accelerates the deterioration of roof membranes and waterproofing
systems.
They can also harbour more dirt and debris, plus at joints and details
around penetrations, such as service ducts or pipes.
This emphasizes the importance of using
experienced waterproofing applicators, products and
methodology.

4. Preparation for Waterproof Membrane
Waterproofing sealant cannot be applied to
concrete that has not been properly prepared.
Preparing concrete for waterproofing is an
important step in ensuring that the
waterproofing sealer works properly

5. F.E.W Waterproofing takes great care
inspecting all surfaces to be coated.
These must be thoroughly clean prior to installing a
waterproofing membrane.
Smooth, monolithic concrete surfaces are required for
proper membrane adhesion.
Surfaces must be free of voids, spalled areas, loose
aggregates, and sharp protrusions, with no coarse
aggregate visible.
Clean surface (broom, vacuum cleaner or compressed
air) to remove dust, loose stones, and debris.

6. Our Team apply appropriate sealants to all joints,
junctions and surface defects, penetrations.

7. Concrete must be cured and dry before
applications.
Due to the surface being very porous we applied special
environmentally friendly primer to reduce out gassing.
This heavy-duty membrane is used wherever concrete
needs to be protected from the effects of water, salt or
chemical damage both above and below grade and will not
degrade in sunlight.
Importantly unlike bitumen roofing materials, they
require no naked flames on site.

8. When cured the Liquid Rubber membrane is highly elastic
and will bridge small cracks , is seamless and fully adhered
to the surface so no water gets behind the coating.

9. F.E.W Waterproofing
F.E.W WATERPROOFING use water based, environmentally
safe - an alternative to conventional hot applied bitumen or
solvent based protective coatings and easier to use than pre
formed plastic sheeting.
Importantly unlike bitumen roofing materials, they do not require heat
or naked flames on site.
Liquid Rubber provides excellent waterproofing and chemical
resistance through a highly flexible seamless membrane that resists
cracking and aging. Liquid Rubber is unaffected by a wide range of
mild
acids, alkalis, salts and other inorganic chemicals.

10. Applications include poured
concrete and block
foundations, retaining walls,
tunnel liners, parking deck
structures, concrete water
and wastewater containment
tanks and ICF

11. Liquid Rubber provides excellent
waterproofing membranes for roofs.
It is chemical resistance through a highly
flexible seamless membrane that resists
cracking and aging.
Liquid Rubber is unaffected by a wide range
of mild acids, alkalis, salts and other inorganic
chemicals.

12. Unlike adhesive traditional applied sheet
membranes, Liquid Rubber becomes fully and
completely bonded to the substrate.
This prevents tracking of water underneath
the membrane, providing superior protection.
FREE OF FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS - NON-
TOXIC - NO VOC'S - LOW ODOUR & WATER
BASED

13. Waterproofing concrete roofs is important to protect
the surface from excessive moisture and any water
ingress to structure below.
When water seeps into concrete, the concrete
expands and contracts due to cycles of freezing and
thawing.
Cracks and holes may form as a result.
Waterproofing will help protect against this problem.

Structural Waterproofing
Remedial Waterproofing
Concrete Repair
Crack Injection
Environmentally Friendly Protective
Coatings
