Waterproofing Materials

Adheseal supplies complete waterproofing systems for bathrooms, showers, balconies, decks, roofs, basements, retaining walls, planter boxes and civil construction. Use this hub to choose the right part of the system: substrate preparation and primers, waterproofing membranes, joints and bond breakers, reinforcement, drainage and protection, then sealants and sealers for the finished detail.

Shop waterproofing in three steps

Prepare: Start with the correct primer or moisture-control system for the substrate. Dense, damp, porous and contaminated surfaces can require very different preparation.

Waterproof: Browse waterproofing membranes for liquid, sheet and cementitious systems used across wet areas, roofs, balconies and below-ground work.

Detail: Corners, joints, penetrations and drainage points are where waterproofing systems are most vulnerable. Use compatible bond breakers, reinforcement, waterstops, sealants and drainage components to complete the specified system.

Waterproofing products by application

• Bathrooms and showers: Under-tile membranes, primers, bond breakers and wet-area detailing.
• Balconies and decks: UV-stable, trafficable or under-tile systems depending on the final finish.
• Roofs: Exposed and protected membrane systems designed for weather and movement.
• Basements and retaining walls: Positive-side, below-ground and negative-side waterproofing options.
• Planter boxes, pools and tanks: Systems selected for immersion, soil contact or continuous moisture exposure where approved.

Choose waterproofing as a complete system

Primer, membrane, reinforcement, sealant and protection should be selected as a compatible system rather than mixed only by chemistry or price. Check the current technical data for approved substrates, film thickness, coverage, reinforcement, cure time, UV exposure, immersion and compatible finishes. For help narrowing the range, start with the application and service conditions, then select the membrane and its required preparation and detailing products.
