Tanking & Waterproofing

Tanking products in New Zealand include various materials designed for effective waterproofing in different settings. Bituminous membranes provide durable protection for basements and retaining walls, while polyurethane membranes offer flexible, seamless coatings for wet areas like bathrooms and balconies. Cementitious coatings are ideal for concrete structures such as water tanks and foundations, and PVC or HDPE liners serve as plastic-based solutions for underground or industrial applications. Additionally, bentonite sheets, self-sealing clay membranes activated by water, are commonly used in below-ground environments for reliable moisture resistance.

Waterproofing products include a range of solutions tailored to protect structures from moisture damage. Waterproofing membranes are typically liquid rubber or sheet. Liquid rubber membranes are spray or brush-applied to create seamless barriers, commonly used on roofs and terraces while waterproofing paints and sealers provide surface protection for walls, decks, and roofs. Sheet membranes, available as pre-fabricated rolls, are ideal for flat roofs, terraces, or basement tanking. Flashing tapes and waterproofing sealants are flexible options for sealing joints, edges, and gaps, often complementing other waterproofing systems. Additionally, drainage systems and boards, such as mats and cavity drain membranes, help manage water flow and pressure in below-ground spaces, ensuring comprehensive moisture control.

To choose the best tanking and waterproofing products you need to consider the specific area and purpose, such as below-ground spaces, wet areas, or external surfaces, and assess the level of exposure to water or moisture. You need to understand the compatibility of the product with the construction material, whether it's concrete, wood, or metal, and ensure it meets the New Zealand building code and waterproofing standards. Factors like durability, ease of application, and maintenance requirements should also be considered, along with the environmental conditions, such as climate and groundwater levels. For the best results, select reputable products from trusted suppliers and consult professionals to ensure the chosen solution aligns with your project’s needs.
