🏠 Reinforced Concrete Roofs & Terraces: Functional Spaces with Critical Waterproofing Needs
In modern residential and commercial construction, reinforced concrete roofs and terraces are commonly used not just as structural elements but as valuable extensions of living space. Especially in urban settings, terraces offer a way to utilize otherwise idle rooftop areas—transforming them into gardens, lounges, or communal zones.
However, this transformation brings a critical challenge: waterproofing. Since these terraces are exposed to weather and often used as active living areas, they require robust protection against water infiltration.
Why PVC Membranes?
- UV Resistance: These membranes can serve as the final exposed layer, thanks to their durability under direct sunlight.
- Foot Traffic Compatibility: On terraces with high pedestrian activity, the membranes can be protected and integrated into the design without compromising performance.
- Long-Term Reliability: Their thermoplastic composition (based on polypropylene or similar polymers) ensures flexibility,chemical resistance, and longevity.
In essence, the use of PVC membranes on reinforced concrete roofs and terraces is not just a technical choice—it’s a strategic one for maximizing space while ensuring structural integrity and comfort.
