Waterproofing in construction: why choose a liquid sheath

Why choose a liquid sheath?

Unlike traditional roll membranes, the liquid sheaths apply directly into work on the new or existing surface, by roller, brush or alass, forming a continuous waterproof layer, elastic and without joints. This waterproof mantle adapts perfectly to the geometry of the surface, even in the presence of complex details, joints and passing bodies.

The result is a waterproof barrier with high performance, capable of resisting mechanical stresses, UV rays, and the aggression of even extreme atmospheric agents, such as hail.

However, the advantages of liquid sheaths are not limited to the technical aspect: the pose speed, the reduction of the scraps, the absence of free flames during application and environmental compatibility make them a winning solution in many construction contexts.

ICOBIT experience: a consolidated specialization

With over 50 years of activity in the field of impermeabilization, Icobit has made the hearts of its technical proposal waterproofing liquid liquid sheaths. The know-how developed over time has translated into the design of waterproofing and resinous solutions, each designed to guarantee high performance in specific areas of intervention.

Icobit waterproofing systems are used on:

  • Roofs and roofs
  • Terraces and balconies
  • Foundations, underground and walls counterrade
  • Tanks, canals, tanks, hanging gardens
  • Old surfaces and floors to be recovered

The elasticity of the materials, combined with their adhesion on numerous supports – concrete, metal, wood, old bituminous sheaths – allows to intervene both in the newly built phase, and in redevelopment contexts, even without removing the existing waterproofing system.

Solutions for maintenance and building redevelopment

One of the areas in which Icobit liquid sheaths can be used is precisely that of building maintenance. In numerous interventions, especially on condominium roofs, terraces, large covers and balconies, the liquid sheaths allow to renew the waterproof protection by intervening directly on the surface, without demolishing the existing mantle. This allows an efficiency in terms of time, labor costs and disposal of building waste.

Icobit systems, in this sense, can be used directly on damaged existing supports, thus creating continuous waterproof coat resistant with UV rays, rain, wind, snow, hail and fire (with maximum broof performance) which can be left exposed or directly tiled with the help of cement adhesives.

Sustainability and regulations: a concrete response

The growing attention to sustainability and compliance with the minimum environmental criteria (CAM) has pushed the impermeability sector towards the adoption of more respectful products of the environment.

Icobit responded to this challenge by designing water -based liquid sheaths and low voc content, certified by means of an EPD environmental declaration.

Technical support and continuous training

The ability to support designers, businesses and applicators throughout the process is fundamental in the ICOBIT philosophy: from the definition of the most suitable solution, to the drafting of specifications, up to the technical support on site.

The company constantly promotes professional training, technical courses, seminars and updating moments to transmit practical skills and regulatory knowledge to those who work daily in the world of impermeability.

Icobit liquid sheaths: a complete solution

Today it is increasingly evident that the real effectiveness in the resolution of water infiltration problems is obtained with system, integrated and performing solutions, capable of combining advanced materials, application skills and technical assistance on the field.

Icobit has been able to interpret this vision consistently, placing itself as a reference in a sector that requires quality, flexibility and in -depth knowledge of materials. Its waterproofing liquid sheaths today represent a synthesis between technology and applicability: they can be applied on any type of surface, from residential to civil and industrial construction, from public to private infrastructures.

In a constantly evolving market, where sustainability, regulations and performances become essential criteria, the waterproofing liquid sheaths represent one of the most effective and transverse responses to the needs of construction artifacts. Icobit, with its experience, its range of solutions and its technical approach, is confirmed as one of the references of the sector, capable of combining innovation, reliability and performance.

Designers, businesses and applicators today know they can count on a technology that does not limit itself to protecting a support, but which enhances the construction, contributing to the safety, aesthetics and durability of the works over time.
