Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
The construction industry is going through tremendous technological advances for its waterproofing systems. While, over the course of the last few years, companies have been introducing various software solutions to imbue more technology into waterproofing approaches, right now, the sector is utilizing technology and advanced materials to make waterproofing more long-lasting and eco-friendly.
In that regard, one of the major advances in waterproofing is the invention of torch on membrane. Torch on membrane, as the name describes, is a membrane that’s applied to a surface with a torch, which waterproofs the area. This is mainly used on waterproofing flat roofs, wherein substances such as polyurethane or bitumen are used and heat-fused (welded) together to form one continuous waterproof membrane.
Alongside this, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) waterproofing systems are also witnessing tremendous growth in the recent years, due to a variety of outstanding characteristics like longevity, durability, low lifecycle costs, energy efficiency, and heat and solar reflectance. These waterproofing systems are fully bonded and offers manufacturers high waterproofing safety, ease of maintenance, and flexibility of installation. Similar to this, even Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) waterproofing membranes are being used due to their high resistance to tears, impacts, and punctures, giving manufacturers the much-needed flexibility when it comes to waterproofing solutions.
At this juncture, there are a variety of waterproofing companies available in the market that cater to the different needs of enterprises. To help them choose the company that best fits their requirement, Construction Business Review has compiled a list of the top 10 waterproofing companies in the APAC region. Besides, the magazine also comprises insights from thought leaders in the sector on the industry trends, best practices, recent innovations, and their advice for aspiring CIOs and CXOs.
