Waterproofing is a critical part of the construction process and if not completed correctly, can be detrimental to the life of the building.
WetSuit® family of products supplies a global solution to the needs for waterproofing in nearly every circumstance, whether it is a vertical, horizontal, below grade application, or split slabs and planter boxes. WetSuit® is a one-stop, high performance solution for all the needs of waterproofing of a construction project.
WetSuit® is particularly well adapted to all situations of vertical waterproofing with the following benefits:
Instant Set
WetSuit®’s two-component mixture gives a rapid set within 3 seconds, allowing any mil thickness to be sprayed vertically without any running or sagging, even taking light rain as soon as it is on the substrate
Cold Applied
The membrane is cold sprayed applied; eliminating torches and kettle hazards, while allowing easy vertical installs and safer work conditions
Environmentally Friendly
All water-based means zero VOC restrictions.
Monolithic Membrane
The tough, seamless, and fully adhered coating results in a difficult to puncture surface. Water is restricted from lateral migration between the wall and membrane during the process.
Cold Resistance
WetSuit® remains flexible down to -35°C; ideal at the freeze/thaw line. Also has excellent elongation and recovery.
WetSuit® offers high-performing solutions for waterproofing horizontal surfaces, like Plaza Decks, Ponds, fountains, etc. with the following benefits:
No Slope / Pitch Required
The WetSuit® membrane has been used in fountains, planters, and ponds. It has performed well in submerged and wet conditions where contact with water is constant. This type of application is fully warrantable.
Rapid Application
With a cold spray applied production of 1500 sq feet per hour with a crew of three and a 77m hose-mounted cart for easy access to difficult areas, the WetSuit® membrane is quick and easy to install.
Any Thickness in One Coat
WetSuit® can be installed at any thickness above the specified to help build low laying areas and redirect water to drains, or to fill imperfections and cracks
UV Stable
Unlike other fluid applied membranes, WetSuit® can be exposed indefinitely without UV damage. Therefore, construction can proceed at its own pace
New Construction or Restoration
WetSuit® is the ideal choice for both new and renovation projects. The membrane can cover and adhere to a variety of existing surfaces. Also giving the ability to be dried in at the end of every day makes WetSuit® the best choice for phased construction with little to zero slope and difficult detailing.
We put the ‘roof’ in waterproof.
The WetSuit® membrane has been successfully used in fountains, planters, ponds, and other applications where contact with water is expected. WetSuit® has many features that allow it to be successful in this type of application, including the ability to resist punctures from roots.
A Green Membrane for a Green Roof
Design
Because garden roof design is virtually limitless, each project will be unique and designed to meet specific objectives. The WetSuit® membrane can be installed to any millimetre thickness in one coat, either horizontally or vertically, allowing freedom of design for the roof deck. Our experienced staff work closely with your team, from early design to detail and specification development, to make sure these project objectives are met.
Rapid Retrofits
WetSuit® is an ideal system for green roof retrofits, where existing roofs can simply be cleaned and rapidly sealed with the WetSuit® membrane. Often, existing roofs are on the verge of being too old to place a garden roof over. The lightweight WetSuit® membrane can build upon the base of the existing roof, creating a multi-layer, monolithic system, without the need for costly replacements while delivering warranties of up to 20 years.
*structural assessment by a qualified engineer should be completed prior to the application.
