Waterproofing · Tanzania

Waterproofing, part by part.

Pick the part of the building. See the 26 Mapei, Oriental Yuhong and X-Calibur products we hold in Dar es Salaam that are made for it, each with the line of its own data sheet that says so.

Where is the water getting in?

Tap the drawing or a chip. The waterproofing layer comes first, then what goes with it at the corners, joints and finish.

Flat roof

Sun and heavy rain on the same slab: the coating has to stay flexible and the edges, outlets and upstands are where water gets in.

The waterproofing layer

With it: joints, corners, leaks, finish

Oriental Yuhong · Polyurethane joint sealantYHPUseal-2925Its data sheet: “Typical applications include joints in concrete panel and wall systems, around window and door frame, flashing, common roofing detail applications”

Not for this

Mapei Antipluviol: A water repellent for walls, not a roof coating. Its data sheet: “not for horizontal surfaces, such as terraces and flat roofs (use UltraCare Stain Protector W or UltraCare Stain Protector S)”.

Ask us about the flat roof

Each product is listed only where its manufacturer's data sheet names that use, quoted word for word. The order is not a ranking. The right system also depends on the substrate, the water pressure and the finish: send us the details and confirm against the current data sheet before you specify. Every product page has a BOQ clause ready to paste.

Keep going.
