Waterproofing Solutions

Protect commercial buildings from water intrusion with silicone technologies designed to create durable barriers across roofs, façades, joints, and critical building transitions.
Quick links

Water intrusion is one of the most common causes of building deterioration, affecting roofs, façades, joints, glazing systems, and other critical transitions throughout a structure.

Our silicone waterproofing solutions help protect commercial and industrial buildings by creating durable, flexible barriers designed to manage water exposure, movement, and changing environmental conditions. From seamless roof coatings and air and water barrier systems to weatherseal joints and facade protection, our technologies help prevent moisture-related damage while supporting long-term building performance.

Protect Multiple Building Systems

Waterproofing challenges can occur across the entire building envelope. Silicone solutions provide protection for roofs, façades, glazing systems, air and water barriers, and other vulnerable areas where water intrusion can occur.

Prevent Water Intrusion and Moisture Damage

Silicone technologies help create durable protective barriers that reduce water penetration and protect critical building components from leaks, deterioration, and moisture-related damage.

Maintain Flexibility Through Building Movement

Buildings naturally expand, contract, and move over time. Flexible silicone sealants and coatings accommodate movement while maintaining long-term protection at joints, transitions, and exposed surfaces.

Reduce Maintenance and Extend Building Performance

Durable waterproofing solutions help protect assets from premature deterioration, reducing maintenance requirements and supporting longer service life for critical building components.

FAQs

Where are waterproofing systems used in commercial buildings?

Waterproofing solutions are used across roofs, façades, glazing systems, joints, transitions, and wall assemblies where buildings are exposed to weather and moisture.

What is the difference between waterproofing and weathersealing?

Waterproofing focuses on preventing water intrusion and protecting building assemblies, while weathersealing typically refers to sealing joints, gaps, and transitions against environmental exposure.

Why are silicone materials used for waterproofing?

Silicone materials provide flexibility, durability, weather resistance, and strong adhesion across many construction substrates. These properties allow them to perform under changing temperatures, movement, and long-term exposure.

Can waterproofing solutions be used in both new construction and restoration?

Yes. Silicone waterproofing technologies are used in both new construction and restoration projects to help protect new buildings and extend the service life of existing structures.

What substrates can silicone waterproofing products be used on?

Depending on the application, silicone technologies can be used on substrates including concrete, masonry, brick, metal, glass, precast panels, EIFS, stucco, roofing materials, and other common construction surfaces.
