Protective Roof & Surface Coatings

Our coating solutions are applied after Torch-On Waterproofing and Flat Roof Waterproofing to extend lifespan and improve performance in Johannesburg’s climate.

Where Protective Coatings Are Used

Protective coatings are recommended in specific applications where waterproofing systems require additional surface protection or finishing.

Roof Coatings

Applied over torch-on membranes or flat roof waterproofing systems to:

Flat Roof Surface Protection

Used on concrete and flat roof structures after waterproofing to:

Wall & Surface Coatings

Protective coatings may be applied after crack repair and waterproofing, where surface sealing is required. This is not decorative painting, but a functional protective layer.

Need a Complete Waterproofing Solution?

Protective coatings form part of a proper waterproofing system, not a quick fix. Book a professional inspection to determine whether torch-on waterproofing, flat roof waterproofing, or surface protection is required.

Why Coatings Are Not a Standalone Service

Applying coatings without proper waterproofing often leads to:

Trapped Moisture

Moisture locked beneath coatings can weaken surfaces over time and cause hidden structural damage.

Peeling

Built-up moisture pressure causes coatings to lose adhesion and peel prematurely.

Early Failure

Incorrect diagnosis leads to waterproofing systems failing far sooner than expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a protective roof coating?

A protective coating is a specialised layer applied after waterproofing to improve UV resistance, reduce heat absorption, and extend the life of your waterproofing system.

When should coatings be applied?

Coatings are best applied after the primary waterproofing system is installed and only when the surface requires additional protection or sealing.

Can coatings be applied over existing waterproofing?

Yes but only after a professional inspection confirms the waterproofing system is sound and the surface is properly prepared.

Do coatings stop leaks on their own?

No. Coatings enhance and protect waterproofing systems, but they cannot replace proper waterproofing or repair leaking surfaces.

How long do protective coatings last?

The lifespan depends on the surface, exposure, and maintenance but coatings are designed to extend the life of your waterproofing when applied correctly.
