Roofs are the most stressed part of a building. The roofing membrane is exposed to a diversity of agents that accelerate the degradation of the material. Sunlight, UV radiation, wind, pollution, snow and frost, temperature fluctuations, hail and lightning storms are only a few of the big list of influences that the membrane is exposed on a flat roof. Also, the huge diversity of equipments (AC, chimneys, etc) that are normally installed on flat roofs, can easily promote the premature aging of the materials and reduce its lifespan. Therefore, the roofing membranes need to be highly resistant and have a lasting life protecting the roof without interfering with the environment.
Concrete roofs are often difficult to waterproof with membranes due to numerous penetrations and complex geometry. KÖSTER has developed several liquid applied elastic waterproofing systems for roofs based on different types of technologies from the mineral base material to the MS polymer technology. Any of the options available are directly applied onto the prepared concrete substrate by roller, brush or spraying.
