Concrete Roof Deck Waterproofing

The coating becomes an integral part of the surface and provides the necessary protection against the elements.

Concrete roof deck waterproofing.

Industry leading waterproofing solutions for protecting concrete decking and pedestrian surfaces. Gacodeck coatings provide an added measure of safety with slip resistant granules. Applying gacodeck adds the waterproofing layer to a roof deck. The sealer is impermeable provided it is applied correctly and forms a waterproof membrane around the concrete preventing moisture from entering the concrete.

When waterproofing concrete a topical sealer is applied to the surface of the concrete. Once the waterproofing membrane is laid drying out of the structural slab will mostly take place from the underside of the deck. A roof deck supports the roof elements but does not provide complete protection. Topical sealers can be made from acrylic epoxy and polyurethane based materials.

Cross ventilation beneath the deck is usually quite restricted due to erected partition walls. Large amount of water vapour can evaporate from reinforced concrete or a wet screed. Dex o tex waterproofing products offer protection for a wide range of residential and commercial surfaces from pedestrian walkways to parking garages to residential decks and balconies.
